Belesarius Posted October 22, 2017 Report Share Posted October 22, 2017 @Khand-e, commentary on this? On Thursday, the chief of China's securities commissions, Liu Shiyu, listed names of six "high-ranking and powerful officials, who were hugely greedy and hugely corrupt, and who plotted to usurp the party's leadership and seize state power". http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-41691917 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably gonna be a large round of purging coming when former premiers Zhu Rongji and Jiang Zemin croak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Priory_of_Sion Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 I saw a decent amount of Israeli flags being flown in Kurdistan in some accounts, but you can see the Israeli support for Kurdistan as an attempt to weaken Iran and an Iranian-aligned Iraq without too much concern for what the Kurds actually think of Jews.

Sgt.Squarehead Posted October 24, 2017 Report Share Posted October 24, 2017 OK, so I know this is Al Masdar (& thus likely not info of tip-top quality), but if there's even a grain of truth in it, surely this will leave the (now potentially hostile) Iraqi Army & PMUs looking across the border at the (US supported & largely Kurdish) SDF around Deir ez Zor: https://www.almasdarnews.com/article/iraqi-forces-gear-important-syrian-border-offensive/ How much more chaotic could this get? PS - Further thought.....Is it possible that the West's constant meddling is slowly causing the very 'Pan-Arabism' that we once sought to destroy, to remerge, stronger than ever? Might we wind up with an Islamic Caliphate after all? Possibly under a Shia banner? (Possibly even with nukes in their toolkit?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramlaen Posted October 25, 2017 Report Share Posted October 25, 2017 A third U.S. Navy aircraft carrier strike group entered the western Pacific, the Navy announced Wednesday, just days ahead of President Donald Trump’s first trip to Asia next month. Reagan, Roosevelt and now Nimitz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted October 26, 2017 Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 Do you reckon the Norks will pop a nuke while Trump's in country.....Firing a missile might be too risky, but an 'artificial earthquake' should send the message.
