Wow so Australia and America don't want China to build a Military base that close, I thought America and the west said every Country has a right to choose what they want..lol.
Funny thing is when the Solomon Islands agreed to this they explicity said that their neighbors should respect their independent sovereign right to do so 🤣
Isn’t this the same thing that the USA is saying is ok for NATO to do in Ukraine? If Ukraine as a sovereign state can align with NATO, why can’t Solomon Islands do the same with China?
They cant because it's not in Western interest. Notice how they invaded and attacked half the middle east but not one single sanction was ever imposed to them? 🤣 Imagine when they invaded Iraq and killed half a million civilians. The their justification for the war the WMDs did not exist. And get away completely without even apologizing for the damage they caused.
1. USA has most number of military bases across the world. But it has problem when others built it. 2. USA has most number of nuclear weapons But it has problems when others make it. 3. USA has waged most number of wars in other countries But it has problem when others do it. 4. USA is the most CO2 producing nation per capita But it will lecture developing nations to stop pollution.
When Russia was saying that their security is being threatened if UKRAINE would be member of NATO, US and its allies says it's Ukraines choice as a sovereign nation but not ok with Solomon islands?
Australia called Africa. Some thing. Oh it was about Solamen. Island they said it would be crawling with no it was about Africa that group that want a military he great it will be like black Chinese. If they get a military. It was Morrison. wonder how he really said it
US and Australia:If NATO wants to build a base right next to the Russian border that's their right as sovereign nations. China:So can I have a security arrangement 2000 km away from Australia? US and Australia: Wait. That's illegal.
So I ask this question how different is THE US concerns from Russia. At least Russia shares a boarder with ukrain. How close is the US to Solomon islands?
Dude you don't have to look too far, just look at Cuba. What CIA, Pentagon did there and continue to do till date. This North American country has done more invasion than any other country on earth, there is a whole wiki page on it so ideally both Russia and America are quite the same, it's just Ukraine got more media coverage so the world has seen the horrific videos and pictures otherwise the same thing happened in many countries around the world in various invasions by the North American country but no-one give a shit at that point in time.

NATO wants to build bases close to the border with Russia - the United States and Australia believe that everything is fine, Russia has no reason to worry...

Australia and New Zealand had similar security cooperation agreement with Solomon Islands, why does Solomon Islands need another security pact with China? When Australia came to Solomon's help to deal with the riots in 2021, Australia's intervention was selective. The scope of protection was limited to non-Chinese businesses. Looters could continue to assault the Chinese businesses and were let go. Bearing in mind that the riots took place in a "Chinese" street, and mainly Chinese businesses were targeted, the purpose of Australia's intervention was pretty much to make sure the criminals could get away safe and sound. In these circumstances, it's necessary for the Solomon Islands to seek help from China for the protection of the Chinese community. Australia's security pack with Solomon is more like a pass to come in to destabilize the country anytime anyway they wanted and the Solomon can't do anything about it for lack of means. Back in 2018, Australia signed an agreement with the Solomon Islands, the content of which is almost identical to the content of the recent agreement between China and the Solomon Islands! The Western bloc is fine with Australia signing a security agreement with Solomon Islands, but are upset when China signs the same agreement with legitimate motives. Since Australia's security agreement doesn't include the Chinese community and Chinese businesses, it's perfectly reasonable for the Solomon to bring in China to provide security guarantee to all communities. The China-Solomon Islands police agreement stipulates that China can use police and military forces to protect the safety of Chinese personnel in case of riots in Solomon Islands, and China will also have a naval base in Solomon to facilitate ship visits, logistical supplies, stopovers and transit; and Solomon Islands can request China to send police, armed police, military personnel and other law enforcement and military forces to Solomon according to its own needs. The purpose of the agreement is to help Solomon maintain social order to protect the lives and property of all the people. In November 2021, widespread riots broke out in Honiara, the capital of Solomon Islands, resulting in four deaths, as well as over $200 million in damages, and the looting of Chinatown stores in the capital. Needless to say, it was Australia and other Western powers that were behind the riots targeting Chinese businesses. Then under false pretenses, Australia sent 100 military police to maintain order resulting in the successful escape of the saboteurs. Solomon realized the real purpose of Australia's aid is to control and dominate the Solomon Islands. Aussies have no intention to provide security guarantee or to help the Solomon develop the economy. That is why Solomon is willing to sign this policing agreement with the China! Next time when the Aussies and Americans incite riots to achieve their geopolitical goals, China can come in to stop them. US/Nato have been training/backing the Azov battalion to kill ethnic Russians of Ukraine since 2014. Same pattern in the Solomon Islands, ie, inciting financing the opposition to target the Chinese community. It's an open invitation for China to intervene.
Excellent observation. It is rather odd but it is consistent with most observations that where you have US, UK, Aust, Canada govts involved, you can expect there to be chaos, riots, coups, and so on. I wonder why? What could they possible have in common with each other?
I see Hypocrisy If USA Respect Sovereignty and Freedom of Ukraine thn they Should also Respect Solomon Island Sovereignty and Freedom of Choice. I agree that Military base of NATO in Ukraine and China in Solomon Islands are not acceptable. Whatsoever It's a Direct Threat for RUSSIA and Australia Respectively.
@Fulando Mcclarin yes , India Is Not Ukraine. 2nd Forcing Russia Towards China Is Even Worse. Russia Should have Open Channel If Russia Completely Became Dependent On China Thn Asia Politics is Over. USA and Europe can't do anything From Other Side of Globe.
NATO consists of European countries + US NATO is not building bases thousands of km from the mainland. Also Ukraine was not talking about joining NATO for a while and suddenly Russia had to invade And Ukraine is right next to NATO unlike Solomon islands and China
Then what about military bases in Phillippines, Guam, Japan, South Korea etc. Maybe you want to do some research and find out where and how many overseas military bases the US have all over the world. What about NATO itself? Is it OK for US to have any military bases in Europe?

