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?
 
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.
That's the problem, you are looking at them as an adversary, and I'm saying they're not our enemy; in fact, they are China's natural adversary and making the USA hostile to Russia works in their favor, not ours.

Im not convinced this entire thing isn't being done at the behest of China themselves.
"But Sithis! That's stupid! Why would China create their own NATO opponent in the Pacific?"
Think about it. Why else would South Korea and Japan, nations which have been fairly firm allies of ours since the mid 20th century, be excluded from such an important thing?
And why are the US, the UK and Australia the 3 prime? It can't be some retarded anglo heritage circlejerk.
China though? Contrary to appearances China could benefit immensely. Assuming the theories that China has managed to infiltrate high ranking government access in the US are correct and considering the shit the Aussies have been dealing with lately, it could be that China is wanting this done to give the international appearance that they are being 'checked' while realistically they'll have what amounts to editorial privilege over the de facto intelligence/military defense operation in the Pacific, and they won't even have to spend that much money on it.
It also ensures some relative security from the countries in the area that actually do oppose them, ie Japan, Vietnam, south Korea etc because we will control the flow of "intelligence" to those countries too.

What I'm trying to convey is that I've learned to suspect Biden of malevolence more than incompetence.
 
The Russians are not communists and they will never be communists again.
While they'll never be communist again there are some that do look to the soviet union in the same way that Americans look to their 1950s. Or as one Russian fella I know put, it was the soviet union that industrialized the nation, got them into space and had massive sway and respect over the globe with their status as a super power. Russia is a bit keen on re-establishing its self again.

Also if the US was out of the picture, China and Russia would be at each other, it's not a matter of if but when.

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.
The F35 (and F22 for that matter) have been bashed for the wrong reasons for so long I'm sure it's either a Chinese propaganda stunt to discourage international interest in it or or an American propaganda stunt to downplay it's true capabilities. I'm sure in a few years the F35 will be concidered the same way as the F4 was in its heyday.

'Mu' Is the Latest COVID Variant—Here Are the Symptoms to Look Out For
SEPTEMBER 15, 2021 – 11:24 AM – 0 COMMENTS

Chances are, you’ve heard quite a bit about the delta variant by now. But after spreading to Chile, Colombia, Peru, and parts of the U.S. and Europe, the mu variant is officially on the World Health Organization’s radar.

The Global Initiative on Sharing All Influenza Data reported 2,461 cases of the mu variant as of last week. In the U.S., California, Florida, Texas and New York have the highest number of cases.

“With any type of virus, there are always going to be variants, which is defined as any change or mutation of the actual virus. But what’s most important is that the WHO and CDC keep track of what those variants are and over time, assess the ones that might be a problem,” says Dr. Jessica Shepherd, MD and women’s health expert. “This means an increase in how easily they are transmitted, how infectious they are, and how they’re going to impact the public if there is an increase in transmission.”

What is the mu variant?
Mu is one of these variants that health experts are keeping an eye on because it has appeared in certain parts of the world.

“They want to see if this particular variant has the potential to invade immunity,” Dr. Shepherd explains. “And this one’s particularly different just because it popped up in a certain part of the world—mostly in South America and Colombia. Since it made a distinct impact, they’re watching it to make sure it doesn’t start to transmit all over the world. That’s what happened with the delta variant. It started in India and over time we saw it moved its way across the country into other countries.”

Should we worry about the mu variant yet?
It’s not an immediate threat right now. “When health experts look particularly at mu, there are another four that they are actually keeping a very close eye on, and mu necessarily isn’t part of that four. They are looking at alpha, beta, gamma and delta. But because this has been seen in Colombia, they are watching it closely.”

Since mu has entered the U.S., it needs to be monitored. “They haven’t made a claim that we’re going to start to see more cases of mu variant, but they want to make sure now that it’s come to the U.S., that we don’t have a rise in cases,” Dr. Shepherd adds.

How can we stay safe?
The best thing we can do to stay safe from the mu variant (and other variants) is to get vaccinated.

“There has to be a good number of people who are vaccinated in order to ward off any variants such as mu,” says Dr. Shepherd. “So, because we’re seeing that mu is spreading and arrived in the U.S. more quickly than expected, WHO and CDC encourage more people to get vaccinated. This will help protect against variants such as delta and possibly mu in the future.”

Aside from getting vaccinated, Dr. Shepherd recommends social distancing, washing your hands, and wearing a mask. “All of these things are simple lifestyle habits that we can all take part into decrease transmission of the virus. At the end of the day, it’s trying to decrease transmission and active infections by the virus and those are the best ways to do it.”

Related: What Are the Symptoms of the Delta Variant?

What do we know about symptoms of the mu variant so far?
The symptoms are going to be similar to what we’ve seen so far since it’s the same virus. “You’ll see that the symptoms are going to be relatively the same. If someone has an infection, it really boils down to their diagnosis—if it is a mu variant versus delta or alpha,” says Dr. Shepherd.

The most common symptoms include:

Muscle or body aches
Loss of taste or smell
Cough
Shortness of breath
Sore throat
Fatigue
Fever or chills
Headache
Congestion or runny nose
Nausea or vomiting
Diarrhea
The bottom line: Public health officials are taking the mu variant seriously and keeping an eye on it, but the mu variant is not a threat at this time. It accounts for less than 1% of the cases in the U.S. as of now.
 
Of course Biden is ignoring India, India has been actively against China for quite a while. That wouldn't look good for Beijing Biden if he were to ally himself with "the enemy of China".

This whole thing was never about joining forces to stop China.
The Chinese have already heavily infiltrated Australia. Biden is basically handing China the keys to a new fleet of nuclear submarines.
 
This does not reflect too well on Virginia's governor's race. A closer race would bolster Republican turnout; we may get a streak of defeatist impulses that made 2021 Georgia happen.

In any case, it was good the recall got this far. Incremental victories are worthwhile if you learn the right lessons from them. Perhaps a dissection from a better political mind than myself is in order.
the virginia's governor's race was lost around the time texas banned abortion. plus glen=trump is what the ads have been saying.

pretty weird how many here don't realize latinos=white in california. they've done the studies, plus if you're brown that means you're too scared to vote or go to a poll usually. ask the ricans, salvadorians, or dominicans how they feel about trump you'll get the expected answer

I agree excluding Japan and India is for China's benefit, not anyone else's. But a Japanese-Russia alliance doesn't harm us at at. It impedes Chinese ambitions tho.

Yeah the USSR is in the past, they can be proud of what they did. I'm not begrudging them their accomplishments. The important thing is they acknowledge the bad, like Putin denouncing Stalin. Again, Russia is not our enemy and should be an ally. The Russia conspiracy fags are Chinese shills.

As long as we have nukes we'll never be out of the picture.
 
Is Taiwan the modern day Poland? As in, If whinnie the poo moves on Taiwan, like Hitler did with Poland, that's the line where we start a war?

At least this World War won't be fought in and on the doorstep of my country for a change. Have at it in the pacific.
