Syria's oil has been liberated, why does AJ+ need to be such a downer about it. What's next, they're gonna say that Syrian Oil should belong to the Syrian People πŸ™„
I guess we'll have to wait for @DavidCloudLAT, the brave LA Times reporter guarding the liberated oil with @CENTCOM, to write a more pleasant piece without the distraction of poor people in the way.

As I've said before, this isn't a Trump thing, it's an America thing. Trump's problem was he said the quiet bits out loud.

The US' interest in Syria isn't about democracy & human rights, it's about oil.

You could literally have Syrians digging through garbage just outside the American guarded oil fields and America wouldn't care. Oh wait, that's exactly what's happening.

You can bet your bottom dollar that the US military would've been protecting these crops instead of burning them if they could've turned a big enough profit on it, alas, they were little use beyond potentially preventing Syrian civilians from starving.

I like how they're just directly calling them Anti-China missiles.

Great, now I, my family & kids here in Shenzhen will be surrounded by a chain of American WMD's, but China's totally the aggressive power here.

Wonder what'd happen if someone tried to put missiles in Cuba πŸ€”
When America says a country is making weapons within it's own borders, it's reason to bomb & invade their country, torture, humiliate & shit on their people, and murder their children, but America can not only make whatever they want, they can put em wherever the fuck they want.
But America is accountable & investigates these crimes I already hear you saying. Piss off, the US sanctioned not only the International Criminal Court investigators looking into American war crimes, but also their family, oh, and this lovely pardon:

During an unprecedented time in America, where attacks on Asians have increased by 867%, and even Twitter's top trending hashtag is reminding everyone that Asians are humans & @djspooky, @danieldaekim @danielwuyanzu have spoken up, one 700k sub YouTuber took a different approach
This YouTuber has decided that it's a good time to double down on his general "Chinese society is inferior" shtick, by showing images of shit and saying this is representative of the Chinese and how you evaluate Chinese society in his latest video uploaded today.
So while you have people with no platform whatsoever trying to make a difference, like Jimmy Bounphengsy, you get guys like Winston Sterzel (serpentza), deciding not only to NOT use his massive platform to help, but to further dehumanize Chinese people.

I contacted 80 MP's to come on my show to talk about the Uyghur vote, including those on the subcommittee who pushed the Xinjiang genocide vote. I was planning on having a respectful discussion, as I think many believe they're doing the right thing, but all refused or backed out. Image
I was scheduled to have an interview with an MP 16 hours from now, it had all been set up well in advance. That particular MP stood up for native rights in Canada and seemed like a pretty well intentioned guy. After presumably realizing I have concerns with the vote, he cancelled
I get it, in the absence of a complete picture, there are far more personal/professional risks to vote NO and find out later there's a genocide than there are with voting YES and figuring out it was just another WMD/Incubator Baby/etc propaganda campaign.

And thank you China for renewing her passport while she was apparently under house arrest and thank you @CNN for not running her original testimony from last year, because it's far less dramatic and interesting. ImageImageImage
I don't believe this was poor reporting/lack of basic due diligence.

I believe CNN knows exactly what they're doing & were deliberate in their actions.

They blurred out the issue date on Tursunay's passport in their video, serving only the purpose to obscure holes in her story. Image
Tursunay appeared on BBC w/her new upgraded story & BBC retweeted it more than half a dozen times in 24 hours.

If you've learned from history, when hole-filled stories become this ridiculous, coordinated & promoted, worry about what comes next, it could affect us all this time.

Hey @serpentza, quick question, why does it sound like you're ready to bust a nut when you're talking about rich Americans, but suddenly become full of hate & spite when talking about rich Chinese people and rich post-apartheid black South Africans? It's really suspicious πŸ€”.
This is an interesting one too. Winston, the China expert, doesn't know where to find culture in Beijing and uses special needs people as an insult to illustrate his distaste of their local dialect.
You've gotta imagine, if the special needs comment made it into the video above, Winston must have been saying some pretty terrible things about Tibetans for even them to censor it. Save this video for when he eventually starts talking about how much he loves Tibet & Tibetans.

The US with its allies have liberated both the oil and the people of al-Malikiyah. Thank you πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ. It's clear why you must remain the #1 global superpower, because you're such a continued force for good in this world.
Sure we got a bit off track with Trump saying the quiet bits out loud for a while there, but now we can get back to adding enough sprinkles and rainbows back in that we can start to feel good about an American dominated world again.

Distracting the world with fabricated exaggerations of real domestic problems China is focused on dealing with & who doesn't overthrow foreign governments, install dictators, fund riots, bomb innocents or steal oil, so that America can morally remain dominant is so fulfilling 🀑