With Apologies. Of course there are 'double standards' Ian. Those of us in the 'West' seek only to protect our own interests and influence over other countries/Nations. The Chinese , in particular , are outright liars when it comes to any sort of diplomacy. They will put the Solomon Islanders in a position where they will be unable to prevent a military base being set up there (normally by the expedient of exporting debt to the Islands who will then find it is unable to 'repay').You can make that list of yours as long as you like but if you think the American/European Allies give a tinkers curse about yours or any one else's outrage over previous wars/invasions/military operations (covert or otherwise), you are very much mistaken. The 'West' views China ,and Russia ,in particular, as Evil Empires and no moralistic hand wringing and finger pointing will alter that perception. Its a divided Planet, pick your side. Sorry to be such a pessimist but 80 years of watching (often in despair) The Human Race's lemming like rush to the Cliffs Edge has left me ...well...in despair.
US is convinced that China would built a military base in the Solomon Islands, are the US convinced about this the same way they were convinced that Iraq had bio weapons?
To be more accurate, the US was saying Iraq has weapons of mass destruction, couldn’t even say what kind of weapon, just WMD, trust us, we are the CIA and we know what you don’t know, we are starting a war with LIES but the whole world will believe us and no one can do shit even when they know we are lying. Sounds familiar ?
@mark Rockerz It's bio. The bottle of white powder Colin Powell held up in the UN is suppose to represent Anthrax. He was saying how many people he can kill with that small bottle alone. Nuclear weapons may be hinted at, but he had no evidence,. The evidence he claimed was Anthrax.
Clown. Have a look at he South China Sea. Little islands popping up all over the place with landing strips. And what do you think they have been built for? Something friendly you think?lol.
The war in Ukraine is tragic but the us and NATO is extremely bias and proven to be more of a narcistic bully. In fact they are also to be blamed for the war in Ukraine. There is always two sides to a story. Why should Australia prepare for war with just talks of security when NATO is doing way more to deceptively control territories.
You know the Western hegemony ends with a bloc called C.R.A.N.K. CHINA RUSSIA ATOMIC NORTH KOREA that are kicking up with hypersonics and got the U.S.A. shook... but like you said if the U.S. did NOT expand NATO to pose an existential threat to Russia this war would be a moot point... For all the experts what happened in the Cuban missile crisis the United States demanded those missiles out of Cuba and we were serious ... this is exactly what's playing out presently with Russia and NATO... This is a proxy war with the United States against Russia in the country of Ukraine
China is surly entitled to have Military bases anywhere, just like the US which has 700+ Military bases world wide. If a Chinese Military base on the Solomon Islands too close for Australia, (900+km) then what about several NATO bases right on Russia,s border ?? Different yard stick?
Who the hell trusts communist China when they want to destroy the US and Democracy remember when China said they would not demilitarize the SCS and they were only using the islands for tourists?
Its allowed as Solomon's can choose their allies, just as Ukraine can choose its allies..... countries can complain, that's allowed too... what is not allowed is invading a sovereign nation. There are red lines
@@ukchatman4920 Are you deaf you didn't hear the news us threatened china with military action if it opened its base in soloman islands.. It's same as Ukraine..
The correct distance between Solomon Islands and Australia is 3,280 km and this will be the 2nd military base for China. What is there for U.S. to be so afraid of China having one or two bases when U.S. has more than 700 military bases all over the world. If U.S. can have 700 bases, surely China is justified to have a few bases here and there.
Wait a minute, these are not the same people who in the Ukraine/Russia case said that: “as a matter of principle”, they “do not accept that any third country has the right to veto security agreements that a sovereign country can make” ? 🤔
I thought the US, UK and Australia only spread peace, freedom and democracy around the world? I'm curious how they will sell a coup in the Solomons or an invasion. Note that the Solomons are thousands of miles away from Australia, let alone the US or UK, yet they feel threatened.
China should go ahead and build its military base if the Host country gives its consent. Who cares what The West warmongers think,why threatening war to a country miles away from their borders. The lies should go and have a good Nap,only dwindling power acts childish,lies, and throw tantrums when they don't have things their way.
Just got back from 2months in Solomon Islands, and I was told by the people they rioted because Chinese businesses pushing out the locals and invading there fishing grounds, the Solomon island premier was about to get kicked out of office by the people so he called in the Chinese to protect him, but Australian troops and police went in and settled things without one shot being fired. China is training the Solomon police and signed a security deal with China and tried to hide it. China now has a legitimate reason to have their military and spy ships and fishing fleets in the region and they will also take everything from the fishing grounds which the Solomon Islands live off.
The US is thousands of miles away from the Solomon Islands while China is its neighbor. Why doesn't the US mind its own business. The Solomon Islands are an independent, sovereign state and they have a right to sign a security deal with whomever they want. Aster all, this is the main argument of the US and NATO in the stand-off with Russia over Ukraine. So these threats by the US against an independent sovereign state is a direct attack on the Solomon's island's independence and sovereignty and a flagrant breach of international law.
Solomon Island is a sovereign nation like Ukraine and able to make decision like what NATO established military base in Ukraine so what is the difference?
We make the West run for their money while Indians can't even defend itself from Western criticism of its human rights? Doesn't speak a lot about superpower wannabe India does it?

