How is it worrisome? People are praying you call it a worrisome sight.

I beg to differ. The Pacific war was a distraction that favoured Mao else the Japanese would have tightened their stranglehold on china.

Mao and Chinese peasants had been engaging Imperial Japanese troops even before the Pacific wars started. Japanese invasion of China began in 1931. And the Pacific wars started after 1941 Pearl Harbor attack not even immediately. So how was the Pacific wars a distraction? Japan even overstretched itself by attacking different countries and Islands in Asia.

There is the link to the Japan Colonial activity
You can read for yourself.
even the centre of china administrative authority Beijing was captured, roughly 30% of entire China was captured by the imperial forces.

[b]all this were discussion around the USA president and it's military planners, the fact that the Soviet union had a Pact with the Chinese made it impossible to use nuke on China.

You are making it look as if Japan controlled China and put it under her. Japan struggled to capture China it was a heavy burden that was unsuccessful cause of China's vastness and the stiff resistance. With or without US in the Pacific China would still have routed Japan the credits go to Mao Zedong and his peasant resistance movement.

In this present day America will never engage China. They had tried it once and it was very bloody for them.

It was a simple analysis, was China not under the imperial Japanese empire??
There was no option to nuke China, the Chinese had a Pact with the Soviet union, nuking China would have put the Soviet union and the USA on a direct nuclear path

China was not under imperial Japanese empire. Japan only invaded parts of China which are Manchuria, Nanking, and one other city and China still had its own functioning government while under Japanese harassment.

There was option to Nuke China during the Korean war cause China was a pain in America's ass. Please type "US plan to nuke China during the Korean war" on Google and you'll see results and even academic journals. It's not a new info now. I am even surprised you don't know.

The same Chinese that the imperial Japanese dealt with in ww2, or is it another Chinese you are talking about
the same China that was under the rule of the imperial Japanese empire If not for the USA entering the war in the pacific, the whole Asia would be speaking Japanese language now.

in the Korea war China was fighting on home turf, the USA had to do mobilisation from north America, then transfer weapons and man power from across the Atlantic, the Chinese were also fresh, the USA forces were battle weary fighting the NK invasion.
And also the battle ended on a stalemate the Chinese never gain any ground, they only prevented the USA have taking the whole Korea, when the Chinese tired to counter they were also pushed back, so sir what your points?.

All you typed here shows you don't understand the history you are talking about.

Japan had already built an industrialised westernized military even before WW1 & WW2 because it was the first country in Asia to adopt the western culture fully and having been forced to open its borders through a gun boat diplomacy by America, China was just coming out of Feudalism and had no sophisticated military unlike Capitalist Japan that had forged a relationship with the west and learned how to built military equipment what did you expect.

Even at that Japan still struggled to occupy China cause China is so vast and the stiff resistance they were recieving from Mao Zedong and his peasant revolutionary resistance fighters really made the occupation of China a tough one. Japan only succeeded in committing atrocities, killings and rape and in the end they were still routed out of China by these resistance fighters.

This your Korean war analysis is wrong. Till today Americans are still regretting China entered the Korean war. An option to Nuke China during the Korean war was on the table. This General Douglas MacArthur put much pressure on president Harry Truman to nuke China that was making America's foray into Korea difficult and Truman had to reconsider it by retiring him.

All of you thinking America would fight China over Taiwan are dreaming.

He doesn't know he is shooting himself with this statement. Same old strategy anyway it worked for him the first time but it won't work this time. Always trying to satisfy and rouse his ultranationalist base. Americans don wise up.

I am looking at schools that will not harass for payments sha
from what I hear from associates, Bradford are not quick to harass ppl for outstanding payments....
while looking for "cheap schools"; also consider student support and benevolence.

Imagine Teeside Uni saying they will pay flight ticket back home for students owing ?
is it not better to keep them for them to "find" the money and pay than to spend money to get them deported then lose out on all the income.....
these guys eh

They want to use them as scapegoat and to serve as detterent to others. The thing shock me sef.

RodgersAkpafu:
I'll tell you this
Back in 2021, if I recollect properly, international students were getting jobs anyhow....

During off term time, people were doing 55 hrs steady (across two agencies sha, the likelihood of one agency giving u 55 hrs is next to nil) and school fees payment was sweet

Back then too, if you got a care job that offered sponsorship, you can even get COS before graduating sch
But Third worlders will be third worlders, rsp Nigerians and Indians
they started getting work and dropping out of school, hence messing up school budgets

You new entrants are paying for the sins and abuse of the predecessors
but there is still hope....

I still suspect that down the line, western economies, especially Canada will reopen the doors again

Well said. This is what everyone keep telling me. They keep saying we are paying for the sins of those who came before us. Some employers don't even want to hear that you are a student. It is well

The west is just getting more desperate about this Ukraine war.

⚡New Ukrainian recruits during training.

Hitler's Volkssturm comes to mind.

