The West nourished these monsters

The birth of the CCP was the result of an evolving world situation, and the might of the CCP has been contributed to substantially by the incomprehensible fatuousness and ultimately, the incompetence, of the world's leader - the United States.

If it can be said that a flapping of a butterfly wing in an Amazon forest can cause a storm in Texas, then certainly a gunshot in Sarajevo in 1914 can (and did) lead to the rise of communism in China.

Truman intentionally or unintentionally assisted the CCP to wage and win the civil war that resulted in Tibet losing its statehood, Korean War, and the Vietnam War. Nixon came to rescue the CCP from the Soviet nuclear attack, and the CCP was able to continue its life. How the tables turn!

Bush acquiesced to Deng Xiaoping's Tiananmen massacre, insofar as not holding perpetrators fully accountable, and the CCP escaped the collapse of communism in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. Clinton introduced the CCP into the WTO, and the CCP became rich and powerful, now well-equipped to pose a threat to the entire world.

The Russian-Ukrainian war has kicked off changes in the world structure, and the post-WWII peace for nearly 80 years may come to an end. The tectonic plates of power are shifting. Effects will be deeply felt. The future evolution will be kaleidoscopic, dizzying in its swift process and possibly chaotic in its fall-out. The cloud of a third world war is looming nearer. Putin makes the possibility of pressing the nuclear button a conceivable eventuality, after his shameful loss of face (in succumbing to the temptation to invade - an act followed by foreseeable messiness). Any allusion to the use of nuclear weaponry is highly disturbing saber-rattling. A nuclear war is simply the worst of the worst.

There can be no winners. If the event goes in another direction (ie towards peace and the common global good), then the war may cure the blindness, the numbness and the pollyanna-style stupidity of world leaders. We may see the further decline of Russia after a massive military failure. And the bigger evil, the CCP, having so ostentatiously cozied up to Russia, will become isolated, cornered, and embattled. This could well trigger the collapse of the CCP.

Here lies a golden political opportunity for Tibet to achieve its goal of meaningful autonomy and regain statehood. It also represents an opportunity for the Chinese democracy movement.

Russia is a friend to India, and China is an adversary to India. India's role and positioning is in difficulty. India is caught between the devil and the deep blue sea.

It is clear, however, that Moscow and Beijing had intricate negotiations before the war in the Ukraine broke out.

On the eve of the Beijing Winter Olympics, Putin and Xi Jinping met in Beijing. Xi's China is throwing an economic lifeline and strategic cover to Putin's Russia.

This is no surprise: both Xi and Putin made their intentions clear on February 4, 2022, in Beijing, declaring "no forbidden areas of cooperation".

Two evil forces have formed an alliance to advance and retreat in unison to jointly and severally run rings around a weak, hypocritical, and morally subverted White House.

The back-to-back tacit alliance of the two, (Russia and China), has already formed itself into a new axis of power. They will no doubt cooperate again to reshape the world according to their will.

Or not. Is there ever honour amongst thieves? Whilst it suits both of them, it will endure.

Despite their overall strength being weaker than that of NATO and the West, they dare to fight, estimating and gambling upon the West's fear of causing a nuclear war and nobbling itself from acting decisively. Russia is acting first in Ukraine, and all are observing what the White House, NATO and the West do in response to Putin.

If the West dares to confront Putin head-on, that could trigger a large-scale, highly destructive war. The high-tech deadly weaponry available now leaves behind the destructive capabilities of the past, bad as they were.

One is reminded of Einstein's ominous warning about combat weapons of the Fourth World War - sticks and stones. If the United States and the West demonstrate their cowardliness by retreating, this could only encourage the Chinese Communist Party, Xi Jinping, to stage a similar military adventure in the Taiwan Strait.

Now that the world media has lost its objectivity and impartiality, we cannot just rely on what the mainstream media tells us to believe. We also need to use our own analysis and judgment, to avoid being misled by the false information of a manipulated media.

An abandonment of acknowledgment of the significance of a moral culture, and the importance of it being handed down over generations, has led to a world in moral chaos. We are seeing the fruits of this disdainful ignorance. The tyranny of the East is evil, and yet the democracies of the West are also highly lacking in ethics and justice.

During the recent 2020 U.S. presidential election and the current Russian-Ukrainian war, a cautious and prudent public perceive, with their own eyes and ears, the mainstream media deliberately distort basic facts and spread disinformation to cover up and whitewash the cowardice and sinister motives of superficial, transactional representatives of Western democracies.

The world today is this, dark, evil, cowardliness, and righteousness coexist. We are in uncertain times, with unpredictable prospects.

There are at least three (if not four, if Islam is included) principal power blocs in the world. At present, two of them are at loggerheads - The West and Russia. A third leading power bloc (China) is watching as those other two ruin each other. The world will rue the day if it allows China, run by a merciless CCP, to become the leading power bloc in the globe.

The world will either be reborn from the ashes, or it will be destroyed, if the Russia-Ukraine War is not stopped. At once.
