Please tell African countries to be careful. The tensions evolving in the world now are huge. As Ukraine battles Russia for its future, China is striking a deal with Solomon Islands to put a military base there: ‘The United States warned Friday it would “respond accordingly” if China installs a military base on the strategic Solomon Islands after the tiny Pacific state signed a security pact with Beijing.’

The implication is massive. Yes, it seems like China wants to have its own version of “NATO” and is recruiting countries. The positions of Australia, New Zealand and the United States on Solomon Islands as China comes could be likened to how Russia feels about Ukraine as NATO draws closer: “Some were concerned …: a Chinese military base being built in the Solomon Islands, a first for China in the Pacific. Australia and the US were so worried that they sent delegations to the Pacific island, hoping to stop the agreement.”

The big question is this: what if Solomon Islands decides to make a sovereign decision and go ahead with China, what happens? FT has called it an “irony” when you see what is happening in Ukraine with Russia. Humans are just the same - hope someone can invent a drug to make us enjoy living peacefully.

China I am sure is paying a yearly hefty sum to Solomon Islands to install a base there.

Likling a Chinese base to NATO is a bit of a stretch but it's bound to ruffle some feather, especially the US and its English speaking allied nations.

The Islanders should be prepared for lots of bi-racial kids, many with absentee fathers. That's a legacy American bases left in the Phillipines.

RUSSIA AND CHINA ARE SERIOUSLY OPPOSED TO THE GROWTH OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION.

You call “slavery” growth ?

Weak nations have to choose their preferred slave masters. Recolonization is going on. Queen of England is still head of government in Solomon Islands. Security pact with China might be due to economic benefits.

Slavery to slavery

Lol. I feel this comment. So true. Selfishness and manipulation have been on for so long. We are all supposed to be equal.

Equality is a good sign of a good leader.

The war among humans didn’t just start now, it has been on for so long. Maybe since the beginning of Mankind.
