The manless drone carrier that China finished off is quite the achievement, only took one year to make.

Assuming it can be used suicidally at 2:1 to a fully manned US carrier, with no casualties possible - they really only need produce 22 of them to rule the seas. No human is going to disagree with pressing any red buttons if the machine presses it.

Assuming that nukes are not used. If nukes are used, you don't even need the unmanned carrier. You don't need the soldier, heck - you don't even need the generals.

Of which producing 100 shouldn't be too much of a stretch. Skynet is here.

I think your meds ran out, you should call for a prescription refill.

China might go for worldwide democracy too.

USA gets 330 million votes, China gets 1.4 billion votes. Chinese democracy (as a worldwide democracy) is a solid four to one chinese vote compared to the USA.

USA wants democracy in China? Prove it on a global one man one vote.

Nah, "Goose" and "Maverick" wouldn't even make it off the flight deck before they were irradiated. I have heard that the F-35 is even slower than Gen 3 aircraft because they have to make sure the special coatings for radar absorption do not shake off on takeoff. What a joke.

As a side note: Any war probably would not "end" the USA. The only thing that would probably destroy US dominance - is a global democracy. Even Africa has enough people to vote out the USA four to one.

I approve this message.

What do you do about US threats and coercion to vote "their way or else"?

One of my coworkers in the Chengdu region tells me their workplace is closing for five days because the electrical grid has crashed.

And the economy is already getting crushed by very strict lockdown rules.

Shit is going to get worse in China for the next several months. Country is basically falling apart.

New train, glass bottom with zero power required to maintain levitation. Neodymium to the rescue.

Now: You could look at it as trying to adhere to international climate agreements, or you could say that China is simply prepping for a future where energy per person is drastically reduced.

Tons of videos are predicting shit by Sep. Lots of elites are liquidating their properties. Looks like it's happening.

It's funny that there is a rumor around Xi visiting Saudi probably try to buy oil in yuan. Good luck on that now.

Grid failure is due to high temp tho, worst one in 60 years.

this is absolutely true. China pretty much sucks, but I dont WANT them to suck. I want them to provide us cheap labour and exports....which is what they are good at.

I'd rather have stuff. If USA wins, all I can buy is ego. And I killed my ego to achieve spiritual nirvana a long time ago.

Car enthusiasts? Ego is paramount, which is crazy.
