Laos: Mexico “World Cup” Opening Ceremony! (17.6.2026)

The professional aspect in those days was really about learning to survive outside the UK in unfamiliar circumstances, and still manage to win games under very different local conditions. As this was a difficult task – the players received a small wage whilst their travel and board was paid (I think by the English Football Association). Obviously, within the UK a support network already existed with most players already holding-down full-time jobs in other industries (football would be played after work – in the evenings and at weekends). WWI and WWII destroyed endless generations of talented footballers in England so our standard has dropped to “average” at world level – and foreigners have been able to better us – whilst we still seek to recover our naturally dominant style as a country. Another issue has been the “capitalisation” of football so that everyone is encouraged to play for greed – and are rewarded for greed. This is what FIFA is all about. Although England won the 1966 World Cup – we need to routinely dominate it so that football can be shifted back to its intended art-form – and away from the cesspit of racism and greed it is today. The US should be facing War Crimes Trials – and not being rewaded by FIFA.

Russia: Laos Special Forces Training in the Kommadam Military Academy! (6.6.2026)

Laos is a small country in South-East Asia that was one of the most bombed country in history as the the US believed that the North Vietnamese (and Vietcong) were receiving supplies via the Ho Chi Minh Trail – from China and the USSR. This satuation bombing was worse than any bombing experienced during WWII. The Laotian people are Buddhist and only became free (after a Socialist Revolution) in 1975 after the US Forces were defeated and withdrew from Vietnam (technically, the US left in 1973 – but the US-controlled puppet “Army of the Republic of Vietnam” (ARVN) – did not surrender until 1975). It is interesting that although modern Russia is capitalist, nationalist, and quite often racist in its rhetoric, the non-White Socialist countries are fully supportive. This just goes to show how complex the dialectical situation is in the world today. The rightwing bourgeoisie of the West is in conflict with the left-leaning bourgeoise in Russia (bizarrely, whilst generally denigrating the history of the USSR – many Russian intellectuals claim that there is “no bourgeosie” in Russia).

General Secretary of the Lao People's Revolutionary Party Central Committee and Lao President Thongloun Sisoulith visited east China's Zhejiang Province from Tuesday to Wednesday, touring technology companies and rural communities. During the trip, he said "thank you" on three occasions to express appreciation for China's technological progress and rural revitalization efforts.

Russia: President Putin Meets President of Laos – Thongloun Sisoulith! (11.5.2026)

The Second World War became the greatest tragedy in the human history. During the war the Soviet Union was the main battleground in Europe, standing shoulder to shoulder with China fought in the Far East.

It was the USSR that took the main blow of Hitler’s Germany and satellites united under its banners and played the key role in destruction of fascism and militarism. Soviet people, having overcome the hardships created by the treacherous invasion, having endured through all horrors of that war, engaged in fierce combat with aggressors and paid the cost of innumerable lives to gain the Great Victory.

This triumph was ultimately significant for the whole world – the defeat of Nazi Germany and militaristic Japan signified the end of claims of the disciples of the inhumane ideology of fascism to global domination, their intentions to enslave whole nations.

Laos Buddhist-Socialist Republic: Using Inner & Outer Culture to Construct Socialism! (4.2.2026)

Supplies arrived on the back of walking peasants – and/or soldiers, guerrillas, and volunteers riding bicycles, etc. These supplies came from the USSR and China, as well as other places.

Simce then, Laos Communist Party has been navigating the vaguaries and peculiarities of the political and cultural climate.