Also didn't your parents teach you anything.. two wrongs do not make a wright and if someone else does something wrong.. YOU AREN'T SMART FOR COPYING THEM..
OMG these hypocrites! I was wondering this very same thing if the US was in Russia's situation what would they have done? The Solomon Islands and the US dont share a border and they're open to using military to get their way.
If Austrialia and America is prepared for war in Solomon island, than they are sending a clear message of what Putin did to Urkarine is perfectly justified. At this point, I hate to say it, but I am beginning to love and support Putin and Russia now.
I am in the same boat, never in a million years did I think I would actually support commie China or dictatorial Russia, but right now the west is the single most threatening force in the world. What the west have done, are going and heading will only hasten our demise as global hegemon, we have collectively lost the respect of the world, we have become chief sponsors of global terrorism....and sad to say, we (the west) are ALL complicit.
There is no difference between the situation of Ukraine and Solomon Island. It's just the western perception, they see things from different glasses. It makes me firmed about Russian military actions against Ukraine!!

USA or Australia should understand that Solomon Islands is a Sovereign Independent country. USA, Australia nor any other country has authority or rule over any other country in this world. Solomon Islands or any other country has the universal sovereign right to sign trade relations or security pack of their own wish with other country. They should not be dictated or suppressed. Your political or regional issues should not be brought to a sovereign country's territory and cause problem for them. Please respect the sovereignty of a country. Don't put threats or disturb Solomon Islands.
So no country can establish relationship with China? And Blinken declared Ukraine has a right to have relationship with whomever it wishes. Solomon wants diplomatic relationship with China and US is going berserk? Isn't it super hypocritical? You don't notice this?
Is this the same reason Russia is attacking Solomon Islands? It's not even nuclear arms in Solomon Islands, just small base where few soldiers deployed. For Russia NATO was planning to put nuclear arms at Russia's border. Hypocrisy at its peak
How desperate is Australia to stop China from constructing military base in Solomon, that's how Russia is feeling right now. Russia doesn't want NATO base in it's neighbouring country. If Ukraine has a right to choose then Solomon also has that right. Double standards will backfire.

