Do you feel they have a mentality of numbers equating to might? Like a swarm of ants trying to collect a crumb.
This is how the chinese, and most asian cultures, do everything. Throw a shit load of darts at the dart board without aiming and hope one will stick.

Thinking problem? Train tens of thousands of people in that field and throw them at 500 different random interpretations at the problem and hope one of them works. Don't think about it just do it and do it a lot.

Need shit built? Have millions of people start building. Where? With what? For what purpose? Stop asking questions.

Being invaded? Throw millions and millions of people armed with whatever weapons you can find at the enemy until they leave.

Nothing has changed really.
 
They have a navy. A big one. If they can control the seas they can attack and isolate a lot of countries. Then use ground forces like the Zerg.
He who controls the air controls the battlefield. The Us has 3 of the top 4 worlds largest airforces. It will be fine.
 
Why is the GOP color red and the Democrat color blue?

One may think it'd be the other way around because of the association of red with communism and socialism.

:thinking:
Like @Candlelight Desolation said, the Republicans let their political opponents control the narrative.
Red has always been the color of leftists. It became associated with the Republican Party in the late 90s because the Democrats didn't want the mask to slip.

Doesn't work well overseas. Even if you can ship them all there the real problem is logistics, even chinese need to eat something and they need some kind of ammo even for human wave tactics.

This worked in korea and their mainland wars because they could drive trucks there, much harder to do by ship.

Also "wave management" has gotten a lot better since korea. The didn't have a-10 warthogs and spectre gunships back then. Even third world shitholes have much more resilient lmgs than we had in korea, and a lot more of them.
 
One hilarious thing to me was their response to the Golden Dome announcement. They really didn't like Trump making a nuke shield. Gee, I wonder why?
In their defence, the defacto rule of the past 70, certainly the last 30, years, has been MAD. Everyone has more nukes than anybody else can reasonably shoot down, and everyone has second strike capabilities, therefore everyone has incentive not to launch the first strike.

Building the ability to defend against nukes means the USA no longer has to worry about being hit back and could feasably nuke other countries. In that sense china would have a point... but....

That entire balance was also predicated on the assumption that world powers wouldn't completely fucking disregarded the international order system which china has wiped their ass with every day for the past 30 years in more ways than I can count, and russia gave the middle finger to when they invaded ukraine.

If you want to use a "we should all get along" approach you can't chimp out every chance you get.
 
Everyone thought it was /pol/ that would genocide the jews, instead it's /lgbt/. ngl I'm surprised myself.
I've been telling people for years the the left projects what they are on to the right, so every time those leftists were screeching about nazis they were basically giving everyone a heads up that they are actually nazis

I saw a guy once suggest it's because Fascism (see: Franco and interwar Germany) was the one thing really effective against Communism/Anarchism. Also political bogeymen reasons.
 
Maybe it's just where I live, but there are no healthy looking white children anywhere. The kids running around and going to the corner store and going to the park and mall are all broccoli haired mullato abominations in pajama pants and crocs. The only white child I've seen was my coworkers son and she's a fat single mother.... it's pretty obvious he's never gonna procreate.
Healthy white people avoid living around "diversity." It's just trailer trash and other rejects that will tolerate third worlders around them. This is consistent globally. As the diversity of a community increases, the more racially segregated communities form. LA, for example, consists of white, asian, black, and hispanic neighborhoods. It's pretty clear on a map.

It's all part and parcel of high trust, ethnically homogeneous nations being annihilated by multicultural globalism. Whether you look at France, the UK, Canada, etc., it looks the same way. Third worlders show up, shit up an area, white population flees, country becomes segregated. Asians are just as harmful to white countries too. By outcompeting white children in schools by merit of overworking their kids to death in pursuit of white collar jobs, white students are forced to work harder to stay at the top of the school's academic ladder. It's a big reason why covertly discriminatory private schools are the way to go when educating your kids once your area gets diverse.

I'd like to see the autistic home school crowd stop being retarded and just make their own legitimate private schools with strict membership limitations. Hold it out of your church if you must, but never let the diversity in.

Rest easy soldier, we may not have agreed in life but death makes comrades of us all.

He may have been lots of things but let us remember, in his passing, the young American Soldier that was in Kunu-ri when it fell on its ass and got a little hardware for his trouble.

These last 10-20 years have polarized the hell out of our politics but moments like a passing are perfect times for reflection at how things got here, Ill tell you one of the BIG ways it did, we lost our ability to see the people we disagree with as people, good people not perfect ones, at the end of the day.
I'll have to admit, I give much more respect to any politician which has seen the actual hell of combat. They know what true pain and suffering is, and are more down to earth with the common man as a result.
 
Also can the mods threadban this retard? I'm all for people with different opinions coming in here and discussing things but this fag literally shits up the thread with inane bullshit like this when someone disagrees with them.
You WILL read his Andrew Tate-tier nigger takes. You WILL suffah his diatribes about Trump losing the coomer/NEET demographic, you WILL get a headache as he pontificates on the necessity of porn to uphold civil society.

The Chinese Navy has very little in terms of blue water capabilities, ESPECIALLY in terms of proper capital ships. There's a reason why they're desperately trying to get as many ships as possible for landing crafts and are still trying to fix their aircraft carrier. The best they can do is try to make up for their lack of offshore ability with the threat of submarines.

gotta go fast is literally the new missile penetration strategy with China and Russia, so the US is actually catching up here
Hypersonics is such a bullshit term that means literally nothing. Patriot can hit hypersonics, it was built to hit hypersonic weapons, because most big boy threats have been hypersonic for a long while now. What people really are worried about are smart, hypermanuverable weapons like it's fucking Ace Combat, of which not even the US can get working at hypersonic speeds thanks to the current limitations of material science. That said, there is some worry about extremely low flying air-breathing RAM jet type hypersonics. These can be a legitimate threat to ships, albeit the current mechanisms in place can, theoretically, deal with them. Doubly so since stealth-hypersonics are so ludicrously expensive and nearly impossible for everybody NOT the US to even think about trying.

Being invaded? Throw millions and millions of people armed with whatever weapons you can find at the enemy until they leave.
Don't forget the Chinese tradition of cannibalism. I don't know why China is cursed, but it is.
 
The last war China fought was in 1979 to stop Vietnam from toppling the Khmer Rouge, which the Chinese failed to do. They have no modern military doctrine. At least the US and Russia have had a few major wars to test their shit out. I don't know if half of China's hardware even functions, let alone is useful in any real warfighting capacity. Their only advantage is pure manpower (not so useful if their gear is shit, their leaders inexperienced, and their country doesn't even have enough food to feed everyone) and nukes, which Trump is trying to counter with Golden Dome.

Fun fact: the US has had anti-ICBM systems for a long time now. The difference with Golden Dome appears to be using satellites to augment missile defense and also combat new hypersonic missiles (gotta go fast is literally the new missile penetration strategy with China and Russia, so the US is actually catching up here). People are assmad because the project is a giant subsidy to Elon Musk, but I don't really care if Musk gets rich if the system actually works. No one pissed and moaned about Raytheon getting tons of cash to design our current anti-ICBM systems, which made them a lot of money and also work.
IIRC, even though we do have anti-ICBM systems, we have so few of them that they would be ineffective in an actual nuclear shootout. I'm guessing the golden dome system would involve building much more of them.
