It’s hilarious that for decades China has been expanding their military trying to be strong.

“When the American Might meets the Chinese Might, the Chinese have the might” - Ching Chong Ho, some gay Chinese

Only for their entire infrastructure to crash because some real estate bro got an idea in 2012(?) that you will crumble the Chinese might by taxing them to death.
 
Already seeing a ton of news articles that are totally not opinion pieces lauding the heroism of Brave and Strong China in the face of Trump bullying

I've been seeing Chink apologists for a while. These people will always champion for the most retarded groups. Trump literally said he was going to impose tariffs. He's open to negotiations too. I'm not sad a bunch of boomers stocks are losing value if it means bringing jobs to the U.S. . The thing people don't seem to get is this is necessary kinda like getting a shot. Yes it's gonna sting a bit the alternative is worse. Imagine championing for the CCP though wtf.
 
Ever since reading about how much of a pedophile Bowie was, along with Jimmy Page and how Bowie used to fuck this 13 year old groupie and even lent her to Jimmy Page to take on tour as a fuck doll when Led Zep went on tour fucking ruined it all for me. They're all degenerates.
I am wondering what reading material you'd suggest about this. I know someone who thinks Page is obviously guilty of pedophilia but others are innocent because they're high off drugs all the time, ergo it doesn't count because they don't realize they're doing it, and I am not sure I buy that excuse for guys like Bowie or Freddie Mercury.
 
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
I would agree with you except that I think the reality is neither has the power to actually defeat the other. The USA can sink anything China uses to transport its troops to American soil and whilst the USA could probably land forces in China they'd never successfully subdue China. The USA would probably try some sort of decapitation strike on Chinese leadership which would result in things going nuclear.

You guys are wrong, no offense.

China has a glaring weakness. It’s been destroying its own farmland on top of prevailing westerlies blowing the Gobi desert eastward.

China would starve
 
"It's good to come in very messed up on some kind of pills every once in a while, and weekend nights usually see at least one elaborate, tearful fight or breakdown. If you're 18 you're over the hill.[4]"

"Led Zeppelin regularly frequented Rodney Bingenheimer's English Disco. NME writer Mick Farren observed, "They were number one on the groupie target roster, and Rodney Bingenheimer would be pandering to them as they sat in the back of his cupboard-sized discotheque getting their dicks sucked by thirteen-year-olds under the table."[5]"
Who the fuck were their parents? Now I'll never get out of my head that Whole Lotta Love is probably about fucking an 8th-grader.

Exactly lol I don't get what people are going on about. China's infustructure is actual garbage. I feel bad for the people who live there.
 
The people who told all those coal workers to just learn to code when ... Obama? Fucked over the entire American energy industry and several states (but they were red so fuck'm) can now be justly told to Learn to Mine Coal. I love this timeline.
The worst part about the "Learn to Code" people is that some of those miners where probably smart enough to get a low level IT certs and junk......and then they got replaced by infinite jeets anyway by the same people that told them to learn to code.

I 100% understand why the miners want to burn the whole system to the ground.
 
You know I didn't think china would have retaliated to such extent. It's almost like they are trying to kill trump.
Xi is backed into a corner. He made too many people disappear.

China was normalizing under Hu Jintao and Xi specifically reversed the process. Displacing the US was supposed to be the payoff.

Not reciprocating would be overt surrender. He’s fucked
 
Of your anecdotes, do they all regularly attend a church or church equivalent?
Marine Corps guy is Irish Catholic

“Oh yanno some miners might even have like a 90 IQ, they’re not THAT retarded”

You don’t understand. Some people like to be tangibly productive because of how they were raised, and most office jobs would leave them with imposter syndrome and existential guilt.

I could never ever work in an office. It’s not who I am.
 
The thread the front page post about the tariffs on China links to is filled with complete and total fucking morons.

Why didn’t fatty mcfatboy make his post here instead?
Because there would be 30 pages of redditfarms takes, and another 30 pages bitching that jersh even dared feature this thread again, causing the previous 30 pages of redditfarms takes. Which would cause another 30 pages of meta-discussion, null taggings, hhh taggings, a potential thread lock, and yet more shitflinging.

Probably all well before lunchtime.

If I recall correctly China is the biggest importer of oil, along with sizeable imports if US grain/raw resources/food stuffs.

Edit: to add to this all the US would have to do is blockade the Strait of Malacca in South East Asia.

Anecdotes from people I interact with

Mid 60’s former marine corps tank crew guy:
No concern that he’s close to retirement. Had kept his distance from first term Trump, practiced strategic ambiguity.

Wants to fuck China and Europe to death with tariffs, finally believes Trump will do things for the blue collar class

40s El Salvadoran immigrant:

Hates Trump, echoes liberal talking points. Mitigated because he hates trannies and because you can’t be from El Salvador without appreciating Bukele, so his Trump hatred is muted by proximity to Bukele. Had family members killed by gangs back home

Doesn’t talk about politics anymore, probably because he wants to be mad but struggles with it

50’s Male nurse practitioner:

Bemoans superficial investment losses, not too badly. Muses about long term improvements, changes subject to how he enjoys the arbitrage of visiting Canada, talks about ordering wagyu in a restaurant for $20 USD

Of all the people I interact with, no normal person is at full TDS

>US PG2 poster

Sorry, I think I missed it. What's the name of this sitcom?
