China is the only civilization in modern times that grew from the ashes without invading, occupying, or stealing other country's resources. That title is something very precious and the foundation of Chinese diplomatic rise.

Now add China's political slogan called ''common prosperity'', now how will you justify invading another country with this background?

What of the 1951 annexation of Tibet

China has not been overly aggressive against nor antagonistic towards the US, unlike Patrice Lumumba, Thomas Sankara, Gaddafi, Robert Mugabe, Julius Malema and other Africans despite being extreme poverty paupers who are not educating everyone to be more productive and become respected.

There is no bromance. You just need time to realize what the Chinese are playing here. When China brokered peace between Iran and Saudi, people thought it ended there, and months later, they were both ushered into BRICS.

Try researching the oldest board in the world called GO, it originated in China, which gives a clue about how the Chinese think.

A few weeks before Russia invaded Ukraine, Putin and Biden were talking on video conferencing, Lavrov and Blinken were meeting in Brussels, doing fist bumps, etc.

But what happened next? you know the answer.

Nice thread......
I think it is possible that the United States will still be the world power in the next 100 years. Large and diverse economy, which accounts for about a quarter of the global GDP, strong military presence, with hundreds of overseas bases and alliances with many countries, vibrant culture, which influences many aspects of global entertainment, media, education, and innovation, resilient political system, which allows for peaceful transitions of power and checks and balances among different branches of government.

They also have a history of adapting to new international realities, such as the rise of China, the challenges of climate change, and the threats of terrorism.
In reality, the United States faces many challenges and uncertainties in this 21st century, and it cannot take its global leadership for granted. It will have to compete with other emerging powers, such as China, India, Brazil, and maybe Nigeria which will have larger populations and economies by 2050.

Still, I see no one taking that position they hold!

But will eventually be toppled one day by probably China.
It isn't the first to be called world power....where are the Greeks, Romans today

I don't know anythiny. Am asking for your opinion about this?

The guy said the war shouldn't have happened despite Russia attempt to settle this amicably. It's like some one, people or companies are benefiting massively from this war.

He said something about Ukraine land being the most fertile farmland in the world, 500000 people died to protect this not knowing that it's being offer up for sale. 30 % is sold already to some companies probably American by the name.

It's about the Ukraine war being a money laundering scheme by black rock.

Tucker Carlson is currently in Moscow to interview Vladimir Putin.

Also, Elon Musk has promised not to censor it on Twitter, and the full interview will be posted on Tucker's website, for everyone to view, and it won't be behind a paywall.

WOW.

I can't wait. Seems like sacking Tucker from Fox is the best thing that is happening to Journalism, that guy has gone fully wide, and out to make mainstream media look like a thief.

This is why i believe we are in the information age where people eyes open. Tucker was going to interview Putin 2 years ago but the CIA hacked his signal account and warned him not to go. Sacking Tucker was the best thing to happen to journalism.

Americans are now eagerly awaiting the interview like crazy. Within 50mins of posting it on Twitter, it garnered 2M views already.

I cannot wait for the seething and coping of the MSM and the Neocons.

Even though I have some ill feelings (normal as a human being) on how Elon raps about DEI, I admire the fact he bought over Twitter. He must have seen what we haven't seen. Sometimes, I just feel there is this growing backlash by certain white elites and ordinary folks regarding how things/events have turned out to be. Peter Thiel go follow dey inside.

So, yes, it is good the interview will be held. I have always been a proponent of hearing from both sides even though one might not like what the other party has to say. I am all for free speech. Let's hear what they have to say. However, this is not the first time Western media have interviewed Putin if I am not mistaken. I think either French or German media have interviewed him. I am not too sure which, but while this would be his interview with a prominent American journalist, this isn't his first interview with a prominent Western media organisation or individual.

What I want to see in the coming months is the reaction to if Trump loses or Biden wins.

