  1. From OEC, Libya 2019 oil exports, total $26.3 billion Italy = 18% (EU) China = 16% Germany: 15% (EU) Spain = 14.6% (EU) UAE= 5.73% France = 5.5% (EU) USA = 5.29% "On 10 March 2011, France was the first country in the world to recognise the National Transitional Council as the legitimate government of Libya". France dragged NATO into the Libya adventure! Look in the mirror.

  5.  @Shenzhou.  The US and UK signed Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum that traded Ukraine's nuclear weapons for security assurances. Russia has exited Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum. France and China have signed a watered-down Budapest Memorandum.

  6. Before Euromaidan, Russia started a trade war against Ukraine, forcing Yanukovych to sign a base rental extension agreement that breached Ukraine Constitution 1996, Article 17 disallows foreign military bases after 2017. Read the Ukraine Constitution 1996, Article 17 which disallows foreign military bases after 2017. CONSTITUTION OF UKRAINE Adopted at the Fifth Session of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine on 28 June 1996 Article 17 The location of foreign military bases shall not be permitted on the territory of Ukraine. Yanukovych breached the Ukraine Constitution 1996, Article 17. After 2017, Ukraine's constitution is incompatible with foreign military bases hosting either NATO or CSTO. If Yanukovych didn't sign the military base rental extension, Russia would be kicked out of Crimea. Putin's narrative is FALSE. Putin's pressure caused Yanukovych to make a mistake.

  9.  @stanspb763  > There was no Russian trade war FALSE.. In mid-August 2013, Russia blocked virtually all imports from Ukraine. The ultimate aim of which would be to prevent Ukraine from signing an Association Agreement with the EU at the Eastern Partnership summit in Vilnius in late November.

  11. The Ten Great Campaigns (Chinese: 十全武功; pinyin: Shíquán Wǔgōng) were a series of military campaigns launched by the Qing dynasty of China in the mid–late 18th century during the reign of the Qianlong Emperor (r. 1735–1796). They included three to enlarge the area of Qing control in Inner Asia: two against the Dzungars (1755–1757) and the "pacification" of Xinjiang (1758–1759). The other seven campaigns were more in the nature of police actions on frontiers already established: two wars to suppress the Gyalrong of Jinchuan, Sichuan, another to suppress the Taiwanese Aboriginals (1787–88), and four expeditions abroad against the Burmese (1765–1769), the Vietnamese (1788–1789), and the Gurkhas on the border between Tibet and Nepal (1790–1792), with the last counting as two. President Xi's argument is based on historical Imperial China's Ten Great Campaigns. Territorial disputes around Xi's China are based on Imperial China's Ten Great Campaigns. During the 4th Sino-Burmese Wars starting in 1768, Imperial China invaded the Kingdom of Burma. Burma hired European musketeers and gunners, hence Burma allied itself with the rising French Empire against Imperial China's invasion. Imperial China's imperialist conquest led to kinetic engagement with other powers. Look in the mirror.

  15.  @Shenzhou.  >So you're saying that this armed conflict started in 2014, not in 2022? The move towards a "hot war" between Ukraine and Russia has its trigger points from armed conflicts from Feb 2014. There's nothing new with "old world" Slavic wars i.e. Grand Duchy of Moscow power nexus has been in conflict against the Kyiv power nexus for a long time.

  16. China blocked Australia's and New Zealand's marine park proposals in Antarctica. It is the eighth year the proposal has been knocked back, with China and Russia voting the proposal down on previous occasions. This caused Australia to enlist help from the EU while New Zealand enlist help from the US.

  18.  @Shenzhou.  > Xinjiang was part of China even before Jesus Christ himself was born FALSE. China's multiple languages are echoes of the past separate individual kingdoms. The earliest inhabitants of the region encompassing modern day Xinjiang were genetically of Ancient North Eurasian and Northeast Asian origin, with later geneflow from during the Bronze Age linked to the expansion of early Indo-Europeans. These population dynamics gave rise to a heterogeneous demographic makeup. Iron Age samples from Xinjiang show intensified levels of admixture between Steppe pastoralists and northeast Asians, with northern and eastern Xinjiang showing more affinities with northeast Asians, and southern Xinjiang showing more affinity with central Asians _Between 2009 and 2015, the remains of 92 individuals in the Xiaohe Cemetery were analyzed for Y chromosome and mitochondrial DNA markers. Genetic analyses of the mummies showed that the paternal lineages of the Xiaohe people were of European[42] origin, while the maternal lineages of the early population were diverse, featuring both East Eurasian and West Eurasian lineages, as well as a small number of Indian lineages. Over time, the west Eurasian maternal lineages were gradually replaced by east Eurasian maternal lineages. _ Nomadic tribes such as the Yuezhi, Saka and Wusun were probably part of the migration of Indo-European speakers who had settled in Western Central Asia long before the Xiongnu and Han Chinese. By the time the Han dynasty under Emperor Wu (r. 141–87 BC) wrested the western Tarim Basin away from its previous overlords (the Xiongnu), it was inhabited by various peoples who included the Indo-European-speaking Tocharians in Turfan and Kucha, the Saka peoples centered in the Shule Kingdom and the Kingdom of Khotan, the various Tibeto-Burmese groups (especially people related to the Qiang) as well as the Han Chinese people.[48] Some linguists posit that the Tocharian language had high amounts of influence from Paleosiberian languages,[49] such as Uralic and Yeniseian languages. YOUR NARRATIVE IS FALSE.

