Russia already stated that they will do precisely that, so this moves us one step closer to a nuclear holocaust. Hope it was worth it.

I’m expecting there are going to be a lot of really angry investors when they realize Russia isn’t going to honor any of that.

yeah, it’s basically capitalist realism

I’m not American nor have any loyalty to the Western hegemony. I’m an anarchist living in a country with its own independence movement attempting to get out from the boot of colonialism.

Anarchists are just edgy liberals, thanks for confirming that once again in this thread.

When you’re finished your work for the day propagandising, I hope you go home and think on your morality. Think on who you are as a person. Is defending Chinese bullying, violence, and threat really the best thing you can be doing with your life?

Hope you’ll take your own advice, but we both know you won’t. Clearly defending US colonialism is how you choose to spend your life. Peak anarchism right there.

Remind me how long that “10-day special operation” is taking again?

Yes, let me remind you that it’s now publicly known that Ukraine was about to make a peace deal within the first couple months. Then the west tanked that deal, and started pumping weapons into Ukraine.

Seriously, how can the “2nd best military in the world” falter so hard against their tiny neighbour with 1/4 of the population just because they got weapon donations from other countries? It shouldn’t be that hard to counter right, I mean Russian military technology is allegedly so advanced and totally not stuck in the 80s. I would understand if it were half-way across the globe or something, but they’re LITERALLY ON THEIR DOORSTEP. It’s also concerning that China has repeatedly failed Russia when it comes to Ukraine and has caved into international pressure quite a few times, maybe it’s because China also realizes that the war is completely embarrassing Russia?

Wow that’s a fascinating assessment of the situation. Let’s see how it compares with what people with an actual clue have to say rusi.org/…/attritional-art-war-lessons-russian-wa…

The US navy has a larger airforce than the entire Chinese airforce

Last I checked US lost every one of their war games, but keep going kiddo.

Damn, an opinion piece news article. Guess that destroys the entire American military and truly shows that China numba one.

Maybe you should read up what the American military has to say before making a clown of yourself

I literally said that exact same thing in my original comment, it goes against your point lmao.

LMFAO you claimed that people in Taiwan want independence, where actual polling shows that practically nobody wants it. 🤡

Do you honestly think a military blockade is the way to get people on the side of your cause?

I don’t think that at all, and that’s why China hasn’t resorted to this option.

“After all the people I disagree with are got rid of” Do you honestly think that makes you the good guy? Removing political opponents is the methodology of authoritarians.

Entire books have been written explaining in great detail how media is used to manipulate public opinion, and here you are bleating about AuThoRiTarIanS. 🤡

You claim international law on one hand as if it means something and then threaten with the big stick with the other.

Not sure what the contradiction in your mind is of a country enforcing its laws within its borders. You’ll have to enlighten us on this fascinating political theory of yours.

Put simply, you’re an asshole.

Put simply, you’re a cheap propagandist without a shred of intellectual honesty.

Tell me you have no idea how the UN works without explicitly saying so. A majority of countries not recognizing Taiwan doesn’t mean it’s “international law” that Taiwan isn’t independent.

I think you just told us that about yourself.

LMAO this is such a cope.

Proceeds to write a bunch of cope. 😂

. They know if they tried full-out war against the US or its allies (Taiwan), the US navy would cut off their international trade and turn their country upside down – it’s why they’re trying so hard (and failing) to seize full control of the South China Sea.

You losers can’t even prop up Ukraine against Russia, and think you can take on China. The sheer delusion here. Burgerland economy would collapse overnight. Go check where all your shit comes from sometime. 😂

Again, absolute cope.

It’s incredible how you have trouble grasping the situation and think China is going to “peacefully” absorb Taiwan when Taiwan is farther from China than ever in terms of national identity and international participation.

You’re like the living embodiment of the Dunning-Kruger effect.

Latest polling shows that vast majority of people want to maintain the status quo, and very few people want independence, but do go on child esc.nccu.edu.tw/PageDoc/Detail?fid=7801&id=6963

LMAO, China can just blockade the province and the economy there would crash overnight.

The only real metric to determine whether Taiwan is part of China is to ask the people who live there. And guess what, this is what they say:

Yeah, I agree, especially after all the NED sponsored propagandists are kicked out. Meanwhile, even despite US having a massive presence in Taiwanese media, the only reason DPP got in power was using first past the post mechanic.

Latest polling shows that vast majority of people want to maintain the status quo:

yogthos OP , 1 month ago to worldnews in A government report from Ottawa warns it's time for Canada to prepare for the possibility of civil war in the US.

I can’t see it being an actual war in a traditional sense. I would imagine it more like civil unrest, perhaps along the lines of the Rwandan civil war where armed right wing militias are going to start roaming around murdering people. It’s possible this could lead to Balkanization of US too.

yogthos OP , 1 month ago to technology in China’s 6th Generation and Upcoming Combat Aircraft: 2024 Update

Last I checked, China hasn’t been at war since the 70s, and allocates a tiny fraction of the resources that US allocates to military spending. If you don’t understand why China needs to be able to defend itself against a rabid empire that constantly invades countries, then it’s pretty clear who the actual clown here is. This is what China’s military protects:

Household savings hit major highs across China www.chinadailyhk.com/hk/article/315229

90% of families in the country own their home, giving China one of the highest home ownership rates in the world. What’s more is that 80% of these homes are owned outright, without mortgages or any other leans. forbes.com/…/how-people-in-china-afford-their-out…

Chinese workers enjoy basic form of the democratic corporate governance system via assemblies of employee representatives. taylorwessing.com/…/employees-participation-in-co…

The real (inflation-adjusted) incomes of the poorest half of the Chinese population increased by more than four hundred percent from 1978 to 2015, while real incomes of the poorest half of the US population actually declined during the same time period. www.nber.org/system/files/…/w23119.pdf

From 1978 to 2000, the number of people in China living on under $1/day fell by 300 million, reversing a global trend of rising poverty that had lasted half a century (i.e. if China were excluded, the world’s total poverty population would have risen) semanticscholar.org/…/c883fc7496aa1b920b05dc2546b…

From 2010 to 2019 (the most recent period for which uninterrupted data is available), the income of the poorest 20% in China increased even as a share of total income. data.worldbank.org/indicator/SI.DST.FRST.20?end=2…

By the end of 2020, extreme poverty, defined as living on under a threshold of around $2 per day, had been eliminated in China. According to the World Bank, the Chinese government had spent $700 billion on poverty alleviation since 2014. www.nytimes.com/…/china-poverty-xi-jinping.html

Real wage (i.e. the wage adjusted for the prices you pay) has gone up 4x in the past 25 years, more than any other country. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cw8SvK0E5dI

What you’re doing here is called sophistry. Taiwan being part of China is a fact that’s recognized by international law. It’s really that simple. The reality is that China could remove US sponsored regime in the rogue province any time they want. However, they realize that it’s much better to remove burgerland influence in a peaceful way, and that’s what will happen. It’s incredible how people have trouble grasping such basic things.

edit: I aboslutely love how utterly enraged lemmy radlibs get when faced with reality

yogthos , 1 month ago to memes in Get rich quick

This is also the position of the UN, and vast majority of countries in the world. Taiwan is part of China, get over it.
