Isle Of Bute Saint Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 (edited) No TV so watch a lot of youtube on the phone. Came across a great film documentary by British journalist written by John Pilger- Coming War On China. Having worked in many African countries was always amazed how many Chinese I seen there. Thing is where China is putting in infrastructure is extremely good. Watch the film you won't be disappointed, or maybe you will .

scottd Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 What a relief, I thought for a minute JP had snuffed it. I'm a big fan of his work and 'The Coming War on China' was up to his usual high standards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintnextlifetime Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 Obama is doing a bit of sabre rattling right now , with 3000 troops plus armour sent into Poland plus a similar deployment on the Norway/Russian border. Perhaps Trump will withdraw them again when he takes the podium. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TPAFKATS Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 The pilger doc on China was on Stv in Dec, I think I mentioned it in the TV thread at the time.Once I got over my surprise at it being on a mainstream channel, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I'm surprised it got to a main stream channel as there is so much out there we are not told or if we are told we get a fraction of the truth. I'm more than ever convinced BBC and CNN are propaganda tools. Mind you have to go through some shit stuff to find the gems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 Pilger is a superb, old school, investigative journalist. His books are also well worth a read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd think this would be quite a significant move, wouldn't you.....? 21 hours ago, Isle Of Bute Saint said: No TV so watch a lot of youtube on the phone.

The news report I saw (can't recall if it was BBC or itn) sold 3000 American troops on the Russian border as a wonderful development for Poland, even going so far as to claim that some Polish citizens had been waiting since the 1940s for this to happen.No interview with anyone actually stating this, obviously. Also no consideration as to how Russian people would take react to a foreign army mustering on its border.Post truth right enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Post truth right enough It seems to be very antagonistic to the Russians . The American reaction to Cuba over a 50 yr period showed how they felt about a communist nation 90miles away never mind Russian troops on their border. .

Post truth right enough Which brings things round to the Crimea and the fact that Ukraine being part of NATO would effectively mean a foreign aggressor mustering their naval fleet right on the doorstep of Russia.
