Grapplejack posted:Thing is, that was then, when factories were brand new and largely needed human hands to function. Now you can run an entire factory with little more than a handful of engineers and maintenance guys, replacing the work of 100 men with less than 20. Agreed. It’s time for Fully Automated Epic Bacon Space Communism in China.

Some Indian startup made some weapons for the Indian troops who got into a hand to hand fight with Chinese soldiers on the border. https://twitter.com/ANI/status/1449972165751689216

Speaking of weaponry, China supposedly tested an orbital glider in August. If it is true, then basically, the US has no counter-response.

Sputnik was a scientific mission, but the rocket carrying it showed that the Soviet Union had long-range capabilities. It may be a comparable situation here. ----- Also, yeah, it got posted before, but it shows that China may very well is already starting to eclipse the US in key fields (with semi-conductors being a fairly notable exception although the gap is also closing).

China has already surpassed the US in every conceivable metric. What we're seeing on Twitter are lagging indicators of economic decisions made over a decade ago. All the US has left is the ability to destroy.

The editor in Chief Shekhar Gupta of ThePrint has a "world news for dummies" series on YouTube called Cut The Clutter. It's a good one-man podcast style news chitchat to play in the background. Here is him talking about The Chinese hyperbolic missile. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YvAQQYjYQ_k

Got to over feed the Americans to maintain the quarterly profit of the health care sector. They just made electric cigarette virtually impossible to buy in the US to make people go back to paper cigarettes, which is about 20 times more harmful to the lungs. stephenthinkpad has issued a correction as of 02:48 on Oct 19, 2021 |

He wrote poo poo like the Indian government was afraid of a coup on a routine military exercise that had already been communicated to both the government and Pakistani military liaisons at the border. No points for guessing how far his head is up the current administration's rear end. AnimeIsTrash posted:Some Indian startup made some weapons for the Indian troops who got into a hand to hand fight with Chinese soldiers on the border. The power of Yogi's UP. Can you believe the Chief Minister of this meme state went around campaigning about how he was going to turn other states into versions of his state and the BJP proceeded to lose all those elections?

reading up on China's nuke program and the US was so caught off-guard that it had to pivot to india to stop proliferation we thought we had a decade or two once the USSR pulled out of development and the Chinese took five years also Kennedy wanted to first-strike when they saw the test area being finalized and had to be talked out of it
