No, it’s very much a grown man with an awful disposition. (It’s probably more of an undiagnosed condition.)

Why does Microsoft buy up patents and pull monopolisation tricks?!
Nah, China and Russia lost respect for the US when they elected Donald Trump. Imagine having to treat that baboon like a peer. International hostilities is the obvious outcome.
He just switches channel and screams about what he wants to watch not being on.
I live with a guy that seems to hate music. Haven’t actually asked him about it because he just yells at the TV or radio if they have music on.
Thanks for that! I hadn’t realised, and was wondering why people share those types of links.
Paywalled for me.
There has to be an amount of disbelief with the proficiency of rocket propelled delivery at this point. Laser weaponry and current defence solutions would have to give you pause in believing you could mount a nuclear war against the US without becoming the nuclear wasteland yourself. And it requires the unnerving belief allies will equally join the attempt and have proficient weaponry.
China’s going to look at the odds and think fuck that IMO.
Thought the same thing, but that time was an absolute powderkeg of ballistic egos.
Self own there. How would a simple jet fight create WWIII? It’s unlikely. Dick move, but unlikely to tip anything more off than a tit for tat that that festers along.
Sure, it could be on if China wasn’t so grossly inadequate, but they’re not actually professing that much military capability at this point.
Thanks Captain Obvious, we can’t wait for your second strike of accurate information today!
So it was a dick move. I could have guessed.
No, I think you’re wrong. A lot of countries try to make a big deal of sovereignty as a recommendation for peace. The US buys into that logic. It’s been proven repeatedly. In a way, they see borders as almost sacred.
It’s the same as they’ve proven not to want to use nuclear weapons. Despite the empire based logic leaking into some factors of US activities they still avoid WMDs and keep stepping back from the brink.
You can’t seriously think the other countries being mentioned are pushing any such agenda. Most mentioned are disrespecting the sovereignty of their neighbours and building up on international activity to harm efforts for international peace.
The US even tried everything to embrace China and Russia before this last decade of absolute bullshit from those countries.
The US’s biggest problem is actually getting involved because of previous promises. They made no promises in Myanmar, and look how that shitshow went down with China as an ally.
I can’t buy this China is an alternative military superpower idea. They never prove to do anything other than end up in a lifelong dispute with every other nation that gets in their way. Look at how Hong Kong panned out. That was disrespectful as hell! I know who the assholes are.
Yeah, I don’t get Cuba. That’s a WTF. To me, the best way not to put Cuba in collusion with your enemies is to give it all the concessions they need, and just drop all the sanctions. Maybe I’m wrong and they’re planning on being the ultimate backdoor rogue state, but it just doesn’t seem like it.
Going into disasters and it being a disaster are the same thing. I’m not irresolute on the matter, but clearer identification of wrongdoing shouldn’t involve a number of villains destabilizing everything.
Ho Chi Minh, had a clear mandate before the US entered, and should have been welcome to expel the French (who allied with Japan). Now, sovereignty is resolved and all borders and diplomacy are entirely respected by the US. They’re practically an ally these days. The US performed like absolute crap in the war, but now they encourage the sovereignty of the Vietnamese people.
Does China learn lessons like that? Ho Chi Minh’s cadre also had to say no to China, and if it wasn’t for Russia that could have ended worse. And it’s still not resolved. China barely understands foreign sovereignty.
(Ahh, I don’t want to stick up for the US position!)
As aggressive as the US is, they don’t regularly traipse over their own neighbour’s borders to attack them.
China on the other hand, Tibet, India, Vietnam, … and most of their disputes aren’t even settled or beyond dispute yet.
Verdict, China can’t manage stable borders and do away with further disputes.
Point out a country that the US has hostilities with that isn’t destabilizing or in a border dispute?
(Disclaimer, we don’t have to like America to point out the obvious.)
Same guy. I don’t see anyone different.
So, it’s an unattended concentration camp, and they hope everyone dies there.
Men will see a potential in gaining something by being adversaries. Even if it’s a worse outcome by any stretch of the imagination they mightn’t be able to overcome evolved and taught practices of harm.
Many men have to be disarmed before they can get out of predator mode. And high functioning narcissists, psychopaths, … - dark triad types will only pretend to come out.
It’s the difference between your average agreeable person and a highly driven academic. You’re probably going to notice shades of ego with the university educated person. The higher the school status the more likely pretensiousness comes into play during interactions. Everything starts to toxify into a contest of intellect and qualifications.
Men have similar prevailing toxicity. So, creating a road block over excessive emotional output is an attempt at a ‘gotcha’. They’re attempting to demarcate/mark their territory at the expense of the emotional person.
A lot of deserts get a fresh water pulse occasionally, and things spring back to life. If you take that away it destroys more ecology. You’re better off making multilevel greenspace in the cities.
You’re expending resources for greater intelligence with diminishing returns. At some point you’re killing yourself, so hopefully you’ll acquire enough intelligence to end the button cycle.
