It's a misquote but Mao did basically say that, per Kruschev's memoir, or at least something close to it.

Mao also famously called Kruschev a pussy for not nuking the US during the cuban missile crisis

while it's very 'hardcore' i think they may have been ignorant or grossly playing down the repercussions of nuclear war other than direct destruction. They acting like they'd just come out the bunkers and be in a world just as it was only with less people.

I still suspect part of it is a strategy of tension to discipline the Euros. Sure, there is really no ideological opposition to US hegemony like there used to be, but our telcos have basements full of Huawei hardware and telling them that they have to set fire to their infrastructure because of Chinese aggression in the South Chinese Sea is a bit of a harder sell.

Unless it’s the UK. The Cameron government circa 2010-2014 was super China friendly and had Chinese tech everywhere and commissioned a few nuclear plants. Then the brexit vote happened, Cameron ran away and a switch was flipped and we became ultra hostile to China and literally did have to rip out chunks of telecomm grids. The money that has already been wasted even before brexit drains the economy and sinks us towards eastern Europe levels of poverty is staggering.

The Chinese would absolutely roll us in an actual fight but I feel like people are overestimating Russia a bit. I’m gonna guess the mafia state manufactured goods built by a labor force drinking floor cleaner might be cutting corners.

I still don't see how any of these theoretical battles between the US against China or Russia don't end with nukes

Like yeah it would be funny if China just blew a carrier out the water but then Biden would get the call while sundowning and that's the end of the world

Reading some of the stories coming out of Kazakhstan, such as this one ex-cop who joined forces with a cop lover to defend the police in the melees of Almaty.

They pulled out a cop and went home. However, their license plate was caught on a traffic camera and they were arrested by the authorities afterward.

The ex-cop was released after being recognized in the station, whereas the cop lover was disappeared after having his hands crushed by hammers. Many such cases.

Pulled a cop out of what? A hat?

Liz Truss is our most prominent ‘dumb’ politician atm. She is so stupid substance abuse is often suspected.

She’s culture secretary and will do any interview demanded and cannot stop running her mouth about anything. She has probably been tricked into all of this as a distraction for Boris.

oh I agree it's just the EU consistently gives the impression none of the states bother to talk to each other and they're all pulling a million different ways.

i think a lot of them are just subconsciously raging because they have to live in a obviously contradictory world where they have to pretend the dangerous virus isn't real

not only does China get to effectively tackle Covid, the very fact they are doing so reminds them that Covid is a real thing, where western media is pretending its over.

Because these people are defending an country that has been proven to be awful to many of its citizens time and time again by using the tactics that were used to defend imperialistic countries such as britian and america in the past, even if China is genociding culture at our doorstep.

Literally the fact that there's no elections should be proof of that alone. But sure. It's perfect, and don't ask for sources. Don't ask how Tibet is treated in the MODERN day, they were a dictatorship back then, therefore that must mean they're a utopia now, right?

Re:Tibet, the CPC still treats Tibet poorly and saying "well, the theocratic government was evil, therefore NOTHING IS WRONG," is like saying that the american rape of the Natives is justified because some of them used slaves. Education is still bad, working conditions are still poor, many Tibetans are forced to work as poorly paid labors by western hikers to make a buck, their freedom of speech is greatly restricted, not to mention the environment there is getting worse due to them building factories there that provide smoke and fog. They went from cow poo poo to dog poo poo. Both suck, one is clearly an bigger improvement, but they still could be treated better.

Stop loving defending a dictatorship. End of story.

And Marx was very adament about worker conditions, he wouldn't have tolierated the decision to let apple abuse their workers to near death there.

I can only be angry at one country at a time due to a very unusual brain injury. Because of this I will continue to wish death on America, the biggest worstest country.

Peking University estimated in mid-January that 900 million people had been infected. With an optimistic 0.1% infection fatality rate, that would be 900,000 deaths. China's official death statistics are completely cooked. They were one of the last countries treating covid with due seriousness, and when they stopped, a million people died. It's important to acknowledge when talking about the current situation in China.

and to think, the survivors all have airborne aids and brain damage
