Just wondering - has China anything to gain from promoting Antisemitism and White nationalism/separatism within the US?

Theoretically they could do it in order to fuel infighting among the American national population? A more divided United States may perhaps benefit them. Not like they have to worry about such things backfiring for them domestically.

Isn't basically all of that meant for civilian shipping? China has to keep pumping out ships in order to keep it's foot on the back of world shipping. Do most of their shipyards even have capability to build or service Navy vessels?

Lets put it this way..the Bohai shipyard alone, which produces china's nuclear submarines has 6 times tonnage capacity of the entire american shipbuilding capacity, and china has several more of these military capable shipyards

Fortunately they're stuck using Chinese steel to build those rust buckets to their famously-strict safety and reliability standards.

My dawgie dawg dog, listen up. 3,000 people biffed it in downtown Manhattan and we spent 3 decades in the sand trying to make ourselves feel better

If fucking LA, New York, and Chicago get glassed day 0 by cargo ships with JDAMS on them there is no counterattack but nukes, we sign our own species death warrant to save our own ego.

We have been outmaneuvered militarily, we spent 7 decades fighting fuckers in flip flops and now our idea of warfare is fucked in the extreme. Our numbers are meaningless, mass troop concentrations are tactical nuke sites, CSG's are now target rich environments for drone swarms, and to top it off our cybersecurity is 3 decades behind the enemy.

Every time I see this I simply point out that before every war people said that the American troops couldn't win anything.

Every time I see this I simply point out that before every war people said that the American troops couldn't win anything.

The entire history of America (especially in war) can comfortably be summarized as "a bunch of broke, stupid, pussy Yankees shitting themselves, doing nothing, and then somehow winning (or at least not losing) anyway because everybody else on the other team is even more broke, dumber, and/or even bigger pussies."

It's obviously gonna change against China though because china numba wan.

EDIT: clarification, typos.

you think this was all Gen z and the zoomers fucking everything up or did 60 years of not-give-a-shit lead to a fucked up world?

I bet if that was broken down to functionally illiterate that number would be a lot lower.

Don't want to use a condom because muh feels and don't want to use any birth control? Well then you're rolling the dice and you're a fucking idiot for complaining when it comes up snake eyes.

What engaging in premarital sex does to a mf. How about you just be sensible and track your wife's cycle? You can fill her womb as much as you like so long as she has a regular cycle and you pick the right days. Never had a pregnancy scare, never used a condom except the very first time.

It is how they hypnotize the goyim to do their bidding.

Talking with some people on YouTube about the ban on snacks and soda sales with SNAP another issue popped into my head. Not only will there probably be an impact on the company's profits that produce the snacks and soda which will lead to people losing their jobs there will also be an impact on the US agricultural industry. These snacks and drinks are produced with corn and potatoes two of the biggest crops in the US. If the companies lose profits due to lack of sales, they will also stop producing as much since they don't have enough people buying their products anymore. This means they won't be buying the stuff needed to make their products. This is going to affect American farms as well.

If anyone remembers from Trumps first term in office when he went after China over trade one of their responses was to stop buying soybeans and corn from US farmers. It was so bad Trump spent a week assuring the farmers that the US would protect them by subsidizing their loss in income. Basically, giving the farmers welfare for their crops that China stopped buying. It's going to look pretty stupid if the Republicans have to come out and talk about how they are subsidizing US farmers because they are seeing a decrease in profits because the snack food and soda companies stopped buying their products. Like I said most of the products are made with corn and potatoes. Corn chips popcorn potato chips. Even Cheetos and cheese curls are made with corn. Then you have the soda. What do they put in the soda? Corn syrup made with corn. This is going to have a wide ranging impact. The soda companies won't need to buy as much corn syrup anymore and the people who make the corn syrup won't need as much corn. You can see where this is going.

The only reason why the snack food and soda companies haven't come out bitching is probably because they don't want to talk about how much of their profits come from SNAP recipients. 5% would be bad but it could be even more. Like 20-25% of their profits could come from welfare.

I don't think the Republicans have any idea of the size of the shit pile they just stepped in.

Considering you can get coke and frito lays in virtually any country in the world, their profits will be fine. SNAP is not as big a deal as your concern trolling makes it out to be.

Well that isn't going to work if it really is their plan. That never works.

Once China actually tries to do something big enough where the media can't hide failure, expext things to change. They have had the easiest ride the last 30 years and are sniffing their own farts.

China is arrogant and thinks its the center of the world. Smart went out the window a while ago.

You do realise that farmers and producers can be flexible with their volumes and products, no? It blatantly shows that you never set foot on a farm nor a factory. Honestly, get a fucking job and talk one-on-one with a production manager because your perspective is created from being inexperienced and the having the hubrus to think that arguing with Youtube commentors (lmao) serves as a good source of information about the industry.

If you want to be informed about the soda industry you can read the following basics (big reads, but you can just read the interesting parts):
1. Carbonated Soft Drinks Formulation and Manufacture (link) (About production and logistics)
2. A rapid review of stocking and marketing practices used to sell sugar-sweetened beverages in U.S. food stores (link) (About pricing, marketing and logistics)
3. A content analysis of the aims, strategies, and effects of food and nonalcoholic drink advertising based on advertising industry case studies (link) (Marketing)

Really all taking soda and chips off SNAP means is that people will have to buy it with their own money. Like everyone else. The free ride is over. It won't affect the companies at all

I'm pretty confident this statistic is mostly from migrants and not American children, which is why it ballooned at the same time we admitted 100 million brownoids

So, you're telling me you're a NEET who's diet is processed corn snack food. All you do in this thread is simp for corn and porn. Let this song tell you what to do.

Wasn't that because of a combination of factors? Mainly their failure to target US carriers during pearl harbor, and superior US manufacturing capacity?

Who outproduced who? The Japanese entered the war with much more experience than the Americans

There was many points involved but having fucked up boat configurations such as half carriers and getting waffle stomped in the battle of midway is more of problem then their reliance on their Chinese holdings for the resources to pump out shit ships.
