Anybody from Indonesia in here, I have some very important questions.
I've been listening to a cover of Bil Quarani Saamdi sung by Risa Solihah a thousand times in a row now and since I don't speak the language I don't know what it's about. Still normally with a song in a foreign language I can at least tell just from vibes whether it is meant to be happy or sad. But I have no idea with this one. Happy or sad? HAPPY OR SAD??
Oh and what do beautiful people like her and Ai Khodijah vote for? Who has the Sholawat vote?
And why do all Indonesian men look like the meme drawing of Ash from the Pokemon anime as a creepy adult, what's up with that.

Also Christian Karen tribe is supported in training, and weapon by ex-us marine group turn missionary(probably backed by CIA). I believe the current Myanmar was happened because Aung San Suu Kyi want to increase western influence in Myanmar in order to get rid of military instead of playing balance of power with both west, and China (and probably want to join China blockade game) despite military made one step back in 2009, so the military made the coup.

Since his own son was a 36 year old pancake seller with the only municiple post given to him was because his dad is the president.
>Now, both sides are in a “mutual hostage situation”, where Mr Widodo, known popularly as Jokowi, and PDI-P, which is chaired by former president Megawati Soekarnoputri, cannot engage in open hostilities because they both need each other for political mileage for now, said one analyst.
>“On the one hand, President Jokowi still needs PDI-P to maintain the stability of his government until the end of his term,” political analyst Yoes Kenawas from Atma Jaya University told CNA, adding how the president still needs its legislators' backing to push for various programmes, with PDI-P being the biggest party in parliament.The alliance came about because Jokowi needs his son to be VP because nepotismwhile Subianto is unpopular af and needs a boost from the widodo family cred.
Meanwhile, the PDI-P is still obstensively soekarno's daughter party, everything is still under her thumb so Jokowi doing this behind closed doors alliance is basically a betrayal of his own mentor.

It's dumb to use ethnicities and not group affiliation though considering for example the Shan who have at least two groups in open conflict with each other. You have to remember everything east of the Bamar region used to be under control of the CPB when the PRC were supporting them, so groups like the KMT holdouts would have been turfed out long ago and replaced with communists.
Although I'm not really sure what Russia and China have to do with it, pretty much nobody wants to stick their dick in the Myanmar hornet's nest and talk of a ceasefire is pretty pointless considering the Tat obviously decided to go all-in with the coup. The Wa are the PRC's besties in the border regions anyway, although I have heard the MNDAA openly recruit in China and the CPC pretend to not know about it.

>>1752883It was always inevitable that Anwar would pull any possible bullshit to benefit the unity government's UMNO wing, just like a few months ago when his AG applied for DNAA in DPM Ahmad Zahid's Akalbudi bribery case. After all, Anwar was Mahathir's DPM and heir apparent to the PM office, until he lost golden boy status during the 1997 financial crisis when he advocated for IMF free market reforms. Then it became necessary for Mahathir to silence him in order to protect the local capitalist class from Western finance capital, and sodomy was just the convenient cultural scapegoat needed for that.
All the contemporary liberal-sphere discourse about Reformasi, democratisation, anti-corruption/cronyism, etc. amounts to nothing: all that (and the shameless shenanigans for the past few electoral cycles) ultimately leads back to a pathetic 1990s era UMNO intra-party power struggle, between a slightly more protectionist faction of Malay supremacists on the one hand and a more openly neoliberal faction of Malay supremacists on the other.

Indonesia and Malaysia's electoral nonsense are exactly what I described as a weaken bourgeois democracy that many right wing parties in America and Europe want to create. A democracy where parties are less about values and ideology and more about allocating gibsmedat/patronage to specific people. This is what happens when a region that doesn't undergo bourgois democratic revolutions, leaders of the old order slowly creeping back to respectable positions of power.
This isn't just how the political parties think, but how the citizens think as well. The average Malay in Malaysia doesn't care that Anwar lets Najib get away, or whether Prabowo will deliever on his promise. All they know is that their local pillars of society (who are mostly bought by parties) support a certain politician, therefore they will too. The masses don't see democracy as a means to express themselves, but to obtain patronage from the state and the elites controlling it. The only thing worse than the rich using its class status to control democracy is using democracy to become rich.

>The accused gangster, Takeshi Ebisawa, “and his confederates showed samples of nuclear materials in Thailand” to an undercover agent from the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration who was posing as a narcotics and weapons trafficker with access to an Iranian general, prosecutors said.
>“With the assistance of Thai authorities, the nuclear samples were seized and subsequently transferred to the custody of U.S. law enforcement,” the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Manhattan said in a statement announcing a superseding indictment against Ebisawa and another man.
>“A U.S. nuclear forensic laboratory later analyzed the samples and confirmed that the samples contain uranium and weapons-grade plutonium,” the statement said.The indictment says that in September 2020, Ebisawa emailed the undercover DEA agent a letter in the name of a mining company offering to sell 50 metric tons of uranium and thorium for $6.85 million.

After visiting the country six times in seven months, King Rama 2nd's son has made a massive move. He is now working as a representative of Thailand to negotiate with Taiwanese investors to increase Taiwanese investment in Thailand(visiting Taiwan this morning with two guys from The Board of Investment of Thailand). Despite not having regained his title, he maintains a strong connection with the palace, including his aunt and grandmother?. Interestingly, he enjoys a positive public image, even among MFP voters, as most of them do not harbor disdain for monarchy as you might expect. Furthermore, he is not protected by the lese majeste law. Political experts suspect that this move could be part of a plan to position him as the next prime minister, as the Thai constitution allows political parties to select a prime minister who is not their elected representative if they want. To me, they want him to be the next good prime minister in order to restore the monarchy's reputation and divert the focus of the people from true leftism, which is rising among the youth, towards social democracy instead.
