The Political Cowardice of The West

The Reds, the Communists, the Dictatorial bunch who still rule through either terror, AK-47s, or Stasi tactics are getting away with their illegal actions, on a truly massive scale. From the invasion and annexation of parts of Georgia after the five day War by Russia, which was followed by the invasion and annexation of Ukraine’s Crimea and the Donbass region, to the backup and political leverage handed to Belarus after the hijack of a Ryanair plane, the pattern has always been the same. 

The Communists do exactly as they desire; and all that the West provides are words. Sanctions? What  use are sanctions, when all they do is inconvenience the populations held under force by the Reds?

Remember Tibet? That beautiful, remote Country which was so peaceful that it did not even have a standing Army, or even a volunteer Defence Force? That peaceful Nation was invaded by the Communist Chinese Armies in 1951, and what did the rest of the World do in response? Sweet F**k All! The ONLY good thing which emerged from the Chinese invasion was the emergence on to the World Stage of the ONLY man who, in mine own opinion, is worthy of the title ‘Holy’. 

I refer of course to his Holiness the Dalai Llama. As I asked before, what did we hear from the ‘Liberal’ West? Nothing, nothing at all. They have even been edited out of existence by Google, as their Maps just show an area inside China labelled Tibet, and f**k all more.

So why am I writing this short diatribe? Because of a list of Olympic medals being won at the deserted Japanese stadium and sports fields. Not being any sort of a sporting fan myself, I was just curious to check all the headlines about the ‘haul’ of medals won and expected by the GB team. 

But my gaze went past the ‘usual suspects’, the flags of USA, China, the Japanese host nation along with the farcical addition of the Russian Olympic Committee bunch (ROC) flag which the IOC allowed to compete out of sheer cowardice. But my gaze travelled down, and discovered the existence of a whole nation unknown to anyone. Yep, at 17th place in the medals table, this nation is called, by the International Olympic Committee, Chinese Taipei.

So where do you reckon this unknown nation is sited? Is it in the Atlantic Ocean, or the Pacific Ocean? Is it near to Hawaii? Is it, because of its name, part of Communist China? Nope, folks, none of these things. Because of America’s cowardice, because the rest of this cowardly world just doesn’t want to either upset Red China or just doesn’t want to make waves, a whole Independent Nation has to be renamed. Because Red China insists, Taiwan is never actually acknowledged. 

A whole, truly democratic Nation has to travel under false pretences because a bunch of geriatric dictators, with the backing of nuclear weaponry and the largest standing army in the world, says so, Taiwan doesn’t actually exist! I really wish that the Republic of China; a.k.a  Chinese Taipei would win a great many more medals, and then show  the world that they not only exist; they show that Democracy can beat out Communism every time!
