bro survived 2 assassinations, ran for 40 minutes and jumped a 2 meter wall in negative 3 degree weather livestreaming the entire time at like 2 am to defeat an incel coup attempt

the only logical conclusion is that we are npcs living in lee jae myungs isekai fantasy

theyve likely been getting assistance on the dl from russia/china/iran for years now, missile manufacturing doesnt just happen in sixth months or ukraine wouldnt be in as deep shit as it is

to quote netizens, "the last unlock on yemens agricultural tech tree lets you grow guns in the desert“

til american procurement really is ass and a single iranian salvo will take out an entire years worth of sm6s lol

edit: this might actually be the wrong link but the point is that theyve been making just 125 of their workhorse antiair missiles per year since 2023...

korea opened its us military bases to 'temporary' stays by the jsdf. used to require congressional approval, now nothing. no western sources but do get kr/jp/cn hits.

listening to some pretty wild theories about how nato/us is going to majorly escalate in europe before elections because the us is unwilling to directly intervene in the middle east and, other than israel, doesn't really have any proxies in the area that can reliably go to bat for it. unlike in europe, where you have the baltics and the rest of nato baying for russian blood. best part about the prediction is that once the escalation happens we'll get to see a dprk intervention in belarus. cant tell if the dude is serious or is just manifesting finno korean hyperwar energies.

so ukraines ambassador to japan just paid his respects at the war criminal shrine the other day

idk if fake news or not but it is weird that its basically not been reported on

apparently got scrubbed from ukrainian embassys twitter right after it got posted lol

pentagon defense procurement paper from last year

conclusions:

• no commercial application for missiles makes them unprofitable
• china makes everything
• nobody wants to invest in domestic manufacturing
• nobody wants to work in manufacturing, much less for the DoD

fuck i missed this dropping by like 30 minutes and now it's 8 hours later and everyone's taken my memes

sorry, i thought native english speakers would be more familiar with the concept of hyperbole. i will take the time to write a brief summary of relevant semantic techniques used in subsequent posts to help out the more rhetorically challenged members of our community.

time ran the exact same article, what is your point?

entity with the time, resources to try to sway public opinion

why would any foreign political entity waste its valuable english proficient resources on astroturfing an online backwater filled with politically illiterate nobodies? peak liberal solipsism

the GLF was economic policy made in response to withdrawal of soviet technological and financial aid during the sino-soviet split, one of the primary motivating factors of which being soviet insistence on china essentially allowing the soviets to recolonize the port of dalian to build a naval base from which to deploy its pacific fleet.

on top of being under sanctions from the west, the sino-soviet split further deprived china of markets with which to support its all-important capital intensive industries and so china was forced to resort to agricultural export as a method of making up the shortfall. collectivization was also pursued simultaneously to pool domestic capital for internal consumption, but due to various geographical, technical and political considerations, internal consumption was not sufficiently stimulated to support manufacturing, and so agricultural export became the primary way to finance china's continued industrialization. most accounts that are not hysterically anti-communist (including liberal darling amartya sen) of the period around the 1958 famine have records of aggregate production being more than sufficient to sustain the overall population, with the primary points of failure being overzealous local governments in highly productive areas, as opposed to popular western conceptions of overbearing central government mandated directives.

all this to say that hitler and the holocaust's relevance as a point of comparison to mao and the GLF as anything beyond 'people died when he was in charge' is laughably superficial and mostly only functions as a thought terminating associative fallacy for juicing your dopamine receptors in order to immunize your brain against more correct opinions.
