  • the big irony is: The UK was holding with HK a private container-shipping entry-point in china. Chinas comeback 100 years later will be holding a container-shipping island in europe named “UK”. They would love to ship all their stuff next to europe and offer 3 day shipping to everyone in europe. And the UK is the island they gonna need for that. Russia and China put a wedge into the brains of 20% (30% were already lost/tories/racist/uneducated) of UK voters by letting people vote themself out of the EU and make it available for desperate contracts. The modern internet made it possible to confront everyone with its own fears via targeted ads. You are afraid of foreigners? Well, they will all come to your country! You are a racist? Well, there are million others, you should feel proud of yourself! You are anxious about sea-rights for shipping? Well the EU is gonna take it away from you… and so on.

    The weakest people think from the wall to the kitchen. Maybe from the house to the end of the street. But they will never understand international relations or foreign affairs. They are easy target. Too stupid to notice, too stupid to fight back. And the best thing is: you only need 51% to take full control. China and Russia knows this. They know the weakness of democracies and deliberately act on these weaknesses.









  • Trump was a wakeup call for me back then. As a teenager in the 90s I always thought that the US has a robust democratic system with a strong militaristic core/underbelly/deepstate that would never compromise the stand of the US. I thought that some three letter agency would always have a plan for everything already drawn up and that action behind the scenes would be taken to ensure the stability and actionability of the states by always being one step ahead of the adversary. For the first Trump year I thought it would be a controlled trick of one of the agencies to trick china/russia into a trap. It must be. The US killed people in other countries around the world to make the US get out on top. No way that bought ads on Facebook can get unrecognized by these agencies to subvert millions.

    My worldview about the US today is absolutely shattered. I do not believe that any three letter agency in the US is capable of steering or controlling anything. That Russia and China are able to influence so many people without any agency confronting these efforts was a wake up call for me. And that there is a chance that trump might have a second term is downright devastating for my assurance in the US. As a child I thought about moving to the US one day. I would have taken the risk of getting shot or struggling with bad healthcare. But now that the believe in the protective stable leading system is gone… what is left? Unleashed capitalism and rampant racism? I can find this everywhere in the world.

    My personal american dream is long over.


  • I can only see three incidents with 787 on wikipedia:

    • 2013 Boeing 787 Dreamliner grounding
    • 2024 TCAS incident over Somalia
    • LATAM Airlines Flight 800

    This does not looks like a repeating pattern. The Flight 800 was a 300ft drop midair with around 30 to 40 people hitting the ceiling of the cabin and landing in Auckland without further problems. This does not sound 787 related. Just keep your seatbelts on.

    The 2024 TCAS incident reads like a near collision based on miscommunication by air traffic control. Not related to the 787 series.

    And well the 2013 787 grounding was based on lithium-ion batteries problems and has now been fixed (?).

    I would say relax and keep your seatbelts buckled (disregarding what airframe you are on).
