I don't think Garrison is a true believer, he's part of the infinite grift machine.

These are hilarious to me because the original Jarhead, while not a good film, also wasn't an oo-rah pro-US pro-Iraq war movie, so I'm not sure how it spawned a bunch of patriotic straight-to-video spinoffs.

becaue people thought it was and that's all that matters lol

i dont remember it much but iirc it paralleled the trajectory as war is hell n bad, boy but never quite intersected and crossed into doing so. like yeah it wasn't pro war, but it never really stepped that threshold into being anti-war

that's probably why it did, can't have a movie called JARHEAD with some hot hollywood hunks being anything but stoic superman operators who do epic lulzy stuff in the desert

i'm surprised there haven't been like 9 Three Kings direct-to-video sequels that get increasingly more Police Academy-esque

'All necessary means': Xi Jinping reserves right to use force against Taiwan

quote:

Taiwan independence would lead to “disaster”, Chinese president Xi Jinping has said, pledging efforts for peaceful “reunification” with the self-ruled island but warning China would not renounce the use of force.

Speaking at Beijing’s Great Hall of the People on the 40th anniversary of a key Taiwan policy statement, Xi said reunification must come under a one-China principle that accepts Taiwan as part of China, anathema to supporters of Taiwan independence.

All people in Taiwan must “clearly recognise that Taiwan independence would only bring profound disaster to Taiwan”, Xi said.

“We are willing to create broad space for peaceful reunification, but will leave no room for any form of separatist activities,” he said.

“We make no promise to renounce the use of force and reserve the option of taking all necessary means,” he said, adding that the issue is China’s internal affair and that it would permit “no external interference”.

You're optimistic if you think we'll get that much.

Taiwan is hosed and they voted for the pro-china unification party en masse recently.
