Cheetahs go fast

Tim the pencil didn’t deserve that damn

Well its purely a hypothetical. If people are deploying BM-21s en masse against the zionist entity shit has escalated to the point where you could probably just plop them down in Syria or something.

A couple bm-21s have enough rockets to deplete an iron dome battery, don’t even need anything fancy.

China: here’s what we’re going to do for the next 5 years

West: we can never understand those inscrutable Confucian Orientals

You’re in luck, China will back down from it’s red line (again), because they actually care about the continued existence of human civilisation over acting tough

However, because I just posted this prediction on chapo.chat, the opposite will come true and there’s gonna be a hot war.

Even with the current model of state directed capitalism, the amount of investment into social services and poverty reduction already shame the west. China isn’t yet in a position to press the communism button, but once the threat of America and it’s puppets decline there may well be a pivot.

If China can manage to turn its industries and markets to an internal production/consumption model and reduce its reliance on being an export economy, it would be much better off even without the massive growth. Growth will have to stop at some point, and the focus will be on stability, since China hasn’t made any indications it’ll try to fuel growth through imperialism like western economies have. Japan style stagnation would be not so terrible if your society is socialist.

One thing I really liked about Chinese TV (not streaming) was that ads were only shown in a big block in between shows, so you’d have like a 50 minute episode, 5-10 minutes of straight up ads, then the next show. A lot better than having multiple ad segments in the middle of a program.

From the country that brought you “plane that can’t fly when wet”, the prequel: “tank that can’t drive when dusty”.

I’m not checking for new food, I’m just wondering if my standards have dropped enough since last time I checked to eat the half a carrot and raw onion that’s been sitting there.

What 0 historical or geopolitical literacy does to a mf

Make tankie mean pro-Soviet intervention against reactionary Hungarian colour revolution again.

Socialism, in an extreme simplification, is a mode of political and economic organisation in which the workers own the means of production, and receive the full value of their labour. While social welfare programs are often attached to that, they are not socialism in and of themselves, nor are they a prerequisite to socialism (but it is nice to have).

I had it saved so I don’t remember where, but Googles reverse image search yields more matches than tineye

Eh do they really need to dogwhistle here when they can just take some pics of Ukrainians with wholesome black sun and SS tattoos instead?

Love how FNV is there twice, its just that good.

Maybe australia is still stuck thinking China has never advanced past the 70s and that everyone is still a subsistence farmer (even the professors).

Do aussies think this is a good amount for a bribe
