Dorje Shugden, Refugee Confiscations, Japanese Maritime Maginot Line

Our last episode of the year starts with some commentary about the EU’s predictable decision to renew sanctions against Russia for another six months.

We then take the conversation along to criticizing Hillary Clinton’s absurd slander about Donald Trump’s videos supposedly being used for Daesh recruitment. Following that, we talk about Reuters’ anti-China fail, where they tried implicating Beijing for supporting an anti-Dhalai Lama Buddhist group, but in reality raised awareness about his autocratic sectarianism. Next up, we address Denmark’s new plan to seize refugees' cash and valuables as compensation for their tax-funded stay, and finally, we end with Japan’s ambitious strategy to build a maritime Maginot Line across 200 islands in the disputed East China Sea.