Well the US politicians have historically been hostile toward Russia. There's even a joke going around that the popular phrase "A dog ate my homework" has been replaced with "Russia did it" 😂 Given the political hostility between the two prior to the war I agree completely with Russia's security concerns especiially since the non-proliferation treaty was destroyed by Trump. Because that treaty disallowed both nations to place nuclear weapons near one another. With the destruction of the treaty and if Ukraine joins NATO. The US could basically place nuclear missiles 300km from Moscow.
Western Countries: Small nations like Ukraine have right to have military relationship with any country. Solomon Islands: then, we choose to have military relationship with PRC. Western Countries: 😡🤬👹👺🤺🏇

Solomon Islands is a wake-up call. US closed Embassy in 1993, shows SI is irrelevant to US interests. Australia, a neighbouring country neglected these poor island nation, and who cares how these Islanders fared as long as Australia is prosperous. Only China cared to go there. SI have the sovereign right to make independent choice of who they interact with. US/Au superiority complex now want to force change, ignoring SI sovereignty.

But zelensky is a hero according to them and everyone should support him for wanting to join NATO but Solomon's island is not supposed to sign a deal on their own. We shall also supply them with weapons if Australia attacks them and put Australia under sanctions as they put Russia and pledge more arms to for them to defend themselves against a bully like Australia as it is also done in Ukrain.
😲 if they did attack or do special military action in Solomon just as they are tilting to the Chinese then there won't be a difference between russia and the west. Hypocrisy becomes evident and intolerable. If they have problem with China go and solve it with China not attacking this small island.

I grew up in the Solomon's in the 60's and I can tell you now that the islanders don't like it one bit. I think this is a deal cut between Sogavare and China.

When Russia was saying that their security is being threatened if UKRAINE would be member of NATO, US and its allies says it's Ukraines choice as a sovereign nation but not ok with Solomon islands?
You nailed it. Heads I win tails you lose. That’s US led NATO
It is so unfortunate. The world is lacking wise men.

Interesting. Chinese bases near Australia are a problem, but NATO bases 300 miles from Moscow are of course not a problem....

China wants to build military bases in the Solomon Islands, away from the mainland - the United States, Australia are sounding the alarm and preparing for war.
NATO wants to build bases close to the border with Russia - the United States and Australia believe that everything is fine, Russia has no reason to worry...

They should strike a deal to disband AUKUS in exchange for Chinese leaving Solomon Islands alone.
Australia and New Zealand had similar security cooperation agreement with Solomon Islands, why does Solomon Islands need another security pact with China?
When Australia came to Solomon's help to deal with the riots in 2021, Australia's intervention was selective.
The scope of protection was limited to non-Chinese businesses. Looters could continue to assault the Chinese businesses and were let go.
Bearing in mind that the riots took place in a "Chinese" street, and mainly Chinese businesses were targeted, the purpose of Australia's intervention was pretty much to make sure the criminals could get away safe and sound.
In these circumstances, it's necessary for the Solomon Islands to seek help from China for the protection of the Chinese community.
Australia's security pack with Solomon is more like a pass to come in to destabilize the country anytime anyway they wanted and the Solomon can't do anything about it for lack of means.
Back in 2018, Australia signed an agreement with the Solomon Islands, the content of which is almost identical to the content of the recent agreement between China and the Solomon Islands!
The Western bloc is fine with Australia signing a security agreement with Solomon Islands, but are upset when China signs the same agreement with legitimate motives.
Since Australia's security agreement doesn't include the Chinese community and Chinese businesses, it's perfectly reasonable for the Solomon to bring in China to provide security guarantee to all communities.
The China-Solomon Islands police agreement stipulates that China can use police and military forces to protect the safety of Chinese personnel in case of riots in Solomon Islands,
and China will also have a naval base in Solomon to facilitate ship visits, logistical supplies, stopovers and transit; and Solomon Islands can request China to send police, armed police, military personnel and other law enforcement and military forces to Solomon according to its own needs.
The purpose of the agreement is to help Solomon maintain social order to protect the lives and property of all the people.
In November 2021, widespread riots broke out in Honiara, the capital of Solomon Islands, resulting in four deaths, as well as over $200 million in damages, and the looting of Chinatown stores in the capital.
Needless to say, it was Australia and other Western powers that were behind the riots targeting Chinese businesses.
Then under false pretenses, Australia sent 100 military police to maintain order resulting in the successful escape of the saboteurs.
Solomon realized the real purpose of Australia's aid is to control and dominate the Solomon Islands.
Aussies have no intention to provide security guarantee or to help the Solomon develop the economy.
That is why Solomon is willing to sign this policing agreement with the China!
Next time when the Aussies and Americans incite riots to achieve their geopolitical goals, China can come in to stop them.
US/Nato have been training/backing the Azov battalion to kill ethnic Russians of Ukraine since 2014.
Same pattern in the Solomon Islands, ie, inciting financing the opposition to target the Chinese community.
It's an open invitation for China to intervene.
Excellent observation. It is rather odd but it is consistent with most observations that where you have US, UK, Aust, Canada govts involved, you can expect there to be chaos, riots, coups, and so on. I wonder why? What could they possible have in common with each other?
I see Hypocrisy
If USA Respect Sovereignty and Freedom of Ukraine thn they Should also Respect Solomon Island Sovereignty and Freedom of Choice.

