China’s BRI Could Save Destroyed Southeast Asia
Most of the people in the West or in North Asia usually never think about it, but Southeast Asia is one of the most depressed and depressing parts of the world.

Women We Are Fighting For
There are stories that are unrelated to the news, but can explain much better than many combat reports, why people like me are fighting against the Empire and imperialism, with such determination and vehemence.

US Puppet Wants Help Making Thailand Like America
The US is involved in regime change worldwide – from Venezuela in South America, to Ukraine in Eastern Europe, to Syria in the Middle East, to Afghanistan in Central Asia. But these headline-grabbing wars, coups, color revolutions, and interventions are far from the full extend of US interference. The US is also engaged in regime […]

The Evolution of the US-China Face-off in the South China Sea
Today, the realities of the South China Sea have changed so drastically that we’re dealing with a whole new reality that is nothing like what we used to analyse or discuss. The tensions within this region were purely local in their nature and concerned China and its immediate neighbors, but now it’s obvious that they have evolved […]
