Imagine for a moment that NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, the New York Times, the Washington Post, Time, Newsweek, NPR, the Associated Press, Reuters, et. al., suddenly came out tomorrow and broadcast and published that they believed the United States government should go to war against Mexico!
Obviously, we stretching the logical boundaries of thought. These Leftist organizations, if nothing else, certainly view Mexico in the fondest of light, preferring in fact its citizens to Americans, as is evident from all the pandering they do to the illegal alien community and its advocates.
But stretch your imagination for a moment and pretend that they did. The Fake News Industrial Complex is run by the United States government. There’s no reason to dance around the subject. It’s the truth. Let’s be real. The mainstream media is nothing but an echo chamber for the Swamp and its supporters. Between the Party of the Jackass, the RINO Establishmentariat, the Deep State of the intelligence community, and Barack Hussein Obama’s Department of Shadowy Endeavors (DSE), the mainstream media is 100% committed to ensuring that they remain in power and that their decisions (however against the American constituency they are) are upheld and broadcast daily.
If the Fake News Industrial Complex was to announce that they believed the U.S. Government should declare war on Mexico, you can bet your last dollar that this opinion was coming directly from the U.S. Government itself.
In China, the state-controlled media of the Communist government has published an opinion that, in essence, calls for all-out war with India over disputed territories.
China’s state-backed media has taken warmongering to the next level and is now threatening confrontation in not just Doklam but in other areas along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) as well.
China’s hardline Global Times declared that Beijing “doesn’t recognize the land under the actual control of India is Indian territory” and indicated that China could take “further countermeasures” along the LAC.
In fact, Beijing has already signaled its intentions toward a multi-front show of strength.
On Friday, the Chinese military conducted live-fire exercises in Southwest China’s Tibet Autonomous Region, state-run China Central Television (CCTV) reported. The brigade that conducted the drills was from the PLA’s Tibet Miltary Command, which guards the LAC along several sections connecting the mountainous Tibetan region.
This latest India-China standoff though began in Doklam, in the Sikkim sector, after China violated the border into the area, which is in Bhutanese territory, and started building a road there in mid-June. And far from backing down, Global Times is urging Beijing to go full steam ahead with construction there, in addition to the “countermeasures” along the LAC.
Already, “…road and rail in the Tibetan area have been extended close to the border area with India, Nepal and Bhutan,” the article said.
On the map below, you can clearly see that the Line of Active Control (as indicated by the gold line) is a wandering 2,600 mile long border area, ripe for disputes and skirmishes.
Both Nepal and Bhutan remain somewhat neutral in this dispute, but have been used by both larger nations in attempts to leverage advantage from the other side. India is wedged between China and Pakistan, both of which are hostile at times to its government. If the disputes in these areas of China boil over into an international incident, it could destroy the treaty signed in 2013 that guarantees the non-armed conflict assurances between the two nations.
The United States continues to watch this development closely, as India remains an important ally of the West, regardless of its interest in the China/Russia initiated answer to NATO called the Shanghai Cooperative Organization (SCO) which has been gaining membership and power since 2006.
India, Pakistan and China are all nuclear nations. This is a tension-filled area that, in these times of terror in the Middle East and Asis, could serve to be an area of particular focus for the advancing jihad. The Global Times of China, which published the piece calling for more confrontation may be the difference between this remaining a tense standoff and a full-scale war.
