@BDHerzinger should be the easiest thing in the world to forcibly reopen the strait if they are already militarily eliminated

We should be very clear that you’re not a fourth center of world power if other countries can bomb you with impunity and effectively eliminate all of your conventional military power in the space of three weeks.
Robert A. Pape@ProfessorPape
This is what I argued in my recent NYT op-ed: Iran is emerging as a 4th center of world power—alongside the U.S., China, and Russia Not because it’s stronger militarily But because it can shape decisions at the top of the system

@Kuuhaku3993 israel probably accounts for 99% of all copies of mein kampf ever published

I touched on this before, but this entire propaganda campaign hinges on the idea that Hitler only hated jews, and no one else. Cause why the fuck would a majority of Palestinians worship a guy who thought of them as subhuman, as described in his book

It used to irk me that China didn’t adopt a more USSR-style offensive approach to counter pro-American propaganda. But they’ve shown it’s often more effective to wait and let the US reveal itself to the world

Chinese kids think Americans eat people because of Epstein lmao

@policytensor According to this table China, the greatest manufacturer in the world, only has 2.2 missiles per launcher across all categories of missiles. Even in the most numerous category of MRBMs they only have 4.3 missiles per launcher. lol, lmao
English
Iran has already fired as many SRBMs and MRBMs as the Pentagon told Congress were estimated to be in the Chinese arsenal last year.
“Iran has launched roughly 5,156 drones, 2,181 ballistic missiles, and 59 cruise missiles since the war began, according to JINSA data.”
English
@McReynoldsJoe @teortaxesTex I wonder how many Chinese who fashion themselves as serious policy thinkers do the equivalent of this. "yeah I actually follow lots of Pentagon analysts and they are all saying that every American soldier is fat and dumb and gay"
English
@teortaxesTex Fantasizing? I think the Iran war is fucking stupid, and I'm simply repeating what PLA analysts have said. If you dislike the analysis, take it up with the PLA. If you agree with the analysis, but still think Xi would be willing to die a martyr for Taiwan.. maybe? But I doubt it?
English
They're still fantasizing about how this pathetic shitshow is scaring Chyna. Xi is probably more disgusted than anything.
Joe McReynolds@McReynoldsJoe
The big counterpoint to this: PRC analysts have noted in various fora that we're more aggressive/successful at leadership decapitation strikes than they'd expected. "You win Taiwan, but the top 3 layers of your leadership all die" isn't that attractive a trade for Xi I'm guessing

@mongymongmongy @NobleQAli simple repetition usually works on the simple minded but apparently too advanced for you

@avatarsequel69 @NobleQAli Simply repeating that it undermines my point when I already destroyed that notion doesn't mean anything. You're simply a small brains parrot repeating a phrase you don't even understand again and again and again
English
Some of you completely misunderstand what socialism even is, which stops the conversation before it even begins. Socialism isn’t the politics of Robin Hood, or telling people to live like monks.
All it is, is enabling workers to keep the value of what their labor produces.

.@marclamonthill is an egregiously stereotypical Champagne Socialist. No way I’m listening to a man who owns for-profit businesses, drives a Porsche and wears Rolexes lecture me about the ills of Capitalism. No one is stopping you from redistributing your wealth.
English
@NobleQAli they also like to do things such as counting murdered civilians as enemy combatants and not counting losses from their allied(vassal) forces as friendly casualties for the purpose of calculating their holy k:d ratio
English
Americans, for some reason, believe that killing more of their guys than they kill your guys is what counts as winning a war.
They’ll continue to believe this while posting from the mattress in the back seat of their mini-SUV, whose tank they can’t afford to fill.

@mongymongmongy @NobleQAli undermined your own point immediately, you are just an even dumber version of this guy
English
@NobleQAli LMAO, you think peasants anywhere didn't "know" the true value of literacy, you complete fucking retard? Have you ever talked to poor people in your life?
This is leaving the side to dubious value of literacy under governments that restrict what you can fucking read lol
English
@Tas1Bora They should be glad to be underestimated by the US, thats a big advantage if the US starts a conventional war. If the US thinks about going beyond conventional, thats what the nuclear buildup is for
English
Something I wonder is what the higher-ups in the Chinese government think about what has become of their adversaries. They face a multi-country coalition whose govts subsidy disinfo and kanging in billions. And the worst part is their leaderships seem to believe in their own propaganda.
If the Chinese Govt believes their adversaries aren't rational thus couldn't be deterred, that has massive strategic implications.

@felixss_felicis @SecondRingSZN set a good example and balkanize your own country into 5000 tiny powerless "politically" indigenous ethnostates first
English
@SecondRingSZN Well obviously they're indigenous in the sense that they are from the place, but Han Chinese people are not indigenous in any meaningful political sense, and take the role of the oppressor culture (like many majoritary European ethnolinguistic groups, etc.)
English
You're so close. Han Chinese in mainland China are indigenous to mainland China. Hope that helps!
Chris Horton 何貴森@heguisen
The way that China and Taiwan refer to their Indigenous peoples is quite instructive: China: Ethnic minorities/少數民族, the implication being that they are fewer and matter less Taiwan: Indigenous peoples/原住民, the original inhabitants, who deserve respect

@ShoahUkraine the theory of all the "china is not communist" guys seems to be that there is a big red button you can press to achieve communism instantly and xi jinping is refusing to press it
English
That’s not what Marxism is. What you’re describing is the end goal Marx envisioned, a fully stateless and classless society.
Marxism itself includes a transitional stage called the dictatorship of the proletariat, where the working class takes political power and uses the state to dismantle class structures, suppress the former ruling classes, and reorganize the economy.
In Marxist theory, the state doesn’t disappear immediately. It persists as a tool of class rule during this transition.
Only after class distinctions are abolished and material conditions change does the state " wither away. " So pointing out that a country still has a state or class differences doesn’t, by itself, disprove that it operates within a Marxist framework or claims to be in that transitional phase.
AMK Mapping 🇳🇿@AMK_Mapping_
@SenTomCotton China is capitalist you fucking idiot. Marxism requires you to have a stateless and classless society. China is neither of these. But of course, you need to apply scary labels to anyone against U.S. hegemony so you can keep your delusional population dumb and obedient.

@Bgrew11 @nerdtechgasm they know rich people in the US have more power than anyone else including the government and can get away with any crimes they want, unlike China
English
@nerdtechgasm Bla bla bla, they have lights in their city, we just blew away their advanced tech in Venezuela and Iran. They are a dictatorship with no democracy, horrible human rights records, and you are a shill for them, congrats. Why do all the rich Chinese always want to move to the USA ?

Not that long ago, 2022, I was still a typical Westerner fully brainwashed and a China hater.

@LonesomeWest @EricHovagim you are also a zionist donkey acting as a shield for the other zionist donkeys who are actively trying to kill as many children as they can. i expect you to applaud me for being woke enough to use the entire word
English
@EricHovagim It's very obviously an antisemitic term that has no plausible heritage in anything other than far-right white supremacist spaces (as many leftists and leftist groups without terminal ODD have acknowledged!) and it's totally indefensible to be using for edgy posturing online.
