Tibet belongs to China for 1000 years. No one can change that reality.

Zimbabwe belongs to the blacks. The remaining english whites in the country have to return back the land they are occupying. Mugabe or not in power the whites have to face this reality.

Brilliant video. Perhaps a little biased on the Zanu-pf side, but I think that's necessary, after all the Western propaganda that we've seen.

[06simpry]

About time Russia and China used their veto. They have a right to just as much as the US does. And the US has used it 10 times more than both of them combined.

[Evasively]

Zimbabwe crumbled as soon as the British withdrew.

It was one of the wealthiest countries in Africa before...
