Very well said.
If your self-determination requires the dispossession, displacement & replacement of another people, then it's not self-determination; it's theft, ethnic cleansing & colonisation Your freedom ends where the rights of others begin! Had they chosen an uninhabited unowned piece of land, no one would've objected. People are not objecting to "self-determination," they are objecting to past/ongoing atrocities & injustices carried out in the name of "self-determination". Not that difficult to understand, if you're not a propagandist!

Seven years ago the ban was meant to end Huawei. Last month it shipped a chip the sanctions were designed to make impossible, then today Qualcomm licensed the patents behind it. In May 2019 Washington put Huawei on the Entity List and Google pulled Android within days, then by September 2020 TSMC had stopped making Kirin altogether. Richard Yu told a conference in China that year might be the last generation of Huawei’s high-end chips, while allies were also being leaned on to rip the gear out of their networks. The charge was spying, a backdoor and a listening post disguised as a router. The evidence never appeared. An 18-month review ordered by the White House and reported by Reuters in October 2012 questioned nearly 1,000 telecom equipment buyers and found no clear evidence of spying. One individual expressed it clearly, stating they would have found it if it existed. The congressional chairman who claimed customers had watched routers send valuable data to China was quietly corrected, because the company was Leap Wireless and its own investigation found infected computers and no stolen data. Nothing since then has changed that. The trial that opened in Brooklyn on the 9th September runs on Iran sanctions, bank fraud, racketeering and trade secrets covering Cisco source code, a T-Mobile testing robot and an old Motorola file, with no espionage count anywhere on it. After seven years of bans the original accusation is still not on the charge sheet. Huawei was already the world’s largest maker of telecoms equipment and, in the second quarter of 2020, briefly the largest phone maker on earth, the first company outside Samsung and Apple to top the table in nine years. The cut-off was meant to stop it there, but it did the exact opposite. Without Android it built HarmonyOS and without TSMC it turned to SMIC and DUV multi-patterning. When the Mate 60 Pro appeared during a visit by the US commerce secretary in 2023, teardowns found a SMIC 7nm Kirin 9000s built without EUV, so Washington opened a probe. The Commerce Department’s own statement revealed the honest truth: the restrictions in place since 2019 “have knocked Huawei down and forced it to reinvent itself”. The machines came next. Chinese immersion DUV scanners are in production-line validation at domestic fabs, where Huawei’s own investment arm has put money into the domestic light source and the projection optics. When that story arrived in July, ASML lost about 44 billion dollars of market value in a single day. The architecture changed after that. On the 7th of September 2026, in Guangzhou, the Mate XT 2 shipped on the Kirin 9050 Pro, the first mass-produced phone chip built on Huawei’s Tau scaling law and LogicFolding. Instead of waiting for a smaller transistor (following Moore’s Law) it stacks logic and shortens the wire. Density goes from about 155 million to 238 million transistors per square millimetre, which is a step the older geometric treadmill needed three years to make. Multi-core performance is up 52% with the whole device 42% ahead of the previous Mate XT. The honest part is that this is still a 7nm-class chip printed on DUV with Bernstein putting it roughly 30% behind Apple’s newest, so the gap has gone from four years to three rather than to nothing. Four weeks after Guangzhou the Mate 90 series shipped. Then Monday happened. Huawei and Qualcomm announced a multi-year cross-licence covering 5G, computing, AI and networking, with Qualcomm also buying a set of Huawei’s US patents in computing, AI and networking. Bloomberg reported that the agreement reaches near- and co-packaged optics as well as the patents underpinning LogicFolding, which means the American company that used to sell Huawei its phone chips is now licensing the architecture Huawei built to navigate around the ban. Huawei first paid Qualcomm for patents in 2001 and the money ran one way for a quarter of a century. In 2020 Huawei handed Qualcomm 1.8 billion dollars in back royalties. Nikkei reported that once this agreement takes effect, Qualcomm becomes a net payer to Huawei for the first time ever. Huawei expects the total value of its patent licensing agreements to pass 6.9 billion dollars when the deal closes. It needs US regulatory approval before that happens, so Washington still holds a vote on whether the company it blacklisted can collect royalties from San Diego. Moore’s law was a manufacturing treadmill owned by whoever held the next ASML machine, while Tau is the workaround, performance by design rather than by permission. Washington spent seven years trying to keep China one node behind. Huawei answered by changing the ruler. Living here in China, the shift seems usual nowadays. HarmonyOS is on 85 million devices, tri-folds sit on restaurant tables and the chip roadmap no longer asks Cupertino or Eindhoven for the next step. A ban with no public proof of spying built a rival that no longer needs your operating system, your foundry or your scaling law, one that now licenses the patents behind its own chip architecture to San Diego. Who exactly got contained?

