Silent Lonesome Man

India and Vietnam are being seen as the potential bulwarks against Chinese aggression, largely because of their common hatred against China. However, their political development shows that disliking against China doesn't mean they will join the same fight against Russia, a country that shares similar political structure and authoritarian tendency like China. If anything that teaches us about such an absurd case, then in some parts of the world, Russia is still being viewed as a saviour rather than an imperialist state, which is painfully true to India and Vietnam's case. This has been observed by the recent Russian invasion of Ukraine. Despite the Russian invasion stalled and faltered due to successful Ukrainian resistance, despite Russian troops' excessive display of barbarism against Ukrainian civilians, still a large portion of Vietnamese and Indians cheer the Russian invaders who are massacring civilians and supporting, loving a dictator that is threatening a nuclear wa...

When Ukraine's Active Group released their survey about how do Russians view their country's invasion of its neighbour Ukraine, the result was a massive shock: 86.6% of Russians tolerate and support the potential assault on the territory of the European Union. In addition, the other results as followed could also examine this: 75.5% of Russians approve the idea of a military invasion in the next country. Moreover, according to the survey, 75% of respondents tolerate to a varied extent the use of nuclear weapons by their government. Only 13.4% of Russians have a negative attitude to the military invasion in other countries, 46% of respondents are absolutely sure that the Russian government should attack the EU, and 40.6% assume a permissible expansion of hostilities. In the same survey, three countries that according to the poll will be targeted by Russia are: Poland (75.5%), the Baltic countries, among which Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia (41%), Bulgaria, the Czech Repu...

On 23 February 2022, Putin made a public speech , revealing himself an extremely hateful, resentful figure who did not acknowledge the independence of Ukraine, before finally launching an invasion on Ukraine. Dubbed by Putin as "special military operation", the world has been stunned by large-scale inhuman violence caused by Putin and his military gang, many nations were immediate to impose economic sanctions and boycotts toward everything made in Putin's Russia . In response, Putin has become even more aggressive, deploying nuclear missiles warning about a war against the West, referring the West " empire of lies " rather than addressing his imperialist manifesto crashing. Ultranationalist psyche of Putin's Russia has some supports, but mostly from autocratic leaders of Iran, Syria, Venezuela, Nicaragua, North Korea and Myanmar - which do not include the people of these nations. Yet, one country stands out - not just only from the leadership but even within...

In the mid of March 2021, more than thirty Chinese factories were set ablaze by unknown assailants. Shortly aftermath, the Chinese government and its embassy in Myanmar condemned the arson attacks, accusing the perpetrators of being "instigated by the West". The condemnation possibly drew into the protesters, who are actively fighting against the junta since the 1 February coup. In the end, it was mocked by many Burmese online users for its hypocrisy. Yet, the reaction of China is nothing surprising. In fact, it is revealing the true paranoia of a totalitarian regime. China, now the world's most powerful dictatorship, is facing an unwanted challenge in Myanmar. Despite its attempts to whitewash history, the protest in Myanmar makes me questioning back what is China behaving, for certain. This is definitely not the only moment we see China's grotesque propaganda methods, it also helps us to see the maniac level of the Chinese regime: a regime that is paranoid of everyt...
