What's with this talk sounding like it's suppressing China more than anyone else? Dafuq, it ain't early 2000s nor even 2010. We've just curb stomped the netherlands for trying to steal from us and have had/ongoing trade/cold war with the US for the last 5 years and winning no less. And now we must show control over ourselves when japan clearly crosses our red line and threatens war? That is cuck behavior at its finest.
and you sound like a yellow turban rebel who doesn't understand just how much bigger the world is, how your swords and spears are impotent, not against guns, but against the scale of the seafaring logistic system of the enemy. do you think that the world is as big as what you can see in the news? did you imagine the graphite bomb before it was deployed in desert storm? you can laugh at american hubris, but thinking you have secured the win just because you see a few speculative signals like having a 4 year lead in fighter jets is the very definition of hubris. it's the very sort of victory wishcasting you would laugh at jai hinds for.
the stakes are incredibly high. higher than you obviously think. a global war is going to be a long slog, and its not going to end at japan; it won't end until either china or the rest of the world is in ruins.
you gotta be prepared for the possibility that the next war won't be won so much with fighter jets as with biotech horror. do you enjoy overmatch in that? the imagination is the limit when you have had infinite money for over half a century. im not saying i know more than you do -- we're both frogs in the well together. but thats exactly why we need to push our thoughts outwards, to imagine and think bigger, because what we do know for sure is that even if you don't dare think bigger, there are other people who
do.
his most recent venture, the “de-extinction” company Colossal Biosciences, which is attempting to resurrect the woolly mammoth, raises even more concerns regarding the proclaimed privacy protections of his projects. The CIA’s investment was “less about the mammoths and more about the capability,” which importantly appears to exclude privacy entirely. According to The Intercept, Colossal’s biotech “will help allow U.S. government agencies to read, write, and edit genetic material, and, importantly, to steer global biological phenomena that impact ‘nation-to-nation competition’ while enabling the United States ‘to help set the ethical, as well as the technological, standards’ for its use.” In other words, the technology and data provided by companies like Colossal will help the agency in what it effectively views as a biotech arms race.
i think its incredibly unwise to dismiss the worst case scenarios when an entire civilization's neck is on the line. when the risks are grave it is all the more important to hedge against it by remaining steadfast and measured in actions.
for the warmongering sort, let me try again with a different analogy:
china is a 16 year old. america is a 46 year old. if you want to talk about winning strats, the ideal strategy for china is to wait out 30,40,50 years for america to croak. in the meantime, america will do everything in its power to kill china. it will call it names, it will send its dogs at china, it will poison china's well, it will brandish its gun at china. if none of those changes the the fact that time is china's greatest ally, how is holding your peace in pursuit of a true victory an act of cuckoldry?
forgetting what your path to victory looks like is the mark of the weakminded.
dont be weakminded and get distracted by the small things. there's a bigger fight than japan. way bigger.