  22.  @stanspb763  A trade war is not a simple on/off binary switch i.e. a trade war has different severity levels. For example, China's trade war against Australia was only against certain product categories e.g. barley, beef, cotton, lamb, lobsters, timber, wine, and coal. Your "trade war" understanding is wrong.

  23.  @stanspb763  Why are China and Russia complaining about Australia obtaining UK/US's highly enriched fissile material for Australian SSN? Japan and South Korea wants the same AUKUS deal. Hint: it's highly enriched fissile material access.

  24.  @Shenzhou.  Date August 2013 via DW Tighter Russian customs controls at the joint border amounted to a complete halt of exports, the Federation of Ukrainian Employers said in a statement released Thursday. As hundreds of cargo train cars were stuck at the Russian-Ukrainian border, the business lobby group said the trade restrictions recently imposed by Moscow would cost companies up to $2.5 billion (1.8 billion euros) in losses. On Wednesday, Russian border guards started comprehensive checks on all Ukrainian cargo in the wake of tougher restrictions on products made by its Western neighbor, which had been announced by Moscow earlier this week. While the government in Kyiv didn't comment on the new controls, Ukrainian opposition leader Arseniy Yatsenyuk described them as a trade war which had reached a threatening scale. On Thursday, Yatsenyuk also accused Russia of trying to force Ukraine into joining a Moscow-led economic trade bloc, called Customs Union. Russian President Vladimir Putin pressed the idea of forming a Eurasian economic union during a meeting with Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovich last month. However, Yanukovich resisted the attempt, hoping to sign an association agreement with the European Union in November.

  25.  @Shenzhou.  The Minsk agreement is meaningless when Russia broke Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum and Russia's land grab against Ukraine. Ukraine using Budapest Memorandum's respect for Ukraine's respect territorial integrity clause to enlist aid from the West. The combined "rules-based order" and Budapest Memorandum's complete failures will add extra arguments for independent nuclear weapons for smaller countries.

  26.  @ca-126-kennels7  US EXIT from Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum has a negative outcome for US allies being in the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons Treaty (NPT). Trump knows about this issue, hence why Trump argued for nuclear arms for SK, JP, AUS and 'etc'. AUKUS is the halfway house between the "rules-based order" and the potential collapse of the "rules-based order". The collapse of the "rules-based order" will mark the return of imperial empire building.

The US and EU do NOT have FTA. Your " US-controlled EU" narrative is false. FTA walkaround between the US and EU is done via Switzerland proxy since Switzerland has FTA with both the EU and the US.

NATO created the template for multiple European countries to work together, hence the European Union and its Article 42.7 defense pact. Germany is aware of Russia's raw resource advantage, hence the need for North America (USA, Canada)'s raw resource security guarantees. The EU has completed FTA with Australia and Canada. European Union is tapping the ex-British Empire's raw resource countries.

  45. @DabDaddy Timeline On 16 August 2003, Libya formally admitted responsibility for Pan Am Flight 103 (Lockabie bombing) in a letter presented to the president of the United Nations Security Council. "On 10 March 2011, France was the first country in the world to recognise the National Transitional Council as the legitimate government of Libya". United Nations Security Council Resolution 1973 was adopted by the United Nations Security Council on 17 March 2011 in response to the First Libyan Civil War. The Security Council resolution was proposed by France, Lebanon, and the United Kingdom. ----- Muammar Gaddafi played stupid games and win stupid prizes. The US supported France(EU)'s and UK(EU)'s, and Lebanon's United Nations Security Council Resolution 1973. NATO wasn't used until United Nations Security Council Resolution 1973 since it was vetoed by Turkey.

According to the Bank for International Settlements, China’s debt-to GDP-ratio reached 257 percent in 2017, higher than the United States’ 152 percent China has a bad US debt addiction copy. There's nothing magical about China's rise to power... it's US-style debt addiction done badly.

  50.  @Shenzhou.  Qing Dynasty of China's Ten Great Campaigns First campaign Of the ten campaigns, the final destruction of the Dzungars (or Zunghars) was the most significant. The 1755 pacification of Dzungaria and the later suppression of the Revolt of the Altishahr Khojas secured the northern and western boundaries of Xinjiang, eliminated rivalry for control over the Dalai Lama in Tibet, and thereby eliminated any rival influence in Mongolia. It also led to the pacification of the Ilamicised, Turkic-speaking southern half of Xinjiang immediately thereafter. Your "Xinjiang was part of China even before Jesus Christ himself was born" is a red herring. My point: China's current territorial issues have their origins BEFORE the US being a superpower.
