China and Russia love the fact Trump closed Voice of America

[ElmerMudd]

And you are very ignorant of technology. I can make it look like my computer is in a different state or country with a VPN and there is also Tor or the Dark Web which has as many political sites as the other nasty crap that are almost impossible to block. The tools to connect to the WWW are cheap.

It would be best if you didn't talk about things you don't understand and stop calling out other peoples stupidity.

I have tried using a VPN in China and it did not work too well. Paying for a VPN is another issue.
The poor countries of the world cannot use a VPN if you don't have a computer.
The African countries are becoming more important as they move into the global economy with there many natural resources in demand throughout the world. China and Russia are both working hard to ally the African countries..

RADIOS CAN REACH MORE PEOPLE WORLDWIDE THAN SOCIAL MEDIA.

I doubt you have ever been outside the USA. You talk like you have no clue of the world outside the USA which is a quality of most MAGA lemmings.

 

[ElmerMudd]

Radio-Free Europe worked fairly well to plant and nurture seeds of democratic (small D) discontent in Eastern Europe.

But, given the non-European / non-Western servile nature of several other VOA audiences...

I'm not so sure that the money spent on VOA is yielding enough of an ROI to make it worthwhile...

Just thinking-out-loud... I do not have empirical data to support such a speculation... but it's worth articulating...

You could be correct. The answer is not to eliminate it but to change it. Implement and structure VOM for the realities of the world in 2025. China and Russia are finding ways to use broadcasts to help get their propaganda out there.

 

[ElmerMudd]

They are happy that Marxists and Commies faking being reporters are no longer paid for by taxpayers?

The words of a MAGA lemming whose brain is controlled by Donald Trump.

 

[ElmerMudd]

You do realize you can block radio signals as well, right?

Blocking Social Media (Easier)
Blocking Radio Signals (Harder)

Careful you will give them a migraine with that degree of common sense.

It's the commie people living within the U.S.A. who will not give up their wealth for the greater good. Look at Colbert. Imagine him giving it all up for his beliefs.

China and Russia love the fact Trump closed Voice of America.
As VOA communications are closing, in countries throughout the world, China and Russia are opening up their own station broadcasting into the various countries. They use the communication to spread their propaganda, draw closer ties with the governments and expanding economic ties.
China and Russia love what Trump is doing. As the USA pulls back on relations throughout the world, China and Russia are moving in.

The Trump administration axed Voice of America, and China's state media are delighted

The dismantling of the international broadcaster and other U.S. government-funded news outlets was criticized as another blow to U.S. soft power efforts.

Good one Elmer and I am following you. You are a valuable contributor and you provide good analysis. You are right up there with berg80 and IM2 who appears to be on vacation and Dr. Phosphorous as well. All solid in my book.

yes Trump and China love this. China and Russia are going to step up the propaganda and no more VOA to counter it.

There is this new thing called the World Wide Web you may not have heard of it. But people all over the planet can get news and media almost instantly from across the globe.

Remember, you're talking to people on the left, who insist black folks are too stupid to get photo IDs, and rural folks don't have the internet.

Then you where using a shitty VPN. Your ignorance of technology is staggering there are more people on social media at this moment than the entire history of radio. I've seen poor as **** African tribesmen posting videos on Youtube and Twitter. You can pick up a smart phone for less than $20 dollars. This isn't the early 20th century moron.

By the way dumbass I didn't vote for Trump.

What does that have to do with VOA. You are whacked.

I live in the sticks and have a gigabit fiber connection.

Oh my. You don't know what you don't know.

China has a sophisticated internet censorship system, known as the Great Firewall (GFW), which actively blocks VPN traffic. While VPNs can theoretically circumvent censorship by routing internet traffic through servers outside China, the GFW employs various techniques to detect and block VPN connections, making it a constant "cat-and-mouse game" between the Chinese government and VPN providers.

Sounds reasonable. Good luck making that happen while we're in-thrall to 19th Century Isolationist Mindsets...

Dude I ran networks and email servers for intel units in the Army. I have forgotten more about that shit than you will ever know. Using quality VPN's and distributed networks with software like the Tails browser you can get past anything.

Run along sport this isn't the kiddy pool.

 

[JLW]

Russia and China love Trump.

Trump has absolutely eviscerated American soft power.

Wiped it out around the world.

He did it in less than six months.

80 years of being a leader, gone in six months.

Is it any wonder why so many think Trump is a double agent?

 

[ThunderKiss1965]

The MAGA minions are so clueless they do not understand the implications of the many things Trump is doing.

Oh shit how are these ignorant tribesman going to use such technology.

South Africa: Starlink Offers Free Internet to Rural Schools If Ownership Rules Change

Starlink told the South African government it will connect over 5,000 schools if it can ignore the 30% local ownership requirement for a licence. The company says it will pay for everything, from the satellite kits to maintenance, and wants to help 2.4-million pupils.

Of course they do.

Trump benefiting fellow authoritarian regimes comes as no surprise.

Lol, it's 2025 we don't need government funded propaganda.

If you add and extra layer of tinfoil to your hat you might be able to pick it up.

There is a huge portion of this country who find white liberals so repulsive that it is near impossible to imagine something worse.
