I’ve long been fascinated by how employment tribunal awards are reported in the mainstream press. This is a brilliant investigation into how the system is utterly failing people.

Are there equivariant vector bundle structure on the tangent bundle of compact Riemann surfaces?

The Chinese underwater vehicle found in Filipino waters appears to be a glider, typically used for both scientific and military data gathering (and the data is civil-military agnostic). It is different to the 'Sea Wing' previously used to gather intel in Indian ocean and Indonesian waters

Trump is unpopular in Japan.

Colby’—（U.S. aid to Ukraine drains resources needed to deter China and defend Taiwan./To save Taiwan, America must pull back in Ukraine）—This exposes a bait-and-switch in Colby’s logic—But even without Ukraine aid, the Trump administration is already slashing Taiwan’s support.

Defeat of Ukraine would embolden China towards Taiwan, Taiwanese officer says at forum in Poland – Reuters: ‘Hsieh Jih-Sheng, deputy chief of the general staff for intelligence at Taiwan’s defence ministry, […] attended in person wearing full military uniform and speaking in English.’

I simply cannot fathom how the Japanese government could have agreed to this.

Trump questioned the value of alliances and hinted the U.S. might not defend Japan unless it paid more. That shook trust in America’s security guarantee. Trump has publicly humiliated Japan on multiple occasions.

This sounds more like a plan to reduce the consequences of abandoning them.

Trump trying to shakedown Taiwan to steal their industry… if Taiwan somehow transfers its industry to the US, he’ll 100% support the One China Policy as a deal for soy bean imports that never happen arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

We haven’t even begun legislating to deal with the threat of having CCP surveillance stations covering our entire country. Ironically, the CCP has excellent regulations about this that we should copy. Their paranoia is quite reliable. www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

I bought new shoes.

1. “They talk as if they have a choice” → Denies Taiwan’s agency, portrays it as powerless. 2. “Tacit US-China agreement” → Fabricates inevitability and collusion makes resistance look futile.

My colleague is studying English, especially listening comprehension. While I was watching this Trump speech at lunchtime, my colleague immediately told me to turn off the video. I asked her why, and she said The most chilling lines from Trump's disgraceful speech.

This ruling may deter other firms from slipping shoddy PPE or overcharging during emergencies. Because this involves a politically connected individual (a Conservative peer), it could raise questions about nepotism, cronyism, or misuse of “VIP lanes” during the crisis.

1/who follows and is followed by the account, repeated coordination (same posts shared across many accounts), accounts that amplify inorganically. 2/posts timed to match known influence campaigns, use of specific talking points that mirror known state narratives.

Imagine running national security based on personal mood swings—today you’re safe if the boss likes your tie, tomorrow you’re fired if he doesn’t. That’s not leadership, that’s reality TV governance.

Tying defense against invasion (a core security issue) to chip relocation (an economic demand) sends the message that alliances and deterrence are conditional favors rather than commitments. If defense is openly auctioned off, deterrence weakens—Trump’s America has lost all credibility.

Japan prizes stability, civility, and consensus. Sanseito thrives on imported culture-war rhetoric. Japanese politics has its flaws, but it doesn’t need to be ‘shaken up’ by people who profit from chaos abroad. Importing Trump-style polarization will only divide Japan, not strengthen it.

It makes them look fringe and out of touch with Japan. Sanseito’s international arm’ isn’t Japan leading the world — it’s a small party importing foreign extremism into Japanese politics. Hitching yourself to Steve Bannon is not global leadership, it’s political cosplay.

The PLA is literally a marxist organization and they spend like 50% of the time doing mandatory ideological training.

Washington’s commitment is based on the Taiwan Relations Act (TRA), decades of strategic interest, and bipartisan recognition of Taiwan’s role in regional security. Reducing it to a crude quid-pro-quo misrepresents both 🇺🇸policy and the broader geopolitical stakes. Lutnick's promise is worthless.

Food for thought. thedefensepost.com/2025/08/19/s...

Japan's far-right groups have consistently amplified and spread anti-immigration sentiments and exclusionary attitudes toward foreigners.

If Taiwan must ship half its factories abroad to earn protection, then protection isn’t based on principles or shared values — it’s just ransom dressed up as strategy.

If the US ties its protection of Taiwan to corporate relocation, it implies Taiwan’s security is conditional on business deals — a dangerous precedent that undermines the credibility of US commitments under the Taiwan Relations Act.

Moving half of production to the US would erode Taiwan’s leverage and make it more vulnerable, not safer.

Stephen Miller is killing people in the Caribbean, one secretary is threatening Taiwan, another secretary is talking about bailing out Argentina, the DOD is preparing for a fight with China that isn’t going to happen. Serenity!

Chinese propagandist —this post is loaded with psyop / cognitive manipulation techniques,

GOP China hawks, where you at? Where’s Colby, who assured us just recently that we had to sacrifice Ukraine to a genocidal invasion (in violation of treaty obligations) so we could defend Taiwan?

The former head of Taiwan’s submarine program, Huang Shu-kuang, has resigned his National Security Council position, citing family reasons. His resignation comes as the Indigenous Submarine Program meets obstacles in testing.

He argues Hong Kongers “deserve their homeland back,” yet also calls for sending them away. If the goal is to ‘help them regain their homeland, stripping them of safe haven and security here doesn’t exactly strengthen their cause—it leaves them more vulnerable to 🇨🇳pressure.