Of course there are 'double standards' Ian. Those of us in the 'West' seek only to protect our own interests and influence over other countries/Nations. The Chinese , in particular , are outright liars when it comes to any sort of diplomacy.
They will put the Solomon Islanders in a position where they will be unable to prevent a military base being set up there (normally by the expedient of exporting debt to the Islands who will then find it is unable to 'repay').You can make that list of yours as long as you like but if you think the American/European Allies give a tinkers curse about yours or any one else's outrage over previous wars/invasions/military operations (covert or otherwise), you are very much mistaken. The 'West' views China ,and Russia ,in particular, as Evil Empires and no moralistic hand wringing and finger pointing will alter that perception. Its a divided Planet, pick your side.

Solomon Island is independent and sovereign country. It can make choices. Why US is threatening Solomon Islands. Shame.
The hypocrisy 😳
US is convinced that China would built a military base in the Solomon Islands, are the US convinced about this the same way they were convinced that Iraq had bio weapons?
To be more accurate, the US was saying Iraq has weapons of mass destruction, couldn’t even say what kind of weapon, just WMD, trust us, we are the CIA and we know what you don’t know, we are starting a war with LIES but the whole world will believe us and no one can do shit even when they know we are lying.

The war in Ukraine is tragic but the us and NATO is extremely bias and proven to be more of a narcistic bully. In fact they are also to be blamed for the war in Ukraine. There is always two sides to a story. Why should Australia prepare for war with just talks of security when NATO is doing way more to deceptively control territories.
Its China taking the world over and who started the conflict in Ukraine not nato

You know the Western hegemony ends with a bloc called C.R.A.N.K. CHINA RUSSIA ATOMIC NORTH KOREA that are kicking up with hypersonics and got the U.S.A. shook... but like you said if the U.S. did NOT expand NATO to pose an existential threat to Russia this war would be a moot point... For all the experts what happened in the Cuban missile crisis the United States demanded those missiles out of Cuba and we were serious ... this is exactly what's playing out presently with Russia and NATO... This is a proxy war with the United States against Russia in the country of Ukraine
China is surly entitled to have Military bases anywhere, just like the US which has 700+ Military bases world wide. If a Chinese Military base on the Solomon Islands too close for Australia, (900+km) then what about several NATO bases right on Russia,s border ?? Different yard stick?
Who the hell trusts communist China when they want to destroy the US and Democracy remember when China said they would not demilitarize the SCS and they were only using the islands for tourists?

@@ukchatman4920 Are you deaf you didn't hear the news us threatened china with military action if it opened its base in soloman islands.. It's same as Ukraine..
The correct distance between Solomon Islands and Australia is 3,280 km and this will be the 2nd military base for China. What is there for U.S. to be so afraid of China having one or two bases when U.S. has more than 700 military bases all over the world. If U.S. can have 700 bases, surely China is justified to have a few bases here and there.
If U.S. can setup about 800 military bases around the world, why can’t China setup one military base in Solomon Island.???
Wait a minute, these are not the same people who in the Ukraine/Russia case said that: “as a matter of principle”, they “do not accept that any third country has the right to veto security agreements that a sovereign country can make” ? 🤔
I thought the US, UK and Australia only spread peace, freedom and democracy around the world?
I'm curious how they will sell a coup in the Solomons or an invasion.
Note that the Solomons are thousands of miles away from Australia, let alone the US or UK, yet they feel threatened.
WHO HAS BEEN FUNDING VIOLENT PROTESTS ?
@Kumar Ramishin hmm that would be weird tbh giving that china has a base in Sri lanka
China should go ahead and build its military base if the Host country gives its consent. Who cares what The West warmongers think,why threatening war to a country miles away from their borders. The lies should go and have a good Nap,only dwindling power acts childish,lies, and throw tantrums when they don't have things their way.

