Read the comments they're hilarious
Both the ones saying the US would win and the ones saying China would win
Omg there's people in that thread that think the US will lose but only because the army is too "woke". Incredible minds at work.
Six months ago I talked to a marine who wanted to put all blue hair people in nazi style concentration camps. His words.
I for one would be happy to cost the USA the $100k or whatever a year it would be to imprison me. I'll just chill and work on my meditation.
CW death
Two things can be true at the same time. The time in US prisons for most parts isn't chill and "significantly better" does mean little when it still is very low in objective and subjective experience for many.Of course it depends a bit where you are, if you are imprisoned in some US prisons which are torturous due to heat, their temporary construction, sleeping with 100 people in a too small room, with too few showers, beds, violent excess and being forced to work; or being "forgotten"(read abandoned) in your cells during a slowly rising flood so you die in your cells cause the guards just left; or the regular regularized sexual assault that is common (read your anarchist feminist readings for that).
Don't forget the rampant spread of diseases like hepatitis, the lack of adequate medical care, and the shitty, inhumane food!
No, they're significantly better than much of the world, but compared to any developed nation they're cesspits.
I'm not sure about that but only because there is some stiff competition for that title
how do you literally describe what you want to do as "nazi style" and not think you're a nazi
Tom Cotton or whoever was saying that the military went soy when it should be filled with men "who want to sit on a throne of Chinese skulls".
That was actually conservative talk show radio host Jesse Kelley on The Tucker Carlson Show <- This one is the clip
as a rule of thumb if you think "God wants me to kill these people" no He doesn't calm down
Lmao at the comment saying the west coast would welcome invasion. Imagine being really bought in to nationalism but also believing that a third of your country is a fifth column of communist sympathizers.
Brain geniuses unable to process that California is like 48% Republicnans
their generals have their positions due to nepotism and bribery, not competence
Our generals can't even claim nepotism and bribery. They failed upward on pure merit.
Omg this is just incredibly stupid "top minds" shit.
Like a comment where someone says "They'd never be able to invade the US with their 2 aircraft carriers and paltry Navy!"
And it's like... why do you think that is, Jim? Do you think it's because their entire military posture is defensive and intended to prevent the US from destroying the country using off-shore bombardment? Could that be a factor?
wish i could but my brain doesn't work and/or adult language pedagogy is a pseudoscience
The US forces are diminished and full of incompetent wokers, and the base of citizens in places like California, Oregon, Washington, would welcome an invasion once things got tough
oh these folks are wonderful specimens. good find!
Things are already rough, and here I am welcoming an invasion. Where's the lie
I’d certainly welcome it. Imagine high speed rail directly from China to California and back via a Bering Strait tunnel. That would be amazing.
I don't think that would be feasible. The Bering Strait is pretty far north but I think it's still subject to Ring of Fire earthquakes.
China is a paper tiger.
lmao. do you think he knows the origin of this phrase
two aircraft carriers against an 800B annual military budget
We spent more, therefore we can't lose
I remember reading that the US has no answer to hypersonic ballistic missiles. An aircraft carrier facing hypersonic missiles will end up as a very expensive artificial coral reef
Don't worry, because the Russians and CHinese don't have those. And if they do they don't work. And if they work they don't have enough range. And if they have enough range they won't be able to find our carrier battle groups. And if they find our carrier battle groups they won't making it through the point-defenses, and...
The cope some people have is incredible.
I'm pretty sure a large part of the reason the US has so many is because they're very useful when they're not fighting an enemy that's even close to as powerful militarily.
$800 billion and they can't even supply little Ukraine with enough artillery shells
I think the funniest part about this, is that thread is an ad/promotional stunt for some shitty mobile game

Its funny to gawk at this, i don't think China and the usa can decouple in less then 10 years econmy wise, the wining move for China is simply not to play, the usa is currently forcing its own check mate by decoupling too late to mater both these countries cant decouple fast enough china's population contraction & youth unemplyeement is too high and the s.o.e. can't soak up the extra bodys both these countries are gonna deal with Armageddon in the form of climate change and generational collapse in population due to the respective baby booms only one of them has competent leadership, the other one is set up with insane untaped resources on a island with two friendly and subordinated countries with a world spaning trade block that can't solve easily fixable problems because of pure unfettered, maybe even unhinged, rank? Zombie liberal centrism that holds no natural base yet holds a gun to every Americans head driving everyone insane. screaming shiting on the floor and diping your respective genitals in a deep fryer at a Wendy's after being traped in mojo dojo casa house of pure ideology
Thanks for listening to my red talk

Chinese demographic collapse is a bit more complicated than most people think because of its uneven nature. Even though the population is falling now, it will take a couple decades for the number of workers & highly educated people to fall.
Very true its gonna take more time for the process to yield. Vs the states where its already starting if we don't let more people in.
Edit: one very important peice of nuance is the sheer size of china's population will be a problem unto its self. We are talking 1 billion people vs the usas 334 million it will be more difficult because of that alone.
It's a problem. People seem to generally kind of despise children and don't want them.
I was gonna say "weird", but actually now that I think about it, this is kind of the trajectory that every single developed country has gone down after hitting a certain degree of consumption & education among the populace.
... We'll see how China handles the problem of modern social atomization. Probably will do things better than we do, but maybe not in line with what we might prefer.
