Let's pretend for one moment that he does die before the election, just for the funsies. What happens then? Will the nomination revert to option number 2, aka Bernie Sanders? Or will his running mate automatically replace him just the way Vice-President is supposted to step in after the Big Man in the White House chokes on a piece of matzo? Does he even have a running mate yet?

Air transport of troops is very limited, very expensive, and also frequently dangerous. It's a -massive- limiter on men and materiel. How do you propose shipping in both the men and materiel to secure the area -and- the men and materiel needed to mine the place out? You can't just send in a flood of uyghers and expect results, you do need to defend them and supply them... as well as the men who are meant to defend them. If it were that easy, the U.S. would have done it.
As for the 'lol just kill them'. Just because China can do more bloodthirsty shit... doesn't mean they'll meet with much better success. The place sees a constant influx of new combatants, and guerrilla warfare is an absolute -bitch- to stamp out because you have unconnected cells everywhere. There is a reason that 'Vietnam-esque tactics'... failed in Vietnam. Short of total, complete genocide of the -entire populace- it doesn't work. And that then raises the issues of men and materiel... which having to ship in by air so severely limits it becomes a simple impossibility.
You aren't thinking of the actual logistics in motion. You are just handwaving the massive issues away.

Sounds like a plan. But seriously. They're completely food insecure. If you're willing to starve the populace, it's not a very hard fight.

If it were feasibly possible, yes. Maybe with a strong, well-infastructured land border. But via air alone? Hell, the U.S. had both Air and Sea supply and it still lost Vietnam. It had -less- issues with supply back then and lost.
As for food, they receive frequent land shipments from neighboring sympathetic factions. Because they are much smaller than a standing army, they need fewer supplies. China would need to completely lockdown the massively porous land border to have a chance of it working.

Joe wants "unity". No fucking way, now or ever.

President Biden marked the six-month anniversary of the deadly Jan. 6 assault on the U.S. Capitol with a call for unity, urging Americans to work with one another "on behalf of the common good to restore decency, honor, and respect for the rule of law." (No, Joe. You stole the election. - JS)
"This was not dissent. It was disorder. It posed an existential crisis and a test of whether our democracy could survive-a sad reminder that there is nothing guaranteed about our democracy," Biden said in a statement Tuesday.(Bullshit. - JS)
"But while it shocked and saddened the nation and the world, six months later, we can say unequivocally that democracy did prevail-and that we must all continue the work to protect and preserve it."(More bullshit. - JS)
"That requires people of goodwill and courage to stand up to the hate, the lies, and the extremism that led to this vicious attack, including determining what happened so that we can remember it and not bury it hoping we forget," Biden continued. "It requires all of us working together - Democrats, Republicans, and independents - on behalf of the common good to restore decency, honor, and respect for the rule of law." (Guess again, Joe. Not going to happen. - JS)
The House has set up a select committee to investigate what happened on Jan. 6, but Senate Republicans blocked the formation of a more formal bipartisan commission.
Partisan differences over the meaning of the day have divided Congress since some Republicans voted to throw out the results of the Electoral College in certain states just hours after the mob invasion. The pro-Trump mob believed the former president had been denied reelection because of fraud, even though there has been no evidence to support that supposition. (My ass. - JS)
Biden also used the anniversary to make another appeal for voting rights legislation, urging the federal government to "take the urgent steps needed to protect the fundamental right to vote."
And Biden offered condolences to the families of Capitol Police officers who perished as a result of the violence or suffered wounds in the attack. (Ashli Babbitt much, Joe? - JS)
Biden and first lady Jill Biden paid their respects to Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick, who died from injuries sustained on Jan. 6, when he lied in honor in the Capitol Rotunda in February.
Sicknick was one of five people who died in the assault in January. The developments represented a low point in American history and eventually led the House to impeach former Trump for a second time on a charge of inciting the insurrection at the Capitol. Trump continues to falsely claim that he won the 2020 election against Biden. (He did. Dems stole the election. - JS)
Biden has regularly appealed for unity since taking office 14 days after the events at the Capitol and regularly talks about the need for the U.S. to prove that democracy can function for the American people in order to win out over the world's autocrats.(Democracy has long since failed in the USA, sadly. - JS)
"Together, let us demonstrate to ourselves, and to the world, the enduring strength and the limitless capacity and goodness of who we are as Americans," the president said in the statement Tuesday. (No faith or trust in government/media/law enforcement/judiciary at ANY level any more. - JS)

I will apologize for the tone. It was improper. I'm just getting very tired of explaining the logistical situation to a bunch of actual pro-china, pro-communist bastards and I'm letting that leak in to what should be a calmer discussion. My bad, my fault. Sorry.

Especially since "unity" to them is "bend the knee to us, and we still won't forgive you anyway."
Even if somehow, let's pretend that every single Republican or Independent in the US became Democrat over night. Do you think they would be happy? Of course not. In fact, I'm willing to bet almost nothing changes. They will still say that white cis male Democrats are oppressors and black people need gibs. That biological women need to check their privilege and suck the lady dicks.

It's damn weird that they're treating this with a more serious tone than the Vegas mass shooting, trying to invoke a real 9-11 mood.
Certain types complained pro-2A use it as an excuse to have rocket launchers to hunt deer with, and are actually cowards who won't use it to defend their countrymen or challenge the government. Now the same people are mocking the Assault Nazis for having done something so stupid and useless, even though unlike blmtifa they went after the correct source of corruption - the government. So I suppose the public proved they really aren't worth protecting and that it's pointless to fight back unless you're willing to be a dancing pig for performative non-issues.

My scooby snacks for a horror rating.
Somebody tell me this isn't gonna actually happen cuz if some government weasel shows up at my house? Imma freak out and refuse to let them jab me. No way in hell. I'll take to social media, spread their ugly faces all over the place and look for a lawyer who's willing to go pro bono.
You can't bully anyone into taking a shot against their will, especially a protected class like me (young woman). I know I'm white but a lil woke talk mixed in with my complaints... say how triggered I am and I'll be golden.
(In reality, I need to get ammo for my gun and pray I don't need to use it.)

This isn't as shadowy as it seems on its face. Anyone seeking to enter politics, engage in politics, or be around politics bands together like this and network heavily. You can find dozens of groups just like it. It's nothing conspiratorial, it's just networking efficiently and banding together under a loosely shared set of values and goals. Now, it -can- be informational, if you can find out what those values and goals are. Going off their description, it's a group of left-wing beliefs and values about security and national policy.

My wife and I both got vaccinated. We’re old enough that we’re done having kids and my folks are old enough with enough co-morbidities that them catching it could be a problem. If this wasn’t the case, we might have calculated the risks differently.
That being said, if they come to the door and offer the vaccine that’s not really a big deal in my mind (assuming HIPAA still applies, they’ll have no idea if your vaccinated or not). If they try to bully you into taking it, that’s another entirely.
If you run the risks and decide you don’t want to take it, that’s justifiable. Like I said, if we were planning to have more kids, we probably would’ve sat it out.
The reality is that pretty much anyone who wants the jab has had it at this point. I’m not really sure what this is supposed to accomplish.