Bravo! Russia is doing the same thing that provokes such strong reaction from the same Australia and USA
lol Hypocrite as well are we. no better then USA are you.
Just got back from 2months in Solomon Islands, and I was told by the people they rioted because Chinese businesses pushing out the locals and invading there fishing grounds, the Solomon island premier was about to get kicked out of office by the people so he called in the Chinese to protect him, but Australian troops and police went in and settled things without one shot being fired. China is training the Solomon police and signed a security deal with China and tried to hide it. China now has a legitimate reason to have their military and spy ships and fishing fleets in the region and they will also take everything from the fishing grounds which the Solomon Islands live off.
The US is thousands of miles away from the Solomon Islands while China is its neighbor. Why doesn't the US mind its own business. The Solomon Islands are an independent, sovereign state and they have a right to sign a security deal with whomever they want. Aster all, this is the main argument of the US and NATO in the stand-off with Russia over Ukraine. So these threats by the US against an independent sovereign state is a direct attack on the Solomon's island's independence and sovereignty and a flagrant breach of international law.
If U.S. can setup military bases around the world, about 800. Why can’t China setup a base in Solomon Island.
Solomon Island is a sovereign nation like Ukraine and able to make decision like what NATO established military base in Ukraine so what is the difference?

OMG these hypocrites! I was wondering this very same thing if the US was in Russia's situation what would they have done? The Solomon Islands and the US dont share a border and they're open to using military to get their way.
If Austrialia and America is prepared for war in Solomon island, than they are sending a clear message of what Putin did to Urkarine is perfectly justified. At this point, I hate to say it, but I am beginning to love and support Putin and Russia now.
I am in the same boat, never in a million years did I think I would actually support commie China or dictatorial Russia, but right now the west is the single most threatening force in the world.

USA or Australia should understand that Solomon Islands is a Sovereign Independent country. USA, Australia nor any other country has authority or rule over any other country in this world. Solomon Islands or any other country has the universal sovereign right to sign trade relations or security pack of their own wish with other country. They should not be dictated or suppressed. Your political or regional issues should not be brought to a sovereign country's territory and cause problem for them. Please respect the sovereignty of a country. Don't put threats or disturb Solomon Islands.
So no country can establish relationship with China? And Blinken declared Ukraine has a right to have relationship with whomever it wishes. Solomon wants diplomatic relationship with China and US is going berserk? Isn't it super hypocritical? You don't notice this?

