Usually it will show all dispute areas in dotted lines in most countries other than India and China I guess. But it does't all represent LAC. you need to further google and wikipedia it. Extremely messy. opruh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, if you’re in India, you’re country holds the entire area; If you’re in China, likewise. However, everywhere else it shows it as a contested area. “Sport has the power to change the world.

Olympian1010 7,418 Posted June 17, 2020 #6214 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Big oof for Canada. I’m very happy for Ireland though, as they are one of the countries that contributes the most UN peacekeepers. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Vic Liu 1,558 Posted June 18, 2020 #6216 Share Posted June 18, 2020 I'm not sure how much of what Bolton said are true, but if so, it's still somehow astonishing for me. All the "-lisms", ideology, values are just bullshit, only deals and money are real stuff. What a pure businessman. For China stuff, he doesn't care about Hong Kong protests, Uyghur concentration camp, Tian'anmen massacre, all of those just chip for better deal. How dare he just say it out.

heywoodu 13,499 Posted June 18, 2020 #6217 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Eleven charges, including murder (potentially leading to the death penalty), for the officer who shot and subsequently killed a guy who resisted arrest (after failing a breath test), wrestled away a taser out of the officer's hands, ran away and then pointed the taser towards the officer and fired (but missed). The officer opened fire at that point, which one can assume can and will be seen as self defence by his lawyer (whatever one thinks of it, it is a credible explanation). So far that's a tragic turn of events which could have been prevented from both sides...and then the officer went to town on the already down and out guy, kicking him and aggressively holding him down (it's not like he was going to go anywhere at that point) If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

This is a huge issue. Buffalo PD did the same thing after those two officers were charged with assault for pushing a 75 year old peaceful protestors to the ground This is why the argument that “all cops are bad” can be made. They care more about loyalty to their “brothers”, than about loyalty to the people they’re supposed to be serving. They are all willing to protect bad cops because the police unions tell them too. They have continued to shoot unarmed civilians (though not in the case of the Atlanta officer), even after years of protest. They have continued to harass communities simply because they have the power to, and they have have downright refused any attempts at reform. This is why we must defund all police departments. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.
