MESOPOTAMIA NEWS URGENTLY NEEDED : RED CARD FOR RED CHINA ! (But not via Joe Biden)
The United States and Japan Should Prepare for War with China
Jeffrey W. Hornung February 5, 2021 – WAR ON THE ROCKS – Jeffrey W. Hornung is a political scientist at the nonprofit, nonpartisan RAND Corporation.
Last week, China toughened its language against Taiwan, warning that “independence means war.” A few days prior, the Taiwanese Defense Ministry reported 15 aircraft from the Chinese air force inside its air defense identification zone. This uptick in saber-rattling suggests the military challenge posed by China will likely continue, making it one of the Biden administration’s top priorities. Unlike the Trump administration, with its transactional approach to alliances, the Biden administration may find U.S. interests can be best served through strategic engagement with its allies, on this issue as elsewhere. In particular, part of the military challenge posed by China might be answered by turning to its longtime ally Japan and firming up one of the most intrinsic aspects of the United States-Japan alliance: warfighting.

The Humiliating Art of the Woke Apology
MESOPOTAMIA NEWS CULTURE & LEFT WING TALIBAN
By RICH LOWRY February 8, 2021 6:30
NATIONAL REVIEW
There is one factor that undergirds every aspect of these confessions — fear.
When people look back at our current era of woke intolerance, perhaps the most disturbing artifact will be reporter Donald McNeil’s apology upon his ouster from the New York Times.
The reason for his abject self-abasement is a bit of a mystery. He didn’t grovel to save his job — he was getting fired regardless. Perhaps he felt he needed to make a fulsome apology with an eye to future job prospects, or maybe he believed every word.
Regardless, this sort of self-accusation is not normal . . . except for in totalitarian states and in contemporary America.
MESOPOTAMIA NEWS INTEL : Norwegian intelligence warns of new types of nuclear weapons developed by Russia
FEBRUARY 9, 2021 BY JOSEPH FITSANAKIS INTEL ORG
THE RUSSIAN MILITARY IS developing powerful new types of nuclear weapons, which cannot be contained in the framework of existing arms control treaties, according to a new report by Norwegian intelligence. The report, published on Monday by the Norwegian Intelligence Service (NIS), comes on the heels of a last-minute extension of the New START nuclear reduction treaty between the United States and Russia. On February 3, just days prior to its formal expiration, Washington and Moscow announced an emergency extension of the treaty, which will now last until February 2026.

France Sees an Existential Threat from American Campuses
Politicians and prominent intellectuals say social theories from the United States on race, gender and post-colonialism are a threat to French identity and the French republic.
By Norimitsu Onishi Feb. 9, 2021Updated THE NEW YORK TIMES
PARIS — The threat is said to be existential. It fuels secessionism. Gnaws at national unity. Abets Islamism. Attacks France’s intellectual and cultural heritage.
The threat? “Certain social science theories entirely imported from the United States,’’ said President Emmanuel Macron.
French politicians, high-profile intellectuals and journalists are warning that progressive American ideas — specifically on race, gender, post-colonialism — are undermining their society. “There’s a battle to wage against an intellectual matrix from American universities,’’ warned Mr. Macron’s education minister.
MESOPOTAMIA NEWS : THE WORLD FUTURE WILL BE RED CHINA ?
Unification & Harmony – China’s Strategy For Self, Nation, And The World
By Prof. Vera Schwarcz – MEMRI – Inquiry and Analysis No.1557
Introduction
There are many weapons in China’s arsenal for imposing autocratic control within and for seeking hegemony in the world arena. Two of the ideological tools are the concepts of “unification” and of “harmony.” Both are tooted in Confucian tradition, both are used to strengthen the Chinese Communist Party (CCPT) and the reign of President Xi Jinping. The Chinese regime has been actively promoting the traditional values of obedience to family and state for the past decade. Newspaper articles and editorials as well as publicly displayed propaganda that looks like classical poetry have reversed the attacks on “feudal Confucianism” in the late-Mao era. School children are forced to memorize the Analects (along with passages by Xi Jinping). Their textbooks contain stories about benevolent emperors and kings who unified the country at all cost.1 Behavioral reinforcement for sitting up straight, for not asking contentious questions, for giving the one correct answer to tests (even in highs school and college) reinforce the Communist Party’s claim to be heir to the best of Chinese traditional culture.
