First, the good: Boston Celtics center Enes Canter takes a stand on Tibet.
It should also be noted that the Turkish native cannot return to his homeland because of his fierce and well-supported criticisms of the tyrant there.
So, yes--he's the real deal.
Xitler's Reich responded as expected, yanking Celtics games from broadcast.
Which brings me to the bad: the best case scenario is a tepid defense of Canter. But more likely, you'll see anger from those who always take yuan--no matter how much blood you have to wring out of the bills.
Speaking of such: the bowing and scraping sell-out collared practitioners of neo-Ostpolitik (a failure, no matter what the red-friendly apologists try to say) are floating trial balloons about abandoning Taiwan.
Makes me wonder how many yuan are cycling through Vatican City at the moment.
No doubt some sold themselves too cheaply, not understanding the market.
And let me end on a final grim note:
If you don't have a "Guns of August" square on your 2020s Apocalyptic Bingo Card, get one that has it. It's just about a certainty to happen.

Be reasonably civil. Ire alloyed with reason is fine. But slagging the host gets you the banhammer.
