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?

Biden's intern tweets are more annoying than the annoying GOP "we're disappointed you aren't committing to help us win, loser" tweets and e-mails.

Did Obama's interns spam the shit out of twitter during his time like this?

"Folks, MandatoryLurk finds these tweets annoying -- Not surprising.

Folks -- only the most vile of A&H posters can put claims to dog whistles like this -- undermining Black, Brown, white, and Asian communities in the process.

Folks, let's be clear -- This is unacceptable. We must be better than this.

Folks -- Get -- The -- Fucking -- Vaccine
Already --"
 
There are issues with logistics but if a patchwork of countries can work together and solve them, there's a very good chance China can as well. Sorry not sorry to 'trust me bro' (mainly due to national security, both for my nation and yours) I can safely say that the logistics weren't the main concern when operating in Afghanistan. The kit that the Yanks had and used was impressive. Being woken up to the pounding thud of the AC130 and the buzzing of an apache raining lead on the heads of insurgents was the best alarm clock.

While no easy feat, food, water and even Internet was available 24/7 and we never went wanting for any of it. Then we have the shops, gyms and movie theatres set up for down time for the 'lads'.
The thing about any American led coalition having amazing logistics is that the American Military's historic strength is logistics. No one does it better than we do from WWII on. Remember when Stalin tried to isolate Berlin and we just airlifted shit in until he gave up? I know at one point we could have boots on the ground anywhere in the world in 24 hours and within 72 we could have major assets moving in and well supplied. China has a lot of manpower, but they've never seriously operated outside their own borders. Even their MRE suck, since their doctrine is built around them never being without access to field kitchens for more than 24 hours. Their suppression for their infantry squads are small automatic grenade launchers because their army of manlets isn't physical strong enough to hump proper LMGs. Their last serious military campaign was their army getting it in the pants from the Vietnamese in 1979.

They also lack the serious air assets we have. They don't have an AC-130 to sit on station and pound shit on demand, their air force is knock off Russian shit and not, from what I've seen, the actual decent Russian air support assets. I don't know that they have even a serious fraction of US airlift capability. I don't know if we know enough of their 5.8mm ballistics to know whether it's going to help them when the Afghanis start pounding them from the ridge next door.

And this isn't to shit on other NATO and allied logistics, it's just the continental US is a logistics nightmare, so we learned how to do it the hard way. But I want to watch the Chinks try.
 
Is Schwab saying is tick tock or something for Agenda 2030? With the Twitter handlers' sudden shilling for BBB?

Partly to get the normies used to hearing the term and associating it with positive things, cause we're going to be hearing it a lot from now on I feel like. Also it's to rub it in the faces of the people that are well aware of what it's a reference to but can't break through but to just a few people.

very good points and yeah, you guys can pretty much "command and conquer" a base set up in no time.

Maybe the chinks will suffer with logistics, it will be interesting to see, but will they need ac130s to pound the shit out of stuff if they can proactively level a city? Though I'm not sure what military gear they have or how effective it will be in the desert. Hard lessons were learned from Gulf War 1 that better prepared us for GW2. Have China ever operated in a desert?

And to emphasize this point: Logistics are everything in a prolonged fight. Without the ability to supply troops an army's fighting capability crumbles. Look at Germany in WW2 for a harsh example on what happens when your supply lines fail. The big reason the US Military fought so hard for those islands in the Pacific in WW2 was to establish and secure supply lines across the largest ocean on the planet.

Logistics aren't nearly as sexy as strategy or singular battles as far as wars go, but they are how wars are won.
 
The USA has spent the last 20 years feeding the Taliban as they fought them. China would have no problem rolling into a town, taking all the women to be slave wives, and then leveling it and poisoning the well. They don't want a population to rule over. They already have enough of that.

china went to africa and is making bank on colonialism. there was a video a few years ago of a chinese merchabt telling an african hes only there to take their money and when they run out hes going back home because africans are dumb and smelly. and the african responds by saying hes recording and the chinaman says he doesnt care because hes chinese and africans will still buy from him..

i think it was motorbike store.

