I think China has about a century or so worth of observations regarding the challenges involved in staging a military action halfway across the world, through watching the US and Europe repeatedly stepping on rakes trying to do this, with far superior logistical capabilities to boot.

The US had plenty of time to watch Russia, the British, the French, and ourselves in the Philippines, and we still went into Afghanistan wearing bowling shoes.

China is no more comprised of rational actors and reasonable leaders than anywhere else in the world.

Well this is horrifying.

Building in an Iowa town collapsed. Rather than performing an investigation - or a search and rescue effort - the town moved immediately to demolish the wreck.

Hours after the city government declared that there was no one left in the rubble, a woman was found alive.

The building had just passed an inspection a week previous, leading some to wonder if the rush to demolish the wreck was to conceal evidence of corruption.

Armed and armored police have established a perimeter with barricades to keep people away from the site.

Holy poo poo.

Chuck Grassley: "Its hard for me to comment, because this is private property and normally not something FEMA responds to" (Des Moines Register (paywall): https://www.desmoinesregister.com/s...se/70273838007/)

Locally, we had a retaining wall collapse beneath a renovated apartment building and the rubble sat there for three loving years while they went through litigation. Meanwhile, the Fern Hollow Bridge in Pittsburgh was reopened to traffic in under a year.

e: And knee jerk reaction, yes I believe they brought in the wrecking balls to cover up malfeasance like they saw it in The Wire.

It gets worse.
