Still waiting for you to point out a post where I wasn't critical of Biden.

Sucks when I frick up your narrative doesn't it?

One thing is for sure: China is playing the Long Game, and most are asleep at the wheel or on the take.





As I stated several pages back, China does not have unlimited time for its Long Game. They have a looming demographic crunch, an economy built on smoke, mirrors and wishful thinking, an uncertain post-Xi transfer of power, restive minorities they can only oppress so much before boiling over, a middle class being bought off with trinkets to forget about the lack of political freedom, and a huge underclass that has reaped none of the benefits of China's modernization. Any of these could be the first domino to fall.

Russia is in for a steady, inexorable decline. China is more likely to have a swift implosion nobody saw coming except those who knew how to read the signs.

Should be easy if I'm such a Biden supporter.

Yet you've been unable to do this rather simple thing.

Why?

Bro, you were posting about comparison to Hitler earlier in this thread. I'm glad Biden is your Churchill/FDR.

Did you tell us when you and docwhatshisname are getting drinks?

You mean the thread where I call Biden a potato and shite over every single aspect of his domestic policies?

Your bitch arse is no different than the freaks on the poliboard or the freaks on DU.

You have your team, and you will not suffer anyone straying from the team.

Enough people don't realize this.

China certainly has patience in their foreign policy but political reality comes for everyone eventually.

The CCP is evil and I wish the leadership nothing but the literal worst things in life and the afterlife if it exists.

He's hysterical about everything. It's like he's splitting but about geopolitics. Maybe he does it in his personal life too



I'm going to say this with some trepidation. But underneath it all I think OML is mostly good people.

He can get wound up and overly dramatic at times and perhaps even paranoid at his worst. But I think at his heart he has good intentions and sometimes has an unusual and interesting perspective. I outright disagree with him and his politics often (and his fan fiction on the movie board). But I don't think he's motivated by malice as much as he is motivated by positive things he cares about.

Just that one thing is a big thing to me. Too many people are fundamentally motivated more by what they hate than what they love. I like people motivated by what they love so long as they don't allow it to make them tear down what other people care about.

Just reading this thread is a lesson in that frankly. The worst parts of this discussion are when people get bogged down in partisan team sport (e.g discussion about Trump, Biden, or Paul) instead of the conflict on the ground.

This is naïve at best though. What makes this on the ground conflict different than others?

Our country has indirectly sponsored destabilization efforts in other countries for decades. There generally haven’t been 1000+ pages talking about those atrocities. Why not?

Is the CCP inherently evil or just those in power pulling the strings?
I feel like the Russians top to bottom have shown us they are inherently evil. Raping and pillaging like animals. They appear to lack character.