Ironic that people flying the flag of an apartheid state which is murdering babies, infants and children daily, are calling for democracy elsewhere. Your CIA / NED $$$ at work.
Do you remember how South Korea refused to participate in the war against Iran at Trump's request? Now, they are paying the price for it. Protests are taking place in South Korea demanding a change of president. Interestingly, the flags of Israel and the United States are present at these protests.

Israel has turned #Gaza from the world’s largest “open-air prison” into a vast, overcrowded ghetto, trapping more than two million Palestinians under a brutal double blockade. With military control extending over around 70% of the Strip and crossings tightly restricted, Palestinians are being pushed into an ever-shrinking area while access to food, water, shelter and other basic necessities is systematically controlled. More than two million people are being confined to a depleted strip of land without the basic conditions needed to survive, as the genocide continues.

That’s how settler states are created: through terrorism.
CNN will never show you this : An Israeli settler pointing a gun at a Palestinian farmer. "This land is mine now. Get out. Never come back" The farmer's family worked that land for generations. The settler flew in from Eastern Europe.

No solo encarcelan ilegalmente al fiscal general de Bolivia sino que ahora asesinan al fiscal de Ecuador que investigaba el mismo hecho: la intervención del gobierno de EEUU en la manipulación de millones de conciencias de electores latinoamericanos y el fraude electoral con algoritmos de las empresas adictas a Netanyahu.
Fiscal secuestrado en Bolivia y ahora fiscal asesinado en Ecuador, ambos ligados a intervención gringa en Latinoamérica, la operación condor 2.0 opera a plena luz del día.

The US empire has installed neocolonial puppet regimes in almost every country in Latin America. Marco Rubio's State Department published a joint declaration praising the politically motivated arrest of Bolivia's attorney general, who was investigating the crimes committed by right-wing US asset Fernando Cerimedo, who oversaw a massive operation of election meddling, bots, and disinformation in Latin America, who was deeply involved in drug trafficking, and who hired hitmen to try to kill his pregnant ex-girlfriend. This joint declaration was signed not only by the US but also by the following right-wing puppet regimes: Argentina Bolivia Chile Colombia Costa Rica Dominican Republic Ecuador El Salvador Guyana Honduras Panama Paraguay Peru Trinidad and Tobago The only remaining independent, sovereign governments in Latin America are in Brazil, Cuba, Mexico, and Nicaragua. And the US empire is waging a ferocious war against all of them.
This is absolutely insane! The US government is desperately trying to protect a drug-trafficking network of corrupt right-wing political operatives, election meddlers, and assassins in Latin America. Bolivia's attorney general was investigating the US asset Fernando Cerimedo, a criminal who hired hitmen to kill his pregnant ex-girlfriend. Cerimedo oversaw a large scheme of US-sponsored election meddling in Latin America, putting in power right-wing, pro-US politicians by rigging elections, operating countless bots, and spreading mountains of disinformation online. Cerimedo worked for pretty much all of the right-wing, pro-US leaders in Latin America, and he collaborated very closely with the Trump administration. He was given an award in Mar-a-Lago a few weeks before he was arrested, and was photographed with Donald Trump Jr. This scandal was all exposed when Cerimedo failed to assassinate his pregnant ex-girlfriend, and was subsequently arrested. She has since revealed a lot of his dirty laundry, with thorough evidence. Bolivia's attorney general has also been investigating Cerimedo for drug trafficking and money laundering. So the Trump administration got desperate to silence the Bolivian attorney general. First the US government hit him with sanctions, and now it ordered the corrupt right-wing Bolivian government to arrest him, to stop the investigation into the criminal Cerimedo. Now, in Kafkaesque fashion, the US government claims he was arrested because of supposed drug trafficking and corruption. But he was the one investigating the drug trafficking and corruption of a powerful US asset! The US government is the main protector of drug cartels in Latin America.

