US and the West is talk talk talk, they are almost as bad as India now.
No one ever does anything.

EV plants, semiconductors, Foxconn in Wisconsin. All of these projects is always hype about "stakeholder engagement", "future economic benefits", "x# of jobs", "sustainability"

Look at the Goro mine in New Caledonia, it was supposed to be the future of Nickel production using HPAL technology. 4 billion and they never got it working. China got it working in Indonesia. Now they have the biggest Nickel processing capability. It is really important in NMC batteries for EVs, but the crazy thing is that China is even looking to displace NMC anyway.

Then you hear them talking about "CHINA SUBSIDIZES EVS LIKE CRAZY", then you see Northvolt which was bankrolled by western governments around the world go dead.

HSR in California, nothing more needs to be said...

Even the Brightline in Florida, hailed as a huge success, it only goes 200km/h max speed, and has killed 50 people in 2 years (level crossings for HSR are bad). By comparison, the Wenzhou disaster had 40 deaths and the western news made it seem like HSR in China is a death trap.


Yes hence why not China talk? That’s how you shake down American confidence. The Chinese don’t need to lie. The “truth” is right there in their own media. So there’s nothing wrong in using it.

Remember the same law that prevents the US military from taking down these drones is the same law that prevents the US military from being used against Americans. And Trump is also talking about that. China or Iran is behind it. What a good excuse to repeal the law under the guise it’s a national security threat.

It's mostly the pro-Russian pretending like they have only altruistic goals and never hurt non combatants. The reality if you know from Ukrainian on the ground is that they're essentially doing what Israel wants to do with their neighbors. Displace and kill everyone that doesn't subject themselves. Except they're more succesful as they've driven away millions and killed about as many as well.
Not really. If Russia had just razed every city regardless of military presence, this war would have been over long ago. I mean, the estimated deaths in Gaza sit between 600k and 1m, we are talking about half of the population exterminated in a year while the Ukraine war's civilian death toll have yet to break 15k in 3 years of all out war.

There is no contradiction between winning on the battlefield and decapitating enemy leaders. Quite the contrary, because without leaders Ukraine would have lost on the battlefield long ago and would have become a new Syria faster, completely harmless to its neighbors.

If "decapitating enemy leaders" doesn't affect the outcome or your goals, then its just a PR coup and little else plus a waste of usable intel resources that might get outed for it. Basically what Ukraine does

Ah yes, the heavy mbts like Abrahams will definitely do well in the mountainous terrain in Taiwan.

Zelensky was more useful to the Russians alive than dead. They were under constant pressure by their partners/friendly stats to have discussions with Ukraine. The Russians being open for talks and the reluctant agreement to negotiations being hosted by partners like BRICS, India, China etc. Those same partners went to Ukraine who told them to buzz off and slammed the door in their face. Giving Russia a diplomatic way out of the foreign relations dilemma with their friends/neutral partners. Now there isn’t much news about non-western aligned countries attempting diplomacy or negotiations.

Are they going to discriminate land ownership?
Seems like the idea that spy drones don't install ultra-bright lights is just too abstract for the American mind to process.

Imagine a country with average IQ of 70 going to war against a country with IQ of 110....

Actually this could explain a lot about why Americans are obsessed with stealth or don't think China has any submarines.