China has a lot of desert territory, but outside of suppressing the Uyghers, I don't know that they've ever fought in one. The Tarim Basin and the Taklamakan Desert are technically a cold desert as well, with temperature swings between -20C and 40C. It's just stupid dry and the settlements are along the mountains at the edge of the desert. I'm sure they've trained for desert warfare, but Chinese have a huge lack of doctrinal experience. I think they've just pushed some Africans around, but a bunch of white guys in short shorts can do that.

I'm pretty sure if they want to level a city they'll have to do it the old fashioned way with arty, but I don't know that they have the Russians absolute obsession with flattening grid squares or the US's ability to deploy MLRS to do the same. Wiki's list, for all the good it'll do. It really comes down to the Chinese lack of operational experience. Their military is mostly designed as an internal suppression force, their last real fight was over 40 years ago with the Vietnamese. They technically won, but the primary objective was to force Vietnam out of Soviet Russia's sphere of influence. Everything I've read suggests that the Jungle Asians gave them the same pounding in the jungles they give everyone and Russia's lines had to run through China anyways. The modern PLA has never had to deal with real fighting and all their doctrines are very theoretical. They look impressive, but China's all about face and appearance and it's why they don't seriously go after Taiwan. It would be massively ugly and the Chinese would likely fail and their tiny yellow dicked ego's can't take that. Just wait for videos of a Han family's only son getting their heads chopped by Taliban who give no fucks.

My advisor in college wrote his dissertation on Italian logistics in WWII and always stressed just how important they were. Just ask anyone who has ever invaded Russia, and then realize that European Russia's dog shit roads and such might not be a bug and may just be a feature of Russian Paranoia. General Winter gets a lot of help from General Shit Roads and General Epic Fucking Mud. Then combine that with German overengineering everything and you have a perfect storm of broke shit.
 

This is a map of Asia. Do you see where Afghanistan and China is?


This is a topographical map of Asia. Do you see the sheer fucknut number of mountains in Afghanistan and Western China?

https://i.redd.it/77e1vlo9u2s11.png

This is a map of ongoing infrastructure projects in Asia. Note, this includes things like maintenance and repair. Notice how the stuff in Afghanistan is mostly Rail, and the vast swathe of fucking nothing in Western China and that there is very little in Afghanistan as a whole?


So here is a very basic question for you. How will China get the forces needed to enslave Afghanistan to there, how will they reinforce and resupply them, and how will they avoid that reinforcement and resupply being destroyed on the regular? Its easy to go "lol. china will just kill them all", its a lot harder to use your brain and actually think of basic logistics.
china pays afghans to take over bagram airbase for 99 years like they did port darwin in australia. promise to keep afghan national government in power teach ana how to run the base., begin anti taliban offensive, sacrifice a division, call up more chinesr soldiers and then sell the ANG chinese equipment because the crafty chinks taught the afghans how to maintain chinesr equipment instead of the american stuff. oh the AnG has no mone? chinese friends will loan country money, just pay back in natural resources.

soft power works just as well.

AC130's are a very large example of a modern military problem, time on Station. China can have all the Aircraft, all the Drones, all the weapons they want in the air, but if they can't keep them in the air, near where they are needed most, they won't help much. And China doesn't really have the operations history to show they can actually do that. America might not have learned a lot of lessons from the middle east, but what they did learn was how to turn anything into an airfield in six weeks, and how to turn two rocks and a bottle of water into a FOB.

All the "preemptive wipe out a city" stuff isn't really worth addressing. Not because its not possible, quite the contrary, but once you put "abject, shameless war crimes" on the standard operating table, most military doctrine goes out the window in favor of "How long will it take us to get to a 90% civilian casualty rate". And we all know China has some level of chemical and biological weapons programs. Absolute destruction is a completely different military problem from occupation and utilization.

I really don't want to wish ill on 160 million americans, but there's a serious part of me that wants this vaccine to just go nightmarish in six months. I want to see Kamala drop a smiling cackle at a press report over the developing side effects and try and justify it.

But really, this doesn't track for me. If my friend is worried about the coof, he can go get the vaccine. I'm not obligated, nor am I inclined to, put my life in additional risk for others, when the risk ratios are so low all around. Vaccines aren't gonna go supercancer as much as it would amuse me, but when we ran the math with my doc, I'm at twice the risk of vaccine issues than covid issues. So Kamala, please fuck off.

China- We want air superiority!

Xi- We have air superiority at home...

The air superiority at home-
