  1. cna don't dare to show this video ?

    senior Chinese military official delivered a sharp warning over rising global nuclear risks and accused Japan of reviving militarist policies during a major security forum.

    Speaking at the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore, the Chinese representative criticized the AUKUS submarine pact, warned about nuclear proliferation, called for a treaty on mutual no-first-use of nuclear weapons, and urged reforms to global security governance.

    Beijing also warned that the militarization of artificial intelligence, cyberspace and outer space could undermine strategic stability and increase the risk of future conflicts.

  2. IISS is an event for Military Industrial Complex to sell more weapons. Pete Hegseth Secretary of WAR is promoting US weapon sales directly or indirectly to benefit its MIC.

  3. All Minister for Defence knew that , all current unrest are cause by theU$ , but don't dare to say it.

    After kidnaped Venezuela leader and attack lran, When asked about "rules-based international law system"

    Trump :

    "I don't need international law".

    "Yeah, there is one thing. My own morality. My own mind. It's the only thing that can stop me."

    –>But does he have morals?

    2025 tariff VVar , mess up VVorld trade and supply chain. "Encourage(coercion)" allies to transfer trillions to invest in U$ companies define by him.

    2026 Attack lran , mess/block up VVorld energy supply , then offer much expensive U$ LNG gas+0iI .

    2027 ???

    2028 ???

  4. Caught between an Anti-China stance and a US led narrative , the puppet theatre is confused who is the cast but with friends like the US, who needs enemies ?

  5. we have one shameless world bully travel across pacific over 10 thousand kilometers,
    coerced little nations into giving up territory for u.s. military base , now wants you to pay for u.s. weapons !

  6. "U.S. energy and trade embargo against Cuba violates international law"
    Legal analyses point out that the U.S. utilizes "secondary sanctions"—such as the 1996 Helms-Burton Act and the January 2026 Executive Order 14380—to penalize foreign countries and companies that trade or provide oil to Cuba. Critics argue this extraterritorial application of domestic law infringes upon the sovereignty of third-party states and violates the customary international law principle of non-intervention in the internal affairs of other states.

    United Nations General Assembly voted overwhelmingly to condemn the U.S. economic embargo against Cuba for the 33rd consecutive year.
    Most recently, UN General Assembly Resolution 80/4 (2025) called for an end to the embargo in a 165–7 vote.

  7. Just don't be a Smart Alec. Stay in the background. You can't afford to offend the panda or uncle sam. You are only a tiny fry. Just find a niche to survive.

  8. 新加坡在台灣民進黨眼裡,只是 "鼻屎大的國家";台灣在川普眼裡,只如 "筆尖大",呵呵,是鼻屎大 ? 還是筆尖大 ? "狗仗人勢" 的時代已經結束;以後就是 "人和人" 之間 "面對面" 對決的時代,曾經當過狗的,必將被淘汰。
    至於日本,日本有個叫 "里見八犬" 的傳說,日本人嚮往當 "忠狗" 。

  9. In the Shangrilla Dialogues, no defence minister or leader dare to challenge the US Hegemony of Destruction and Corruption lead to Dire CONSEQUENCES except China. China is the only country dare to ask the US to tow the line of Trade, Economy leading to Peace, Harmony and Prosperity. Crossing the Thin Red Line of creating Havoc, Disturbances, Turmoil and Chaos to change the weaker country will face catastrophic disaster. An incident happened in the US and Israel War against Iran which both countries lost the war. Both countries suffered not only Military but also Economic Catastrophic Dire CONSEQUENCES.

  10. Unbelieve how many panda huggers in this thread!
    Let's be clear, since the rise of China economically and military the U.S and is allies must maintain hegemony to ensure peace through the World. Take a look at Ukraine!
    Also take a good look at how the CCP Chinese authorities treat it people and it neighbours.

  11. Donald Trump and the Trump family are the most corrupt in the world. When the head of the fish is rotten, the entire body stinks! America is rotting from the inside out. Billionaires who think they've got US politicians and Supreme Court Justices by the balls will suffer globally, and in America, soon. Global leaders now see the rot and corrupt motivation of US corporations, especially its Military Industrial Complex, and policies will be put in place to ensure none of these corporations become too big to be brought to justice. YOU CANNOT NEGOTIATE OR TRUST A CORRUPT SOCIETY.

  12. Just as natural wool from sheep provides superior warmth and strength, Chan Chun Sing (CCS) has transformed into a charismatic and persuasive leader. He should be the next Prime Minister to ensure Singaporeans' interests are truly prioritized, restoring faith that the government understands the real-world impact of policies like the GST, Carbon Tax and hardly affordable public housing contributing to the Rising Cost of Living and low TFR.
