the geographical distances of the Russian landmass have not changed in 100 years and the population has grown roughly linearly since then. meanwhile the speed of information transfer reached the physical maximum and the ability to process information has increased by several orders of magnitude. comparatively, the scale of the economic system to be managed has hardly changed relative to the power of the technology available to do so. this is a dramatic over simplification, but a single Silicon Valley series A seed company commands more planning capacity than the ussr in 1917. i think it’s fun to think about how goddamn feasible a fully planned, global economy would be but for the recalcitrance of capitalists and monarchists

I think US arms sales are usually not for actually use but to build up brownie points with the US. I dunno why Australia would think they would need to butter up the US more. I am amused at the idea of AU fearing a Chinese invasion that would make Normandy look laughably small though. They are just waiting to pounce!

i mean AU is effectively killing any and all future economic ties with China in favor of US it would seem

which is pretty turbo funny since china is hell of a lot closer

This reminds me of one of the BBC's alleged exposès of the "cultural genocide" or whatever from last year. It was about evil CCP officials going to villages in Xinjiang and tearing Uyghur women away from their families and sending them off for forced labor. The BBC guy had a cut up video the article was largely based on that he tweeted out and billed as "the video the CCP doesn't want you to see."

IMO, the version of the video he tweeted out was pretty benign but making incendiary claims while trusting most of your audience won't analyze your evidence is basic strategy.

However, after just a tiny bit of research, I found out that this "video the CCP doesn't want you to see" was an excerpt from a much longer video that CGTN had literally posted to YouTube like 4 years prior.

https://youtu.be/07NjqkQAgs8

Basically party members went to remote villages to recruit people for a work program. Most of the video focused on them trying to convince the family of one young adult woman that she should be allowed to work. I haven't watched the whole video in like a year but basically they were eventually convinced, she went to a city to work for a few months or something, then came back with livestock and money.

Genocide on a disturbing scale. The true reality that the Communist Regime in Beijing won't tell you about.

I watched this and when one of the women said they wanted to bring their family over it reminded me of all the stories I've heard about my ancestors and the people that came over in the same wave of immigration from Europe to the USA. I know it's not completely analogous, but working age males coming to work in the mines, ironworks or the railroads to make money and bring over the rest of their families was very common. All their descendants learned English and we lost our original languages. My great grandfather was born in a factory town (thankfully he got out of the mines ASAP) and his son, my grandfather, did doctoral work at UPenn. These people clearly have better conditions and more freedom than that, along with bilingual education instead of complete assimilation. One is an American success story. The other, well...

yea thankfully for my family our immigration story is good considering the time and all but it's a similar thing in a lot of ways. My grandfather comes from eastern europe, my mother doesn't speak the language he spoke, doesn't identify as Jewish like he did, but got a good life by American standards by blending in better than her 'weird' father and all. She's a success story and an ideal immigration result, but a family being given their needs without having to leave their homes and a bilingual/blended cultural education so they can preserve their own customs while learning to work with others is...genocide of that culture?

Like, America wiped out major parts of my heritage better than the Nazis did by sheer assimilation force, but that's something to be proud of somehow.

Upgraded f-16s are probably fine against similar 4th gen AESA Chinese aircraft (j-10/11/16) but I really don’t know how they would fare against the j-20 which is a 5th generation fighter.

Of course, the other issue is that the PLAAF can concentrate its force of fighters while the US really can’t while there size and general tech of both forces isn’t that different from each other at this point. (A big part of it is the PLA has been building tons of 4th generation planes while the US has been screwing around with the F-35.)

It is why a war over Taiwan is a bit of fantasy, the PLA already has a overwhelming advantage.

I would love to see some J10c go one in one against some RoC F16 A/B/V, but I am afraid when poo poo hits fan, all Taiwanese airports will be flatten in the first wave of artillery attack and all remaining F16 will be sent to Guam.
