It's cyberwarfare, everyone's doing it by now, some may even try to not get caught, but guess China, not anymore.

A new invention in the realm of Chinese fakes, a fake library, filled with fake books!

Those are ships meant for militia operations which include ramming, so i would assume not falling apart at first opportunity is a requirement the state cares about and makes them "premium" quality. Yeah, it's more fitting to the level of escalation present, and to a degree makes the enforcement...

Board them, auction off the ships, sentence the survivors to 30 years of forced labor, and make crazy demands on China if they want them back. Most of them may be worth less than any decent torpedo.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanide_fishing Seems like something not new or unusual, but a classic tactic of illegal fishermen in the region... Except taken up to eleven with state protection from China. There's also an interesting note there that using large amounts of cyanide is a sign of a...

Those cultures are not regional, they are based on specific immigration origins, and i ask again, what way of life and beliefs do they share? I'd rather be a skilled slave in Rome than an indentured physical laborer anywhere. The "details" you discard so casually are what really decide the...

Yes, i'm saying America is at least several "peoples" wearing a trenchcoat and with a lot of arguments and spats somewhat agreeing to stick as one country. I'm far from the only one who noticed, some wrote about it more in depth. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Nations What beliefs and...

America is not considered an ethnically homogenous country by anyone for a damn reason, so your disproval is a joke. I've just fucking shown you a quote from a historical researcher in the article saying no, not really better, describing it as "a status little different from chattel slaves"...

No, you can't join any really, as i've demonstrated. You can larp, and if they are nice they may even recognize that, but you can't join truly. You will never be raised in a culture you weren't raised in, you will never be a native speaker of a language you aren't yet. Much good that was to...

The *almost* however completely compromises the argument about race being special in that regard. If nationality, then also culture, if culture, then also ideologies that demand dramatic change of culture can be covered, in the end it boils down to individual times and places having their own...

But as you see, it's not only race that can't be so flippantly changed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_slavery#Indentured_servitude Well few people are de facto enslaved even in most liberal western societies, doesn't change that it's not a legal and state accepted practice. Kidnapping...

The Hamas one. Because you were talking about China there in context of your usual pushing of isolationism and downsizing US military budget. Well, you still do that here, but it's equally stupid both in cases of China and islamists, so whatever. I can't also turn myself Spanish. With a lot of...

The topic? You mean China? Oh, right. Many nations had wars, cold or hot, and used such naval perfidy in history when such happened, but with Muslims it was near constant war against all infidels they could get away with doing it against, and the practice is reappearing in our era, where it is...

You think that warning will stop a bunch of islamist zealots? You will have to actually kill enough of them to reconsider, and you will need many, many tons of explosives delivered to achieve that. Have you read the news? Several nations plus big daddy America are taking care of this one, and...

For military, yes, but for social spending they are very relevant. Yes, and you need an actually massive navy to bomb so many big targets. Excuse me, but it's no longer WW2 and ships can be attacked from places far deeper inland than few miles, those loitering munitions Iran gives to its...

https://taxfoundation.org/data/all/state/tax-burden-by-state-2022/ State government spending is very relevant at least in some states. No they cannot. It would take a massive competent navy to actually take care of them easily. LMAO no you don't do raiding at all. If western countries were...

Accidentally stumbled upon interesting estimations of China's real military spending as it was argued about i'll add this for the curious:

Welfare given by states is still welfare. Even in federal budget, defense is barely tenth, yet you and many others repeat the malevolent leftist lies that it's some massive part that's bankrupting the country. Islamists, right fucking now, are trying to terrorize some of world's most important...
