Chinese Censors Accidentally Block Shanghai Index
New submitter Vulcan195 writes "Now this is amusing in so many ways ... Today (June 4, 1989 ... i.e. 6/4/89) is the 23rd anniversary of the Tiananmen Square crackdown. Naturally, the Chinese Censors were working overtime to block anything that made remote or oblique references to that event. Well, sometime during the day the Shanghai Composite Index dropped by 64.89 points; You can guess what happened next."
Historical buildings owned by people with lots of wealth, and whom had no problems sharing that wealth with the Nazi war machine.
Valid target. Sorry.
Bullshit! Israel has had both nukes and conventional forces that could have attacked the Iranian programme for the last decade. They have chosen not to - instead giving time for diplomatic means until it is nearly too late. What the Israelis have been pointing out is that the Iranian nuclear weapon programme (for which more and more evidence getting uncovered as time goes on) is not an Israeli problem, it is in fact a threat to the whole World (which the rest of the World actually agrees with, finally). The Israelis have been making a lot of noise not because they want to start a war - it is because the US and Europeans are too damn apathetic to do anything about Iran apart from hand wringing. The Israelis don't want war, but they don't want Iran to be able to threaten them (and the Middle East, and Europe) with nukes either.
Israel is the problem with the middle east. They are the aggressors, and they have had nukes first.
They think they are the children of god, and thus being, have a "promised land" that they took originally from others. So yes, other Arab countries do NOT like them. They view them as a threat, because they took over parts of other countries and said, Fuck You, god told us to. And the USA said, Fuck ya, We love the Israels, so we back them.
Then you take the fact that America loves Oil. And being bullies, and thinking they they are in the right because they worship "God", and ya, you get them same Arabs who don't like Israel, not liking us any better. And honestly, I do NOT blame them.
America's policy used to be America's ours, rest of the world can do what it wants. And we should of stayed that way. Instead, we got it in our heads that we were better then everyone else and needed to fix the world.
And we see how that is going.
Be seeing you...
