Yeah, I take it back, Cold War era photos are way above the level of that first picture. Honestly, it would not look out of place in a gallery of WWII combat footage.

Did the Shandong accidentally sail through a time rift in a storm to end up in WWII? Are they doing a reboot of the Final Countdown movie, only this time is a Chinese carrier that sent back in time and did the Pearl Harbour attack? Sounds pretty on brand for the Japanese wannabe historical revisionists in charge of Taiwan to be frank.

There's actually an online novel like that, except the ship that traveled back in time was a 094 SSBN.
At the end of the story after realizing that the change in timeline they've caused will eventually result in Empire of Japan successfully conquering all of China the captain suggested to the political officer that they further change history by using all 12 JL-2 in their possession. The political officer objects saying the order to use nuclear weapon can only be issued by the CPC Central Committee to which the captain replies:

"Comrade commissar, the Central Committee exists in this age too. Shell the two of us make a trip to Jinggangshan then?"

Shandong tried to stop the Japanese navy but one of the officers discovered that if they ended up taking action, the butterfly effect would cause Gordon Chang to become President of China.

Did anyone really believe that "no limit talk". I only saw Western alarmism, and Russian euphoria about that.

In the diplomatic field, current China-Russia relationship is based on the 2001 Sino-Russian Treaty of Friendship. Nothing inside the treaty text says anything about "no limit relationship".

China's diplomacy is actually very stable and predictable. Just read the official treaty/agreed documents, take them to their word, and that's it. Simple enough

Reminds me of the saying, talk is cheap. Don't listen to what they say, look at what they do.

Chinas EU ambassador can say anything to placate the euros. Him saying "no limits" is just rhetoric, is similar to Macron saying that EU is independent of the US and will protect china from US pressure. Lol two can play that game

But what if the butterfly effect in turn makes Gordon Chang an ultra-based anti-imperialist fighter roasting libs on Twitter harder than Chen Weihua while simultaneously dismantling the West more than Xi Jinping?

Then there is the fact that the war has accelerated the dedolarization of countries that aren't the US's bitch. That alone is a massive win.

This right here. I have always wondered the question why Russia doesn't unleash total destruction on Ukraine; set the whole thing on fire and, nukes ready, dare the West to do anything about it. Any image of brotherhood should be over by now. And one of the things that recently became apparent is that the Ukraine war and sanctions on Russia cascaded into the fall of Credit Suisse and the de-dollarization movement. Really, the West's only strength is that it controlls much of global funding and banking; it uses that to exploit greed and rob talent from other nations because homegrown Western talent is typically abysmal. I've been almost superstitiously too giddy to say that connection out loud like it might jinx it. If Russia draws this war out leading to the collapse of Western control over the global financial institutions before turning on the afterburners to take out Ukraine, this would be like a 10D Chess move. America's dollar supremacy is Samson's hair. Had America known that this would be on the line, it wouldn't touch this conflict with a tightrope pole. America would rather nuke Ukraine itself and give Europe to Russia than lose dollar supremacy.
