Both players play very well, very enjoyable for fans and that’s the WTA standard match I want to watch.

So does it mean that North Korea is banned to participate Beijing 2022? Actually many North Korean live in Beijing and they don't have to travel or quarantine, some of them can participate if granted wild card.

I think everyone in China will be allowed but I don't think tourist visas will be issued at this moment.

Chinese media quoted BBC reporting that Beijing2022 is expected with full capacity of spectators. Let me put this clear, if authority wants to promote something with controversy then mainstream media will firstly report them quoting from foreign media. If it finds that people support the decision then it will do it. If if finds people oppose it then it will said it's rumor from overseas. Chinese national games will be held from 15th Sep. to 28th Sep. with at least 50% spectators and I bought tickets already. It's also a major test event to decide if spectators will be allowed for WOG.

I guess Brazil will be scored 0-3 by FIFA.

The process of naturalization is almost finished and there is almost no public hearings or interviews. Most Chinese fans are not aware of it at all so I don't know general opinion. For me, Chinese blood players are never with problems, East and Middle Asian players are not big problems since they also partially live in China. For typical non-Asian players, I personally don't encourage the naturalization but still acceptable if the amount is not too many in the team and 3 people is still reasonable for me. Below is the Kunlun Red Star team list with nationality showed. I presumed those with Chinese nationality will participate WOG. https://en.khl.ru/clubs/kunlun/team/

Maybe just bought 3-year television rights.

Oman successfully created complexity in our group.

Trump doing U-turns is just a typical reflection of 2-party political system in US. I mean it's not a personal Trump stuff, it may apply to every GOP member. What else you may expect him to say like "Thanks my successor to fulfill my to-do list and take the blame I deserved"? Hell no. GOP will only take advantage of this chaos as an opportunity to affect midterm elections. It's just very pure politics.

Well it's kinda right that if failed to transfer the equipment to US then should destroy/bomb them. Otherwise it's a huge amount of money for Taliban sell them in black market especially something like helicopter .

Look back what I said in June 23rd. From that time on, Chinese government kept urging all citizens leaving Afghanistan and offering help to book commercial flight tickets. It even warned that everyone chose to stay should bare all responsibility so zero evacuation flights from China after the takeover. Even what US predicted is right that ex-Afghan government could persist another 90 days, it didn't necessarily mean that Western citizens and at-risk Afghans should be evacuated at last 15-30 days. Given August 31st deadline is set, all civilian evacuation should be prior of that. The withdrawal is inevitable but could be much more decent and well-ordered.

What US and some its value sharing allies don’t understand is that in poor countries with poverty what people urgently need is not freedom or democracy. They may even never think about that. What they need is food and clean water. The next step is meat, shelter and land. The next next step is money, education and healthcare. The final is step is dignity, recognition, freedom and democracy. But the west just skip all this and tell them democracy cures all and you should fight and die for it.

Very smart person. It is his decision to pull out but it is Biden to take the blame. And always say something understandable to please supporters.

I love this comedian who always suddenly say some simple common sense that other typical politicians would never say.

I am not an expert of Muslim issues. But I guess Shias Iranian will not support Sunnis Taliban. For China, we don't care who's in charge, democracy or not, we just want a stable government to do business.

Some extent of chaos is within expectation, but airplane taking off with people clinging on the surface and seeing them dropping off is totally beyond my imagination. Firstly I saw it reported by Russian media and I thought it’s fake news.

it is even more chaotic and horrifying than Saigon if the video is true.

According to KHL official website, China already neutralized 15 Asian-rooted players and another 10 local Chinese players will join the team soon. Now I will upgrade my expectation a little bit. https://en.khl.ru/clubs/kunlun/team/

TBH I don't know either for women's normal life. I guess Taliban will make some progress to please major powers to earn their recognition. I hope the progress is not just a show but normality. Anyway, the first step of normal life is that you and your beloved don't have to fear to die. If Afghan women and men could safely survive and make a living without fear of sudden explosion is already a progress towards normality and already better than Syria. Any other improvements can only be gained step by step by their own.

People think Saigon 1975 is betrayal and abandonment. But it's just from western perspective full of arrogance. For Vietnam it's the ending of war, ending of chaos. It means they don't have to pick a side to fight and die meaninglessly. They can start to focus on survival, food, education and economy instead of death for democracy, freedom, liberalism or communism. Vietnam is much better than most westerners anticipated and Saigon is a very prosperous city nowadays thanks to ending of the war. So US is not god who should be responsible for Vietnamese or Afghan's future. It isn't supposed to be there at the very beginning and have no right to help locals to choose a "democratic" government. It's better late than never of US withdrawal.

During the OG, I am just too focused on games and I censored all kinds of news from real world. But now it’s time to back to reality. It may sounds cruel but I do support US and its allies withdrawal from Afghan. An foreign forces made government is without futures. It’s fate is leaning on the extent of foreign interference. Once it’s abandoned, it’s definitely gonna be miserable. The future of Afghan should be shaped by its own people with or without violence. Well the fate of the weak is never on its own. When to enter and when to leave your country is never up to you. Good luck to Afghan people.

Have faith on yourself. You are just 100% correct.

The first "rumor" I saw is that Sapporo, Japan showed interest. But my common sense tell me it's just rumor.

Proud to see 0 "EL" in equestrian and that's my goal (maybe also theres)
