Wow those last two are some pretty bad fakes. The first one I could blame on like file corruption or something, but I can't think of any way to explain the last two.

The one where the "head doesn't connect to the body correctly" shows a man with a tensed sternocleidomastoid muscle. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sternocleidomastoid_muscle

The one where "it couldn't decide if the glasses existed or not" probably shows a woman wearing cochlear implants behind her ears.

Literally every country in the world, including the USA, believes that Taiwan is a part of China. You're extremely uninformed on this matter.

The US does not consider Taiwan part of China. The US follows one China policy which is that they acknowdge Chinas position that it believes Taiwan is part of China. That’s like saying “I understand you believe that the sky is pink.” Hence she the US refers to it as strategic ambiguity. This is the same position that the likes of NZ and AU have. So don’t go telling people they are uninformed when clearly you’re just…

You're just splitting hairs. It's the same picture.

Sorry but humans do not look like that, sternocleidomastoid or no. Even the shadow makes no sense. Cochlear implants are, implanted, not worn over the ears.

There's many many more pictures like this. They're fake people.

There’s a reason why the CCP uses the One China Principle while countries like the US have One China Policy.

Don’t forget that the CCP advocated for Taiwan independence, and during an interview Mao said they would help Taiwan (Formosa) in its struggle for independence. During a conference in Moscow in the 1920s they referred to Taiwan as an independent nation and nationality. This only changed in 1943.

There’s no long China history with China. When the Dutch went to Taiwan there was no presence of Ming dynasty. And at no point in history had china ever controlled or ruled over Taiwan. The CCP has never even set food in Taiwan.

So it literally has no valid claims to Taiwan. Regardless of any opinions you may hold.

If that’s splitting hairs then there’s no point in discussing because you obviously don’t care about history or facts and only regurgitate propaganda.

The questions surrounding the involvement of foreign actors are interesting meanly because of the timing. It’s interesting that Iran see a vague of mass protests right after the utter failure of the nuclear talks and when they are admittedly very close to getting the bomb. Plenty of foreign powers therefore have an interest into seeing the current regime fall down and have historically never been above giving a gentl…

This has the marks of a colour revolution. From the false news spread constantly being spread by Masiha Alinejad, to the focus on a small but growing group of protestors, to the massive social media campaigns trying to flame the situation both in and outside of Iran, this is well coordinated. Mahsa Amini collapsed at a facility and was never hurt. No signs of being beaten are visible on her hospital pictures or her e…

Would you want Iranian system in Pakistan?

I would not want the Iranian system anywhere but Iran