On this day 80 years ago the largest sea borne invasion in history took place on the beaches of Normandy, France. It was an operation that began the liberation of Europe from the grip of Nazi Germany. Also known as Normandy landings, Operation Overlord. World leaders, veterans, servicemen and many WW2 history enthusiasts are in Normandy France to celebrate this significant day in the history of Europe. Military parachutists have landed in Normandy again to stage how it happened 80 years ago, amphibious rafts have been used in the commemoration too. May the souls of those who gave their lives on that significant day and for the destruction of Nazism continue to rest in peace.

Simeonjoe1:
China is number 1 sisi I never knew why I rated them. If only defending justice in Chinese soil means world justice. On other places thousands of miles away from China they won't go. They could easily ease the tension on Russia by opening up another front in Taiwan closer to home but NO ordinary US threat scurried them away.

It is not US threat. China does not fear the US when it comes to Taiwan. China is confident US won't engage her in a military battle over an Island that shares no historical connection with the United States. China has said it that it wants a peaceful reunification with the Island and it hopes to achieve that if the Nationalist Party (KMT) leads the country someday cause the Nationalist Party has said it wants a reunification with China and opposes independence. But the former leader Tsai Ing Wen and this present leader from the DPP are in favour of independence that's what is riling China.

What China is doing is to put more pressure on the DPP but if they are hell bent on throwing away the One-China policy then China will strike them hard.

Allthelight:
equipment was hit... It is in all news channels and wikipedia u can read it up.

Israel's invincibility has been rendered useless first by Hamas and now Iran. The belief that no one dares attack Israel and go away with it without risking the full wrath of the so called "invincible and most powerful military in M.E" has vanished into thin air. Iran has established detterence with what it did to Israel last week. Even America has told Israel it won't be part of any strike against Iran think about that.

Iran struck to set a red line and establish detterence while Israel struck to save face. Those are two different objectives. Israel continues to miscalculate and it is really doing herself much harm. Everyone now knows Israel cannot sustain a fight or even pick on its opponents without help from U.S and European allies and even Arab countries. What a humiliation to the "most powerful and Invincible military in Middle East" This has revealed Israel's weakness.

By now Netanyahu would be regretting that stupid action of striking Iranian consulate in Syria cause he didn't know it would expose Israel's unclothedness and over dependence on the West to the world again. Israel is nothing without America and the West

Procashtips:
I suspect Iran got nukes

Me too.

Procashtips:
Seems it's time for that artificial entity called Israel to be wiped off.

The stubborn cult gang running that place are suicidal in nature if truly they carried out any attack.

They are emboldened by US and it allies unwavering support. They know even if they escalate America won't allow them to suffer defeat that is their strength and courage. Iran should get nukes that is if they haven't gotten secret untested nukes.

WrriterNg:
⚡During recent Meetings of the Israeli War Cabinet; Minister of Defense, Yoav Gallant and Minister Benny Gantz requested to Delay a Retaliatory Strike against Iran until a Regional Coalition could be Established against the Iranian Regime, however a Majority of the Cabinet believed that an Israeli Response should be Immediate with or without Coordination with other Allies.

There won't be any regional coalition against Iran just bow your head in shame and don't rattle a sleeping lion anymore. Start behaving responsibly henceforth. Yeye people giving excuses after they had weighed the consequences of attacking Iran.

FoolishBoy419:
I think one of the reasons they want to respond is to prove to the world that they can attack Iran with greater success, given that Iran has a less powerful air defense system and no allies to help shoot down missiles. Even with the best Air defense, defending would be much harder because Iran is 75x bigger than Israel. They know they can easily get bragging rights with that.

On the flip side, it would take Iran 75x less effort to flood Israel's small, densely populated country with hell after overwhelming their air defense. Fighting Iran without direct external assistance or WMDs will be a very stupid mistake.

My question is will Israel be able to fight on multiple fronts after it has stupidly attacked Iran cause it is still struggling with Hamas. America and its western allies are the ones who can help Israel manage the consequences of attacking Iran at this time but the question is, are they themselves ready for this awful event considering the harm it will do to global economy and the region in particular which they have interests in. They will rein in Israel especially the rabid dog Netanyahu. Meanwhile Israel can still continue to carry out acts of sabotage inside Iran just to please itself but I don't believe they would dare attack Iranian positions in Syria again. Iran has set a redline.

Alamkir:
To be honest, they weren't sure Iran is going to get angry this much on the attack at the Consulate, with excuse that they didn't hit the main Consulate.
They have been killing Iran military officers with no response from iran, I think they thought it was just another day at the office

Exactly. The silence of Iran over this Israel madness in Syria has been mistaken for cowardice. Iran has shown the world it won't tolerate this shit anymore. Iran should now step up its game with "fire for fire" henceforth.

lanre316:
And you think Iran cannot be hurt badly too in the same way or worse?

One thing America has come to realize is that they now know Israel intention is to drag them into its madness. Israel knows it can't take on Iran alone. It understand the consequences of attacking Iranian nuclear sites but doing everything to drag America to help her do it. This attack from Iran is a win for Iran as America will start treading more carefully while it still maintains its security commitment to a weak Israel that can't do it alone, an Israel that can't face a ragtag Hamas alone. But America will never help Israel strike Iran.
