Xi repeatedly refers to the reinunification of China with Taiwan and it is a way to keep the military fit and prepared it seems. However, if China occupies and integrates Taiwan I suspect that it will be peaceful like it was with Hong Kong. Maybe it will take place a very long time from now. I suspect that they are waiting for the US Empire to crumble and see a lot of imperial retreat from its 300-odd international military bases. I went there before, Taiwan is like Japan in terms of living standards and also they are basically Chinese people from South-China.
It appears that US behavior towards Israel largely stems from : 1. AIPAC (2nd biggest lobby $$ in the US), Trump is corrupted by pro-Israel donors, both Christian and Jewish. One of them paid him $90 million for the Trump campaign. 2. Fundamentalist/Evangelical Christians that identify with Christian Zionism and the second coming of Jesus Christ. This means that Israel must be protected and expanded at all costs. Politicians, Pentagon, US MIC, Genocidal Warmongers, Oil & Gas- they see Israel as a unsinkable aircraft carrier to project US interests in the region and they intend to drain the middle east of oil before draining America of its reserves. Also by threatening Regime change and mass murder they can protect the trade routes that go through it. Overall it appears that the US is gearing towards a war with Iran. I think definitely the US will continue to support Israel although like you say maybe less as the old people disappear.
It is kind of awkward seeing the restaurant staff give an 'influencer' special treatment- but this guy completely trashes the restaurant and they don't know it lol
The Boss from MGS3/MGSD character model is based on this actress: Charlotte Rampling
The main character is what Chinese people would universally consider attractive, but not what all western audiences would like. Her physique is too dainty and eyes are too small for me. They could have changed her appearance to someone who can appeal to both sides.
Wuchang is a really good Souls-like game. But it came out way too late and is also janky/with glitches. If this game came out at the same time as Sekiro it would give FROMSOFT some competition and headaches. It is about 6 yrs too late and Elden Ring outclasses it.