It's not even nuclear arms in Solomon Islands, just small base where few soldiers deployed. For Russia NATO was planning to put nuclear arms at Russia's border. Hypocrisy at its peak
The hypocrisy and double standards is beyond believe! The will be called the Anglo Saxon umpire!
How desperate is Australia to stop China from constructing military base in Solomon, that's how Russia is feeling right now. Russia doesn't want NATO base in it's neighbouring country. If Ukraine has a right to choose then Solomon also has that right. Double standards will backfire.
No one's gonna call them on it.
youre not right in the head, theres already like 9 countries next to russia that are nato countries many years before russia invaded ukraine your argument is mind boggling.
You got it wrong pal about this double standard. You rooting for the CCP to one day park military equipment in L.A.?
@@eshaybah5581 That gives them even more reason to worry, and I guess Ukraine was the tipping point. Your lack of common logic is mind boggling. Russia and the US(NATO) was never in a very good relationship, what makes you think it is ok to continue urging countries next to them to join NATO?
Well the US politicians have historically been hostile toward Russia. There's even a joke going around that the popular phrase "A dog ate my homework" has been replaced with "Russia did it" 😂 Given the political hostility between the two prior to the war I agree completely with Russia's security concerns especiially since the non-proliferation treaty was destroyed by Trump. Because that treaty disallowed both nations to place nuclear weapons near one another. With the destruction of the treaty and if Ukraine joins NATO. The US could basically place nuclear missiles 300km from Moscow.
I stand with the Solomon Islands!
You mean i stand for enslavement of the Solomans Islands People
Where you stand doesn't matter
If Russia does same for their security its wrong but if America does same they call them as saviours of world. Hypocrisy
Western Countries: Small nations like Ukraine have right to have military relationship with any country.
Solomon Islands: then, we choose to have military relationship with PRC.
Western Countries: 😡🤬👹👺🤺🏇
I am assuming you are Manipuri.
Now that the US is not happy, i will give Solomon Island a big thumps up if it can resist a regime change within the next 3 years. A violent coup or riot is likely to happen soon.
@@Liboch Yeah can't wait for a "Definitely not carried out by US" coup in Solomon Islands 1 year later and replaces the current regime with a "definitely not an oppressive dictator"
Great to see Palki back on show 🤙🏻
The US has threatened her, and Indian government didn't want her to criticism of the US officials. India has no backbone
I have no problem with someone criticizing the west if they do the same to their own country.There a lot things she could say India need to do better but she biased.That hypocrisy!!!
@@ibabdi3806 no she went for an event , you can see it on the video "Gravitas: Russian invasion of Ukraine marks 'return of the 1930s' "
@@parthbhatt715 okay I didn't know, thanks. I just feel the narrative is changing a little bit on the channel and the same with India today.
@@ibabdi3806 really? Cause they talked about US just today and criticized the US
USA is saying Russia should allow Ukraine to decide its destiny but Solomon Island cannot decide its destiny. Hypocrisy unlimited 🙄
USA is king and China is rebel. King has to put down rebellion. If rebel want to be equal as king, it should convince the people so. The world still think US has better judgement so listen to the US. The world is messy because people don’t listen to their leader.
@@kelsar6841 guess sarcasm intended
A Chinese military base 2000 km from Australia's border is a threat...
But NATO missile base at ZERO km from the Russian border is not a threat...
Who this people think they are fooling with their Hypocrisy?
Why is the USA concern about military base in the Solomon Island which is thousands of miles from its border. The USA has over 800 bases around the world. How many does China has? Food for thought.
So USA can have a base in 10000 places. But no other can have any base anywhere??? Monroe doctrine 🤷🏻♂️
The US is a big bully nation
Palki we missed you !!
Solomon Islands is a wake-up call.
US closed Embassy in 1993, shows SI is irrelevant to US interests.
Australia, a neighbouring country neglected these poor island nation, and who cares how these Islanders fared as long as Australia is prosperous.
Only China cared to go there.
SI have the sovereign right to make independent choice of who they interact with.
US/Au superiority complex now want to force change, ignoring SI sovereignty.
If you look at the trend, China goes where the rich developed nations sidestep especially poor devastated nations to develop.
The colony mind will then move in with various accusations of trapped debts.
Now I realized that English Country is the real dominator of the World.
Why USA is threatening China while opposes Russia's concerns over NATO in its backyard.
Just asking
political threats are happening all the time.... Russia had concerns that's ok.... Invading Ukraine is not ok
@@ukchatman4920 Russia made threats for 8 years before invading. Id imagine the US would wait even less time
@@randomyoutuber8227 Hmmm short memory, Russia denied they would invade Ukraine up to the last minute...
What war were you watching unfold..
@@ukchatman4920 Please how many countries did the USA and allies invade ? Better try not engage in this kind of explanation. There is absolutely no arguments possible at all. UK being the most barbaric nation closely followed by USA. That is fact heavily back by History book. In a normal civilized world these two should not even try to lecture anyone but again this is an unfair world because led by these two and allies...
@@ceoe-k2143 so that's the excuse to invade Ukraine, its been done before in History...
That's ok then thanks for the clarification
And what'd be the probleme if China had military base in Salon iland? I thought any souvereign country has the right to choose the partner it wants?
The people don’t want this
@@justincaver324 who's behind the people that doesn't want?
Who has the right to rule, the people or the government?
The people elected, now the government rules.
Do you think the people of Dombass wants to be part of Ukraine.
They were suffering genocide
