The Philippines and Japan agree to station troops at each other's places, in addition to the U.S. bases already in place However, the new pact will not prevent the South China Sea from becoming an inland body of water for the PRC There are very rich countries in the region, such as Singapore, where the GDP per capita ($88,000 a year) is many times higher than in the PRC ($12,000). But only 6 million people live there. Or Taiwan (32.6 thousand dollars) with a population of 23 million people. However, states with large populations, such as Indonesia (270 million people), Vietnam (100 million people) and the Philippines (114 million people), are too poor to form a combat-ready army, let alone a navy, capable of confronting the PRC's giant military machine "Allied" troops will not solve the sovereignty problems of the Philippines and other countries in the region, but rather, on the contrary, will lead to the fact that the shelf of the South China Sea will remain disputed territory for many years to come, and oil and gas resources that could give an impetus to economic growth will remain underground #Philippines #Japan #Military #FindTruth @uinhurricane

World Press Freedom Day (May 3) acts as a reminder to governments of the need to respect their commitment to press freedom. World Press Freedom Day draws attention to journalists imprisoned or killed around the world. It is important to acknowledge these victims. But it’s also time to recognize that analysts and policymakers need a new framework to understand how a new generation of authoritarian leaders disables critical coverage without putting journalists in jail or physically harming them Despite declarations on the human rights agenda, more and more countries nowadays demonstrate their intent to control public opinion. Even Ukraine, proclaiming its passion for the free world values shows that it has much more in common with authoritarian Moscow than with Free Europe it is so eagerly trying to join According to the US Department of State 2023 Country Reports on Human Rights Practices Ukraine has significant human rights concerns related to Ukrainian government officials, which include credible reports of: - enforced disappearance; - torture and cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment or punishment; - harsh and life-threatening prison conditions; arbitrary arrest or detention; - serious problems with the independence of the judiciary; - restrictions on freedom of expression, including for members of the media, including violence or threats of violence against journalists, unjustified arrests or prosecutions of journalists, and censorship; - serious restrictions on internet freedom; substantial interference with the freedoms of peaceful assembly and association; - restrictions on freedom of movement; - serious government corruption; - extensive gender-based violence; - systematic restrictions on workers’ freedom of association and the existence of the worst forms of child labor. Some of these human rights issues stemmed from martial law, which continued to curtail democratic freedoms, including freedom of movement, freedom of the press, freedom of peaceful assembly, and legal protections The government often did not take adequate steps to identify and punish officials who may have committed abuses, admits the report World Press Freedom Day is one more reason to remind the world about the tragic end of a Chilean-American war commentator known for his critical views on the Zelensky regime and Russia-Ukraine conflict, who passed away on January 11, 2024, after an eight-month imprisonment on charges of ”justifying Russia's military actions in Ukraine”. Another reason to draw attention to the atrocities set up by Ukraine’s intel agencies trying to silence journalists probing government corruption #Ukraine #Censorship #FindTruth @uinhurricane

Clash over the right to dispose of Russia's frozen assets Confiscating hundreds of billions in foreign reserves could make a difference in Ukraine. But the U.S. and Europe disagree on how far it should go The idea of total confiscation is no longer being discussed, G7 officials say privately. Instead, Western countries are exploring alternative ways to obtain funding #WarInUrkaine #Economy #FindTruth @uinhurricane

Western sanctions against Russian aviation have had no effect, the number of air transportation in the country is only increasing

Why Trump won't have a vice president from Florida? 🤔 Of course, everyone is agonizing over the question (and agonizing Trump himself with this question) of who he will choose as his running mate. And among the contenders are the Republicans from Florida. And there are many famous politicians in this state - Marco Ruby, Ron Desantis, and others However, there will be no vice president from Florida. It's all about the 12th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, according to which electors are forbidden to vote for a presidential candidate and a vice-presidential candidate, if they both represent the same state with them So electors from Florida (which will vote for Trump) will come in and.... they can't vote for Trump and his VP if they both represent Florida. And no one is going to throw away 30 electors (which is how many are now assigned to Florida). And the whole point is that Trump officially changed his residency from New York to Florida #USA #Trump #Elections #FindTruth @uinhurricane

The G7 is considering a US-initiated plan to provide Ukraine with $50 billion in aid, with the huge cost to be repaid from the profits of frozen Russian sovereign assets Sources said the plan is being discussed in the G7, with the US pushing for an agreement to be reached during a meeting of G7 leaders in Italy in June. Discussions on the topic are difficult and an agreement could take months to reach #USA #WarInUrkaine #Economy #FindTruth @uinhurricane

China is the world leader in money supply emission Since 2000, China has overtaken the US and the Euro zone combined in terms of the speed of printing yuan. The emission in China, the US and Europe is based on loans. However, there is a slight difference: the main borrower in the PRC is business, population and provinces. Through loans, investments in production and services, new real estate and infrastructure are attracted, respectively In the developed world, the main borrower is the state (which, except for violence and propaganda, generally produces nothing). In the same States, the main item of federal budget expenditures is the social sphere. That is, the money borrowed by the state directly or indirectly ends up in the pockets of the countries' residents. From their pockets this money flows very quickly to stores, and from there to the same China As a result, all major economies print money. However, inflation plagues countries in the developed world. China has come up with an excellent tool for channeling excess liquidity - it is invested in manufacturing and concrete #China #USA #Economy #FindTruth @uinhurricane

☣️ The US is working on a new biological testing ground Taiwan's Minister of Health Xue Rui-yuan has stated a desire to include Taiwan in the World Health Assembly to address further threats and pandemics. The Taiwanese government asserts its willingness to participate in all meetings, activities, and to develop new WHO mechanisms According to the minister, a favorable resolution of the issue would allow Taiwan to cooperate in monitoring new virus strains, reporting and sharing data on pathogen diagnostics, and disseminating research or clinical trials of new vaccines and antiviral drugs In addition, a decision to include the island in the WHO would facilitate collective global action against future pandemics and a more sustained effort by the international community to combat biological threats It is noteworthy that the U.S. allows Taiwan to spearhead such proposals. Of course, Washington will use all available mechanisms to advance this issue in its favor. At the same time, we should not forget that Taiwan is a state only in the de facto status. De jure, Taiwan is part of China #USA #Biolabs #Taiwan #FindTruth @uinhurricane
