And the World looks the other way...
Ping
Why doesn’t the Dalai Lama go give himself up, like Jesus did? Be a REAL hero...
We should probably recreate the old ChiCom Troll Hunter’s ping list. What say?
Waiting for the resident ChiCom trolls to show up on the thread and claim that the “Tibetian terrorists” (read that as civilians incl. babies) deserve “to be quashed.”
That's the ticket. Tibetans will really get mad and the Chinese would have full scale revolt on their hands.
I'm not even going to touch the last part of your post............
Maybe the politicians look the other way, but there are protests outside various Chinese embassies. The Olympics should be interesting.
It ain’t gonna look good if there are Buddhist monks self-immolating at various Olympic venues. The whole world will be watching.
“...Chinese would have full scale revolt on their hands.”
That wouldn’t faze the Chinese — they have the weapons and the Tibetans have the rocks. Whether they’d have to kill 5, 50 or 500 is of no concern to the Chicoms. Boycotting the Olympics would get their attention.
And they’re awarded the Olympics.
What people dont seem to realize is that THIS IS the best face China is putting out to the world because of the Olympics and the dollars that go along with it. You can bet that as soon as the Olympics are over, it's going to be a lot worse for a lot of people/countries when China does not have to give a flying f**k about what the world thinks of them.
You saw it here first.
Good post....insightful
I agree with you. By ChiCom standards, this is “restrained†(defined as not going completely medieval on Tibet). When the Olympics are over, thing will go from bad to really and truly awful. The current brutality and thuggery by the ChiComs shall pale in comparison to what is likely coming down the road.
The other day I saw a thread where someone was calling anyone against the Chinese on this a bunch of liberals.
Chicom trolls? We have them here? Who would they be?
Heh. They'd do that in a day with one bad Heparin shipment for a Hundred Bucks, and sleep fine afterward.
I'll never forget a guy I met from a Communist country who told me, "You Americans just don't realize there are places where your life is not worth caca."
And oil leases, control of the Canal, the old Soviet listening post in Lourdes, Cuba, Nuclear warhead technology, al Gore.....
Tibetans crossing Nangpa Pass fired upon by border police, one year on from death of Tibetan nun
Coming from a bunch of Communists, that’s rich, isn’t it?
We’ve have fewer trolls now than we had in the past but the ones that remain/rejoin are known for persistent dishonesty and blatant use of PLA propaganda as “news from China/Taiwan/etc.”
It’s usually quite easy to spot them (and fun busting their lies too).
