Watch "Chinese/American solidarity in The Martian (2015)" on Streamable.

The Chinese come to the rescue of NASA and the movie literally concludes with one of the American heroes fist-bumping a Chinese astronaut on a joint mission back to Mars. It's a sad reminder of how bad the new cold war has become in just a few years.

2015: :wholesome: We can explore space together! :solidarity:

2022: President Xi is going to invade Taiwan at any moment LAUNCH THE NUKES NOW! :guts-rage:

:sadness:

    You tankies want to criticise the US military, but what if someday we team up with China to defeat the antichrist's military? Isn't that a good thing? Don't we need an F-35 to defeat the antichrist?

      Isn't there some bible part where god could help the Jews defeat some enemy because they had iron chariots? Reject modern armored vehicles, return to chariots
