US To "Respond Accordingly" If Solomon Islands-China Pact Permits Military Base

April 24, 2022

The United States has warned the Solomon Islands’ leadership that it would “respond accordingly” if a military installation on the Pacific Islands nation is allowed under the terms of the Solomon Islands-China security pact.

The White House stated Friday that a high-level U.S. delegation has met with the Solomon Islands’ leadership in Honiara and raised concerns about the purpose and transparency of the agreement.

According to its statement, Solomon Islands’ officials have clarified that the security deal was solely for domestic applications, but the U.S. delegation claimed that it posed “potential regional security implications” for Washington and its allies.

“If steps are taken to establish a de facto permanent military presence, power-projection capabilities, or a military installation, the delegation noted that the United States would then have significant concerns and respond significantly,” it stated.

The White House did not specify how the United States would respond.

Stunning Upset! LePen Trounces Globalist Macron in Guadeloupe, Martinique, Guayana!

Published April 24, 2022 at 9:23am

First results from French overseas territories indicate a stunning upset victory for the “French Donald Trump” Marine LePen in today’s presidential run-off.

In the French overseas territories of Guadeloupe, Martinque and French Guayana, the allegedly “racist” or even “facist” Marine LePen scored a surprise upset against globalist incumbent Emmanuel Macron. In Guadeloupe, LePen scored 75% to Macron’s 25%, in Martinique 77.5% to Macron’s 22.5% and 65% in French Guayana to 35% for Macron.

All these overseas territories are primarily black and Creole. White Europeans only make up about 10-15% of the population, giving the lie to the smear of LePen as “racist”.

Emmanuel Macron won all three overseas territories by a wide margin 2017: Guadeloupe 75%, Martinique 77% and Guayana 65%. The first results from the overseas territories, which began voting one day ahead of metropolitan France, would seems to indicate a stunning upset for Marine LePen.
