Don't forget that according to the Pan-Africanist/Global South/BRICSBRO community the blockade totally wasn't working whatsoever and the situation was completely under control

So according to their logic the Junta just released 115 JNIM officials for absolutely no reason

🇷🇺🇨🇳At the 20th round of China-Russia strategic security consultation, Beijing and Moscow updated each other and coordinated on issues related to Japan.

Beijing and Moscow jointly intend to resist the revival of “Japanese militarism”

—the Chinese Foreign Ministry announced in a statement after talks between the foreign ministers of China and Russia.

Dayum

There is a lot of Chinese propaganda claiming that Japan is “militarising” but this is overstated.

–Japan’s constitution, created after World War II, includes Article 9. This article says Japan gives up the right to use war or military force to solve international disputes. No other country has a constitutional clause this strict.

And this is the core fact that neither China nor Russia touches upon.

The settlement of World War II was finalized through the Potsdam Declaration to the San Francisco Peace Treaty (SFPT).

The current China (PRC) is neither a signatory nor a ratifying state of the SFPT. Furthermore, it officially declared just the other day that it is illegal and invalid.

Russia (Soviet Union) signed but did not ratify it.

In other words, neither China nor Russia were parties to the treaty process that established the postwar order.

THEREFORE they have absolutely no standing to accuse other countries of “upholding the postwar order”. Not to mention Russian invasion.

🇷🇺🇺🇦🇰🇵Some Ukrainian children abducted by Russia were forcibly transferred to North Korea and placed in military camps, Ukrainian human rights organizations say. This was just announced at a Senate Appropriations Committee hearing.

In all my years alive I've never heard a president curse or be such an asshole to people, I just imagine if this were any Democrat, they would’ve demanded to hang them immediately but not for supreme leader Trump