And, what happens, to the Solomons, if China uses its base to attack the United States or Australia. The islands would become craters at the bottom of the Pacific.
@@diogobezerra467 Now we know that coming out that they’re probably gonna try to use the Chinese police on the island to stay in power wow look at that
@@petersinclair3997 makes you realize that russia feeling threatened is true.
Australia and the US should have seen this a long time ago and done something about it years ago. How blind can you be?
Yes Master! How dare these slave nations get out of line!
What hypocrisy, Solomon islands is an independent country that has the right to secure any deal as Ukraine also has but Australia is supporting Ukraine and the west, Solomon islands is 2000 km from Australia now they are preparing for war America does not rule out military action. But zelensky is a hero according to them and everyone should support him for wanting to join NATO but Solomon's island is not supposed to sign a deal on their own. We shall also supply them with weapons if Australia attacks them and put Australia under sanctions as they put Russia and pledge more arms to for them to defend themselves against a bully like Australia as it is also done in Ukrain.
Yesterday it was Russia, today it's China and tomorrow it will be............. Your guess is as good as mine.
Near peer theory.
Washington must keep down any potential peer powers in any region.
India, and Brazil will be on the list before long.
What? India? Lol
@@caffemocca8855 🙂
☹️
@@caffemocca8855 nah... 2 nuclear armed nations aren't stupid enough to go to war...
push one too far and the war will go nuclear...
😲 if they did attack or do special military action in Solomon just as they are tilting to the Chinese then there won't be a difference between russia and the west. Hypocrisy becomes evident and intolerable. If they have problem with China go and solve it with China not attacking this small island.
in last year - yes. in the newest history - at least russia had like 50 different arguments. on the other hand the us went to iraq only god knows why. i'm not trying to tell anyone how to behave but the comparison is just out of the line
I grew up in the Solomon's in the 60's and I can tell you now that the islanders don't like it one bit.
I think this is a deal cut between Sogavare and China.
Americans were concerned about Libya setting up the pan Africa gold standard and hence they illegally bombed the nation. Why isn't USA being sanctioned for their violation of a sovereign nation?
Just before Saddam invaded Kuwait, Saddam also talked about setting up a middle east united front to trade oil in only euros, next thing Saddam being invaded. Every leader who speaks of moving away from the dollar has been assassinated, invaded or complete regime change except Putin and Xi Xingpin.
@@robdahobbit1418 Let's not forget that Saddam was sponsored by USA during the Iraq and Iran war. Indeed as you correctly stated the case of Saddam, USA is the most dangerous regime in the world and smaller nations have been destroyed with American bombings and killing of civilians.
Welcome back Palki. Missed you too much.... :D
This sounds awfully familiar with Russia-Ukraine issue....
The US...lost its respect....if it had any....What is the difference between Russia & America....in this case.....
Wow the hypocrisy on usa, what about nato and Ukraine?
Welcome back ma'am . Great to see youu 😍😍🇮🇳🇮🇳
usa don't understand english well. china said its a security deal and not establishing a base. which part usa don't understand. usa's idiocracy is getting worst nowadays
bull
America needs war so it’s corporations can profit and get rich, while the civilians get dust, ever heard of Black water? The only thing we as citizens can do is protest but we should be willing to go further if our voices aren’t heard.
Too true--both SI and China have confirmed that no military base is agreed in the treaty BUT if US keeps on about it they may have to build a military base or 2 or 3 or more. US already has 4 military bses in Samoa and 8 in Australia so who should be shaking in their boots?
2000 Km from Australia.....and yet its a problem for US and Australia ......While Ukranine has border with Russia and yet west wonders ..whats the problem with the Russians ?
Why China has no right to set up a military base in the Solomon Islands
Western hypocrisy 🤣🤣Solomon island is sovereign state too and they have the right to choose their path, china has taken that whether the west like it or not.
This is the unruly nature of the so-called rule based democracies. Sheer hypocracy.
Bright it on, Democracies ALWAYS win. lesson from history
@@slueccroll4661 Athens lost to Sparta in the Peloponessian War. Very similar parallels to today.
😆😅😂🤣Ukraine is allowed to do what they want, and Russia has no say. But The Solomon Island cannot do what they want, because US disagreed. Go Figure ??? 🤔🤐
Solomon can't decide anything on their own without USA and Australia's concern?
Us coursing another war for god sake 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Palki is back ❤️
US has Navy and millitary base in South Korea, Japan , Phillipines . No countries in Asia or world ever questions them.
China and Solomon Islands have every right to do the same.
Solomon Island is a sovereign country. Why is a threat to Auatralia? Its too close to Australia? Russia says the same about Ukraine and Nato membership. Have to take action.Why Russia is wrong and Aukus is right? Its a hippocrates.
Isn't this on the same lines as Russia's "unjustified" war? Expansion is okay as long as NATO does it.
Last I checked NATO has not threatened to nuke or invade neighbours yet beside that sure same lines
@@joshlaube9021 What are they planning to do in the war? Kiss Solomon Island ppl and hand them over Wild Goose roast?
well which nato country "expand" ever since, i see no one. Only russia, crimea for example, now donbass, seems very aggressive too me, but i guess they "liberated from nazis" didnt they say that mmmh
@@granockss9548 ones alliances the other is borders but people can not tell the difference
TO THOSE COMPARING THIS WITH UKRAINE.

LONG LIVE DEMOCRACY!!!!!!!!!!!!
So only Ukraine has the right to pick their alliances right 😂😆😂 these people are hypocrites
apparently there is only the right to choose to hate russians
I'm from Solomon Island and there's no Chinese military base
Solomon island is a sovereign state. She has the right to chart her own destiny.