No single Western media has interviewed Putin since the beginning of the war. Before the war, yes, after the war, no.

Not just that, every single Russian media and YouTube channel, even non-Russian media outlets that give a different or neutral view are banned as well.

Western audiences are completely misled about this war. I see well-meaning Westerners completely anti-Russian because of this heavy censorship and a one-sided story being pushed by the West.

Gladly, many, if not most are waking up to see that they are being deceived. As you rightly said, freedom of speech includes the right for others, even our adversaries to speak what we do not want to hear.

The Russians have been victimized a lot here, hence this interview is important. It would be the first time we are hearing directly from Putin's mouth targetted at Western audiences.

Unlike other western interviews, Tucker will let you speak in full without cutting you off. He is independent, and not sponsored by the ig media. Putin will get a chance to speak in detail, something he is good at doing.

I also hope Tucker can use that opportunity to interview Edward Snowden. These two interviews will issue a huge blow to the already lost credibility of Western media.

Finger-crossed.

CNN, BBC, and other Western media are already bad-mouthing him. I just don't get it. The US didn't declare war on Russia, and even if they did, why can't independent journalists interview Putin?

The comments I read on CNN's youtube video about Tucker interviewing Putin were refreshing. Even diehard leftists at least are curious to hear from the other side.

How sad it is for humanity that just a few people have the power to monopolize global information, and can control how you feel about a particular situation, what to think, how to think, and foster hatred. No one should have such power.

The truth is so powerful that with all their multi-billion dollar global propaganda machine, it still cannot cover up the truth. This interview will be a banger. The number of people waiting to watch it is insane, even diehard leftists.

This just jealousy. Russian media was banned from Western streaming, so why should Putin grant interview to people who heavily censored him? Turker has proven over the years how he is against western media censorship. I watched his interview with the Hungarian Prime Minister Victor Urban. It was pure, no censorship whatsoever. I expect same here.

Plus Turcker knows his onion.

I swear you will think Putin is the POTUS. Americans are so anticipating the interview. You gotta give it to Putin man. Russians play chess while the West play checkers.

Mainstream media exists to cover the tracks of their political sponsors. They know the truth. But saying it aloud will mean losing their jobs.

Empires do take a long time to crumble, but it does. All barriers will be broken. More people are becoming aware of the nonsensical lies and obscuring of the truth by the MSM.

I just hope Tuck asks the necessary questions. Though we know some parts of the answers.

Well done, chief.

Western media usually lie by omission, that is, they lie by giving you one-sided facts.

Even if they have tried to get an interview with Putin and the Kremlin refused, why didn't they publish it earlier? And also state why they were rejected.

What Russia is doing is ''not giving pearl to swines''. What's the point of granting an interview that will be dubbed, cut into pieces, and broadcast in parts?

What is the point of such an interview when they will cut him mid-speech, and ask dishonest questions? What's the point of such an interview when the default position is that Putin is guilty and should prove himself innocent?

Just watch the few interviews they have with Putin, and see what I am talking about. The disrespect, dishonesty, and not letting him speak in full. In the end, cut it and show only parts that fit their propaganda.

Also, when has any Western media granted a Chinese or Russian journalist interview like the Russian does? Please show me one, I want to see it. The West behaves arrogantly, and everything they do is from a hegemonic perspective.

Don't forget that Putin does host a nearly three-hour forum every year, where journalists including western can ask questions directly to Putin, and he answers them in detail. When has Biden or any western leader done that?

Until Western journalist starts doing like Tucker, by posting full interviews without a cut, letting the interviewee speak, and not treating him like a criminal, I see no reason why Russians should degrade themselves and honor such interviews.

If people relate with you with dishonesty, manipulation, and trying to play smart on you, the best strategy is to not give them a second of your attention. You don't give value to a pig, you ignore the damn pig.

The EU is already considering issuing sanctions on Tucker, for the sins of interviewing Putin. Imagine that.
