Hope this is ok for the thread as it is written by Ray Lewis, the greatest AMERICAN football Linebacker and possibly defensive player of all time
Pretty interesting if they're military advisors, but pretty boring if they just showed up to fight for whatever personal reasons.
 
I genuinely think if it came to an actual war, china would win if it became a war of attrition. The US population I am convinced doesn’t have the stomach for the type of war that we have seen in Ukraine, and the US equipment while advanced, costs way too goddamn much to be used in a prolonged engagement. China at least has the ability to send endless meat to the grinder
One missile to the Three Gorges Dam. That's it. War over.
 
Again, illegals are not per se barred from obtaining EADs from the government. If they have a valid EAD, they can legally work.
Yes they can legally work in a country they are illegally occupying the whole concept is horse shit and the "good ones" are just a trojan horse for the bad ones the entire idea was dreamt up by bureaucratic fart huffers they all go back as they should and the current administration is ceasing to maintain this legal fiction as it should
 
Nigger how any war ends up is all theoretical, people thought Ukraine would be done in a week
Journalists are not "people", anyone with a brain knew that Russian invasion of a country directly beside Russia would not end quickly. Similarly I don't buy Chinese propaganda of men marching in perfect unison. We already know how China does in a war which is ultimately why they posture, not fight.
 
Someone would have to be retarded to think it would be a good idea to file taxes using someone else’s SS number, and then submitting that as evidence to the government.
What's happening is that an illegal uses a fake/stolen SSN to fill out the paperwork so they can legally be hired and then claim no withholding so the employment and SS taxes aren't being paid on their behalf. Then the real holder of that SSN owes the taxes. Sometimes they don't even find out until many years later or even worse when it's time to collect SS benefits and they're denied.
 
Yeah this is what I’m still confused about, minimum wage increases labor costs by such a ridiculous degree it makes absolutely no goddamn sense even with tariffs to come back to the US. That isn’t even getting into EPA, OSHA, etc. I mean everyone can say people would benefit from decent paying factory jobs, but the regulations in the US make it close to impossible for these companies to cut corners(which they don’t like) on things like quality control and worker safety. The US population wouldn’t tolerate the shit they pull in the third world even ignoring the Pennies they pay these chinks
If we sail a boat over and kidnap some people then make them work for free it would be EVEN CHEAPER
 
Input costs are the sole reason manufacturing was offshored to begin with. Labor almost always being the highest input cost.


Recognizing reality doesn't make someone a "CCP bitch", putting your fingers in your ears and burying your head in the sand does.
All that advancements and yet they are deathly afraid of tarrifs.

An actual honest to god war with China would be a pacific island hoping adventure similar to the pacific theatre of WW2, not a trench war like the Ukraine. You can’t build trenches in the sea.

The US has all kinds of funny bases across Pacific Ocean while China has also been building theirs. In addition both countries have carriers although the US has a lot more of them. So in addition to bases you know are there there are essentially mobile air bases surrounded by a bunch of other ships that you have no idea where they are.

And the fun thing about island hopping is that you actually win those by technological superiority since at the end of the day there’s only so much you can fit on a boat or an island. Part of the reason why the US did so well in the pacific during ww2 was because a single marine was far more deadly than a ‘nip because of the m1 rifle.
 
Tell me do you also believe that Kim ill sung also invented the hamburger and was born under a rainbow?
It is actually true about their ship building, but it doesn't imply what people think it does.

Shipping freighters are one of the easiest vessels to build, a big tub with an engine on the back. This is especially true if the crew have no quality of life standards.

The idea that this capacity can be immediately turned into submarines, destroyers, carriers, or any kind of blue water navy is absurd. Guns, stealth, detection, advanced electronics, and all sorts of other complex things are required to make functional warships, even the simpler ones. It's like claiming you can turn your lawnmower factory into a car factory because hey, they both have wheels!

They're making gains on building naval ships but not that fast.
 
Input costs are the sole reason manufacturing was offshored to begin with. Labor almost always being the highest input cost.
China was added to the world trade organization in 2000, if wages were a major part in moving manufacturing then why wasn't a majority of manufacturing moved elsewhere beforehand. Again a 100% tariff costs car manufacturers 5 times more than a 20 dollar an hour salary. Especially because america is literally the number 1 buyer of cars so manufacturers are paying out the fucking ass to ship and wont see much profits.

So let me give you a quick rundown of my to be fair biased opinion on military technology. Russia and the CCP exaggerate or fabricate a capability, US defense contractors love this and then take the dishonest starting point and expand upon it with additional dishonesty. This is pushed hard through lobbying at politicians who are happy to take those free trips to Hawaii to discuss these imagined threats. Then hundreds of millions to billions of dollars go into developing a countermeasure to something that likely didn't exist in the first place.

Combine this with Chinese/Russian military compensation which is hilariously bad. This leads to an even worse culture of corruption where the tail end of the cold war they were selling warehouses of munitions. On the smaller scale today you have 50,000 dollars for body armor which started at 100,000 and ends up being 15,000 dollars of nonsense that only equips half the troops.

If you want to get a picture of the Chinese military culture look at their peacekeeping operations. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2...p-south-sudan-rebels-raped-aid-workers-report. I'm a biased American with some years in the defense industry for sure so take that into consideration but I don't worry about other militaries unless they start dropping nuclear weapons. I'll admit though that drone warfare is horrific and terrifying.
 
The United States has approximately 800 military bases globally, infiltrated hundreds of sovereign elections and financed foreign death squads, and has used surveillance on allies and its own citizens.
Nobody fucking cares.

EVERY flag of EVERY nation worth a shit has blood all over it. From the fucking Land of Shitty Teeth & Fog to the Boxhead Empire to the Faggot Frag Factory...

ALL of them.

And stop acting like the US is the one who fucked up the world. That shit went down when the European powers carved up the world in like 1600.

Gotta give it to the Eurofaggots, they managed to convince everyoen that their problems are the fault of a 250 year old country instead of them.

Just look at their MRE's or standard issue rifle. They're a dogshit paper tiger and always will be. Their only positive is the lack of care for life and ability to maybe zerg rush things. Armchair general nonsense but I always heard that if you fucked up their 3 gorges dam, it'd completely decimate the whole country. It's weird they seemingly have a push to win button built in.

Wow your telling me it's human nature to fight each other over various reasons and that every country no matter how big or small has blood on its hands? I never would've guessed, in all seriousness though is this guy a bot? Like his account I sent even 2 weeks old and he only ever posts on this thread. Makes me wonder if he is actually a bot.
