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?
 
This AUKUS idea is great and all, but any security alliance in the Pacific that doesn't include Japan, South Korea, and, ideally, the Philippines seems pretty toothless. It's a good idea to exclude New Zealand, I think that they've been penetrated by the Chinese on all levels. Why we don't make overtures towards Vietnam I have no idea. Cam Ranh Bay is a great place for a naval/air detachment and an electronics listening post. I guess that would make too much logical sense.
Wasn't copmala just in Vietnam? I'm guessing a lot of those countries simply don't trust the administration enough to sign on at this point. Cause any such security treaty will be a direct challenge to china.
So, the issue of openly courting Vietnam is a Chinese cultural thing. See, the Chinese love having buffer states and back in the Vietnam war, there was reported issues between the Russians and the Chinese over the Russians supplying North Vietnam. The Chinese didn't mind there being a North and South Vietnam, as the North could act as a buffer to the non-communist South. Same thing with Korea, really, the North's value is a buffer state. They absolutely do not want American troops in a country directly on their border like that. If you've ever wondered why Mongolia exists as a country, it's fundamentally this.

Openly connecting with Vietnam would make the Chinese flip their shit in a non-posturing way, especially since the Vietnamese basically gave them a class in "Welcome to the Jungles, motherfuckers," in 1979. I've heard Vietnam has made quiet inquires about buying military equipment from us, if America and Vietnam start openly talking about security treaties? That's when you should start firing up your Inkspot albums.
 
There is a clear picture of a North and South divide in California.

Also for a candidate that entered in late, didn't run on being the first nigger in charge of California and pretty only known in based black man bubbles, Larry Elder did real real great.

Nevada county is a disgrace tbh, they've been trending blue since going with Her in 2016 and it's driven almost entirely by affluent white liberals colonizing Northern California. I figured Placer county would be the first to fall but it's still hanging on barely.
 
insanely impractical.

there are three main centers of advanced semi-conductors that currently exist in the world. Taiwan is the most advanced (with a, frankly, ridiculous focus of fabs to the point they have to carefully ration the water they get from monsoon seasons, so they can keep it all cooled and running), South Korea comes next with Samsung and the USA with Intel was in a slump recently, though it's probably gonna return to form soon. it's been explained, in depth, that to move just ONE of the fabrication plants would take years, let alone all of them that are located on that island. the equipment inside of them is also huge and bulky and that's just those plants and not even all the local (and quite specialized in its own way) industry that supports it. TSMC from Taiwan has started working on their next fabs in Arizona...but yea, those take years to construct as well.
I wasn't serious. Cool breakdown though.

After afghan I was hoping the UK would tell Biden to fuck off.

Strange for the Brits to leave out their own colonies though.

Do not like, one bit. CanNZ over yankz


Fwiw. Johnson just sacked a load of mps and reshuffled his cabinet. Has the Milley thing caused a load of chink assets to be ousted?
Plot twist: South Africa is suddenly included for shits and giggles.

I prefer the Russians to the Chinks any day, any time. I bet most of this anti-Russia propaganda is coming from the Chinks and their lackeys. The Russians are not communists and they will never be communists again. The Chinks are commies, and they are the worst kind of commies at that.
Between the two of them I prefer the Russians too, but:
Japan allying with China would be akin to Palestine allying with Israel. They have centuries of bad blood between them. Back when Japan was getting hit by supertyphoons I remember one Chinese person I was working with remarked 'good, fuck those goddamn invadahs' and that seems to be a pretty common perspective among the Chinese. Japanese for their part aren't much more friendly to the idea of China since they remember China fucking with their Korean ambitions in the fuedal era, etc. So I don't think china and Japan would be a risk.
But driving Japan to Russia could give Russia more leverage against us and a valuable pacific ally. Russia might not be communist and right now they seem to be more in a sleeping bear stage, but I still don't exactly trust them enough to welcome the thought of sending important strategic alliances into their sphere of control.
If Biden managed to fracture the Indo-Pacific alliance the US has with the other countries there by excluding them, and it drives them to an adversary, that's going to be one of the more lasting harmful effects of his presidency because the effects will ripple out internationally instead of just be contained to our own domestic stupidity.

I think China's more legitimately fascist nowadays than communist, but I suppose that's just splitting hairs at this point.

The Japanese are quietly making their own moves to court Vietnam right now, they might even transfer them some ships.

At the same time, it makes Taiwan an even bigger geopolitical risk- that there is this global economic lynchpin lying just off the shores off Mainland China.

At least having a backup is a necessity in this time and age, as the current political stalemate is increasingly considered unacceptable by the CCP.

If Taiwan were to fall into Chinese hands, these facilities and knowledge, combined with the number of new facilities under construction in the Mainland would likely place China at the forefront of semi-conductor manufacturing.

Which would be quite fitting considering the rise of communism came from the focal point of fascism in the same century as well.
WW1 Germany straight up funded Lenin's revolution as a way to get Russia out of the fight, and the virus of communism spread.
Now the formerly fascist states are turning communist, the former communist states are turning fascist, and the former free states are just fucked.

I was wonder who the fuck lives in those areas east of San Diego and close to Arizona.

I hadn't seen that. It seems like the region is starting to look at Japan their major regional power, which is interesting given the history of the region. I know South Korea has been talking about carriers now that Japan is refitting their helicopter destroyers into Totally Not Carriers. I do want to take a moment and point out that as controversial as it's development has been, the F-35 is what's enabling some of these counties to seriously think about their own baby carriers and even that version of it is superior to what China can actually field not the propaganda stuff they tell you is superior.
