China building villages on Bhutan's land - SunsetBengal - 12-13-2023 China simply building on their weaker neighbor's land, knowing full well that they are essentially powerless to do much of anything about it. Anyone else see this as a potentially dangerous situation? https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/satellite-images-show-china-building-houses-on-neighbor-s-territory/ar-AA1lrFGU?ocid=msedgntp&cvid=b50a134f62984490ade5ecba141df64d&ei=185 Quote:Satellite photographs this month provided some of the clearest views of China's massive construction project within the borders of neighboring Bhutan, the tiny Himalayan kingdom with which Beijing is trying to negotiate a major land deal.

Anyone else see this as a potentially dangerous situation? I don't know if Bhutan is "powerless" given its status as "protected land" under India. But yes, there is danger of conflict between Indian and China here, if Thingphu is swapping land for security, or being pressured to. Herez a map of the disputed regions. https://www.chathamhouse.org/publications/the-world-today/2023-12/china-takes-more-land-bhutan-expected-border-deal RE: China building villages on Bhutan's land - Luvnit2 - 12-13-2023 (12-13-2023, 02:04 PM)SunsetBengal Wrote: China simply building on their weaker neighbor's land, knowing full well that they are essentially powerless to do much of anything about it. Anyone else see this as a potentially dangerous situation? Yes, it is a problem. The issue the US faces is we can't be involved in every border war or land grab. I think Russia, Iran and China have a plan and it involves stripping the US of military and monetary resources thus weakening us.

If Trump is elected, then Russian and China could expect the US to voluntarily reduce its international footprint, leaving them to fill the the vacuum wherever. Starting with Ukraine.

So you don't want in-depth, sourced answers from Dill...and you don't want short to the point answers Dill. I'm starting to think you just don't want to read what Dill has to say if it disagrees with you. That sounds familiar. But he's right. He will continue to buddy-buddy with Putin and Putin and China (which owns a lot of P01135809 business) will be allowed to do whatever they want.

If DJT somehow manages to get elected POTUS again, you're going to have to get someone videoing you running around the house screaming Jumanji!

Except he can't do anything to hurt me. I'm a middle aged, white, Christian male. I just have concerns that the guy who was a complete ****up the first time and has promised to get revenge on everyone *might* not be the best choice this time.

Trump uses many words and says a whole lot of nothing too.

And many people use lots of words and say a lot of something. See? Some people have backgrounds where they want to be clear and provide as much supporting evidence as they can. Some want few words because they don't want to have the discussion and/or do the work to back their own opinions. |
