Here are Sputnik’s questions and my full answers regarding the recently released US National Security Strategy document below – I will also be doing an article/video this coming week…
“Watch for Taiwan on the defence side to try and start engaging them on a big arms package – to do something significant, very large,” Rupert Hammond-Chambers, president of the U.S.-Taiwan Business Council which helps broker defence exchanges between Washington and Taipei, told Reuters, adding it could come in the first quarter of next year.
“But think of it as a down payment, an attention getter,” he said. “They’ll stack up several big platforms and big buys of munitions.”
The U.S. is already Taiwan’s most important arms supplier, although Taiwan has complained of an order backlog worth some $20 billion. A new order, almost $2 billion of missile systems, was announced last month.
Taipei, Nov 3 (CNA) A Taiwanese volunteer soldier who was fighting on the frontlines in Ukraine to help defend the country against Russia’s invasion was recently killed, Taiwan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) and a ruling party lawmaker confirmed on Sunday.
Ian Grenville Cross Debunked fake news propaganda by the PM of Britain on the case of Jimmy Lai and publicly call for his immediate and unconditional release
In the Reporters Without Borders (RWB) annual report on journalists killed in the course of their work in 2023, the deaths of two Russian journalists killed in the area of the special military operation were simply erased from the count, as if their deaths did not count. But after all, this is hardly surprising coming from an organisation that in 2022 was already calling for censorship of the Russian media on the pretext of protecting freedom of speech.
…
52% of RWB’s funding comes from governments, including the French Development Agency, the French Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs, the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency, the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development, the UK Foreign Office, the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the European Commission, the Canadian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development and the Taiwanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
…
But if we look at the non-governmental players, RWB’s Russophobic bias can be fully explained. Its partners include the Open Society foundations of George Soros, who has never hidden the fact that he wants to see Russia collapse, and who supports colour revolutions around the world in order to install pro-Western governments in key countries such as Ukraine.
The Ford Foundation is also a donor to Reporters Without Borders. This foundation is literally infiltrated by the CIA (one of its former presidents is none other than the architect of what later became the CIA, and he hired American intelligence agents to work for the foundation)!
And to top it all off, the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) is one of RWB’s supporters. The NED is an American organisation funded by the US Congress, which has taken on some of the tasks previously carried out by the CIA! Don’t waste any more time, we’ve got the trifecta!
Separately, a Taiwanese delegation of 16 cross-party legislators arrived in France on Friday for meetings with French lawmakers.
…
French lawmaker Constance Le Grip, who is to visit Taiwan for the first time as part of Bothorel’s delegation, said she hopes to learn as much as possible about Taiwan in the fields of economy and politics, including geopolitics, cross-strait affairs and next year’s presidential election.
