China is going to be so owned when they sink our $30 billion aircraft carrier with a missile that cost as much as a Toyota Corolla
The fucked up thing is the US using entire countries as human shields. Building out first strike missile batteries on populated islands isn't about winning the war, it's about trying to get China to launch a counter attack that kills civilians and creates generations of resistance to them in those islands.
They want to Balkanize China and cast 1.4 billion people back into the dark ages so they can exploit the disorganized labor that comes out of that.
I think China's very aware of this and has been building relationships basically everywhere to try and prevent this sort of blowback and basically ensure that a US led strike would be the death of American hegemony.
Universal healthcare, green new deal, free college: It's too expensive! :liberty-weeping:
Death, murder and violence: Money machine goes brrrrr! :brrrrrrrrrrrr:
the thing that makes me wonder is like wouldn't that just destroy the american supply chain
I've had a theory that soon, Maybe even under Biden, America will actually attempt to increase it's production capacity in a real way. This will make it more independent from China, but also might strike a blow to the growing leftist movement.
like that solves the problem yes but i don't think america can actually do it like and even if they did the time it would take for them to adapt to that would probably give china ample time to develop but maybe infinite money could make this work and american do have it
Yeah it would take years probably decades to set up American manufacturing again. Hopefully you're right.
Oh yes. Tightening the labor demand and raising wages would absolutely own the left. Please, daddy Biden, don't give us higher wages. We would hate that.
Not to mention bringing large scale industry back into the country would leave it ripe for union and labor organizing.
Yep, I don't know if you've ever tried organizing service workers, but it's not easy. Like herding cats.
Uhh yeah in order to justify war with China lmfao that's kinda the point I'm making
The world's bad shit is always a mix of visible structural issues and nazis hiding in positions of power. Take police for example. Crime shows constructing black people as criminal, the effectiveness of "tough on drugs" as a campaign strategy, the failure of prisons to solve the social issues they try to address, intergenerational trauma, the generational wealth gap, and the law of capital's growth applying to the carceral industry are all true, but what's also true is that police unions are full of straight up nazis.
I think theres a lot of merit to the operation paperclip conspiracy theory. I think us policy can be explained as "literally lebensraum"
:shocked-pikachu:
wait no, no one on this forum should be shocked by this at this point.
So how are things looking for China geopolitically? It seems like NATO has become even bolder with their military plans. Will this lead to anything or more saber rattling?
