The last year they've been going non-stop with the anti-China shit. Now they're dropping all pretext and are just running stories like "So when we gonna start war with China, fwends? UwU"

I don't care what you think about China. This shit is stupid. We don't need war in the middle of a pandemic, even if it just ends up being a trade war. We'd lose that war. Call me a paranoid freak but this kind of shit terrifies me.

      Hitler didn't invade Russia in the Winter. After years of preparation, Operation Barbarossa (the invasion of Russia) commenced in the middle of June 1941. The problem for Germany was, Russia is so goddamn big that they could keep on pulling back without being forced into a decisive battle, and as the months passed, the supply lines grew longer, and the days grew colder and shorter, it ultimately turned into a quagmire. The same thing happened to Napoleon. The French began their invasion of Russia in the latter days of June as well.

      From my understanding though, the Germans had no choice (aside from, you know, keeping to themselves and not being a genocidal menace to humanity). They needed the USSR's oil resources to sustain their war machine, otherwise their war effort would prove hopeless.

        The world population is estimated to be 7.8 billion. China's population is estimated to be 1.4 billion. That would make China 17% of the world population. The US for comparison makes up 4% of the world population.
