What this poorly written article doesn't say clearly is that these are Burmese REFUGEES who have ran from the war-mongering military junta to India. India does not recognize refugees and have jailed them.
OKC still needs a center. I thought they would try and get Hartenstein.
I don't think Giddey straight up is a bad deal for Bulls at all. Caruso is a good role player. Strong defensive guard. Giddey is a tall point guard who is a match up problem with more upside. Bulls have a PG in Ball also. I'm guessing Bulls don't think Ball is going to be durable EVER in his career. But if he's available, he and Giddey will play backcourt similar to what OKC had. That's their future backcourt, which when healthy is not bad.
So Bulls got the Giddey sweepstakes!
This news come a few days after the article on fracturing. This is a reality we all must be aware of. Despite everyone being unified in their opposition to MAL's junta, we are not united. Even within the same ethnic group.
yes thank you for that.
I found this part interesting: ""We were unprepared for that kind of response," Philippine navy spokesperson Roy Trinidad said in a phone interview on Thursday. "We stuck with the rules of engagement. They were not allowed to use guns except for self defence.""
So China created the conditions for this kind of confrontation by including non-use of guns in confrontations, similar to its border with India. And then proceeds to create this aggression with swords and spears. Philippines was too naive. China is escalating tensions there, taking things to the edge of sparking a hot war without having one.
Here are some pics of Chinese boarding Philippine vessels with axes swords and pointed weapons: (https://x.com/TeamAFP/status/1803423024449986581).
This kind of tactic is reminiscent of the Chinese style of combat on the border with India.
That's one big contract!
This is dead.
