If I understand the resident trolls correctly this means that the Russian strikes on Ukrainian infrastructure is a Ukrainian victory?

Didn't Putin break the deal they "already had?"

China did go full retard on COVID zero and the real estate industry crisis there is a big problem for them imo. But, China still controls a massive proportion of global manufacturing capacity including tech.

---

Yes but in a depression, imagine what an even 5% reduction in manufacturing would do. Now add that on top of the worldwide recession that is coming. China is authoritarian and promises to take care of its population. The government will be blamed if there are no jobs, no money, and no food.

It has scale, but the world is fluid. The US is moving to manufacture more things like microchips. There are other options for lower-level manufacturing (Vietnam, Bangeldesh, Africa, and Central America).

Plus, China can't maintain a scale-based power projection for much longer. In a few decades their demographic crisis is going to remove the workers necessary for this maintenance.

China's over-reliance on lower-level manufacturing, IP theft, and real estate, gave it a quick boost in economic ascension, but it has no long-term plan for development. By relying on the most lower-level stuff, they (1) are always at threat of those factories being moved elsewhere b/c the workers are fungible worldwide and (2) their margins are extraordinarily low and require insane scale to keep the total GDP going.

ukraine is not going to agree to any terms that do not include going back to the pre-2014 borders, atleast not at this point and i cant say i blame them. the war is on the verge of being won.

if the US was invaded 6 years after giving russia alaska, would you want us to give in?

why should ukraine?

and before you call me some war hungry liberal...understnad i am anything but. I didnt agree with us spending the money in ukraine as I beleived Europe should have footed the bill, but they are pussies as always. But i also do not beleive putin would have stopped at ukraine as this is nothing more than him trying to put the russian empire back together. He has stated that i the past.

with that in mind, we can spend a little now and have zero american deaths or we can spend a lot more later and lose lots of americans. Better to take out our biggest historical geopolitical foe on the cheap and with zero american lives.

as far as china goes, we could break them quickly and easily with economic sanctions and as proven in this war, Russian weapons and doctrine are no match for America and its allies if we decide we want to win. Now the hard part with china is understanding, if we have to break china....we are also fricked economically due to decades of terrible policy.

hopefully we get trump or desantis in 24 with a major majority in congress and we start having policies towards china and encourage manufacturing to move from there and back home or to mexico/SA if its things that the US public cant stomach environmentally or through simple pricing.

it would be a multi decade process but it was a multi decade process to start relying on china. This would serve multiple purposes and would increase the economy of Mexico and SA in general which stems the tide of immigrants and empowers those countries to start rooting out corruption and the cartels.

People keep trying to push for WW3 on here but the real threat is the Great Depression 2.0 across the world.

If that happens, all bets are off and all possibilities are on the table. Russia is a grain of sand in the sea of concern when the worldwide economy starts to slide. This is all because of debt but Covid really popped the bubble.

Ironic, considering China is going to feel it the most.

regime change is a fast track towards armageddon

so the only way there is no Armageddon in your book is capitulation to an invading aggressor?

That doesn’t seem like an appropriate response.

Also, there are several ways regime change could occur without Armageddon.

It raises a lot of questions they refuse to answer. Questions I've been asking for some time now.

i mean i dont agree with those in that thread but why the frick would they need moderation over wishing a foreign leader died?

would most in this thread be ecstatic if putin died?

i and many other conservatives in this thread may have agreed with you on certain positions when it comes to this war.....but dont get that shite twisted and think you are surrounded by a bunch of liberals who want to shut down free speach.

you can frick right the frick off with that shite. thats not the way to do things.
