There is no doubt that in the medium and long term, China will be a very significant global power, and this will not change anytime soon, and China will protect its interests. I accept the intelligence that has recently come from Europe and the UK, but on the other hand, China has never initiated a war in modern times.

    Been there, done that.

    You…you conquered Ireland?

    What title should I address you by? Your highness? Mr. Chairman? Supreme Leader? Grand Poobah?

      My paternal surname is of Norman origin. So yes, we did.

      My maternal surname is of Celtic origin, and they invaded the Beaker people of Ireland before that. So yes. Definitely been there, done that

            “Ask a stupid question, Grand Poobah” please and thank you. Your insolence will only be tolerated briefly during the natural adjustment period.

              Brilliant.

              The Irish have been ruled from the Vatican, London, and now Brussels. When have they not been conquered?