Here is why we now know the Flydubai story must be false. When the plane nosedived, it reached a speed of 688 mph and it’s just not designed to handle those G-forces. It should’ve fallen apart from the extreme stresses of plummeting nearly 14,300 feet in 37 seconds (about ten times the normal descent rate). That’s the opinion of an expert on CNN as well as other former pilots. Flight simulations back this claim up. Commercial pilot and flight instructor Aaron Murphy told CNN: “Some of the numbers that we’re seeing from the reporting initially don’t make sense to me. If you’re descending that rapidly, the aircraft would have disintegrated completely.” Even if the plane didn’t fall apart, people should’ve been flung around and loose items should’ve been scattered everywhere. We’d expect to see broken bones and even fatalities. Yet we did not see serious injuries (apart from the stabbed pilot) and the place was so tidy, even cups of water were still standing. How is this possible? We have footage from the dive because multiple passengers whipped out their cameras to film people screaming, but none of it shows the chaos you’d expect. Also, a little girl was in the bathroom at the time. She should’ve been flung into the walls and ceiling, but there was not a scratch on her. We’re told that the passengers walked to the cockpit during the descent. This would appear to be physically impossible. Imagine the G-forces on a rollercoaster. Now imagine it’s travelling hundreds of miles an hour. Passengers would either be floating around at that speed, or more likely thrown to the back of the plane. The plane plummeted hard over a period of about 30 seconds. Another 30 seconds and it would’ve hit the ground, but it would’ve taken less than 30 seconds to reach an unsurvivable altitude. Lower altitudes put more stress on the plane, meaning we are talking about seconds to spare. We are told the plane kept diving and stabilising over several minutes—the cockpit was entered after the hardest dive, but while the plane was still diving. This suggests the hijacker chose to stop diving so hard when the pilot was subdued, enabling the passengers to enter. That’s awfully kind of him, but any kind of dive should’ve made entry difficult-to-impossible. Here’s a crucial piece of info: the man who first broke into the cockpit and tackled the hijacker was also the man who took control of the plane. He did all of this with literally seconds to spare. It gets even more impressive when you realise he knew that flight controls are inverted. Good job he watched that Air Crash TV show. Good job that two off-duty pilots were ready to take over. Our hero met Netanyahu hours later, still wearing his bloodied clothes—only images from the plane show his shoes were different. If he changed his shoes, why didn’t he change the rest of his clothes? He showed that his socks were soaked in blood, but he was wearing his shoes on the plane and they were not soaked in blood. He wasn’t injured so the implication is this was the pilot’s blood. Why didn’t he remove his blood-soaked socks when he changed his shoes? He told Netanyahu that he got the hijacker in a chokehold while he was trying to destroy instruments. Why was he doing that if he was flying the plane into the ground? Nothing about the story makes sense. Was the captain attacked with a knife or axe? Did passengers break down the cockpit door, or did the injured pilot open it after being stabbed? The details keep shifting. Now consider that Netanyahu predicted a major event would happen the day before, and he politicised the attack immediately after. Trump is now saying that if it was Iran, we will hit them hard. This is working out awfully well for Netanyahu, isn’t it?
