Incompetence to the next level. They are striking civilians and immigrants

 

[taxiya]

What the Qing did to the Mongol problem once and for all? I thought Mongol problems were sorted entirely by the Ming ?

It was Qing who finshed the problem of nomadic people by following:

1. Intermariage with decedents of Genghis Khan, the only lineage within Mongols who can claim the title of Great Khan/Emperor, therefor politically eliminated anyone's ambition to reunite Mongolia.
2. Devided and fixed greezing grounds of various tribes, to prevent anyone to conqure and unit others.
3. Paying crops to Mongols from China proper during bad seasons when animals dies enmass to prevent them from raiding farmers. This is essentially extending disaster relief works that has been done in orther part of China for long time.
4. Abolished the title Khan gradually and mostly to demote the leaders and made them princes (title being a subject of the emperor).
5. Appointed these princes as head of leagues (euqivlant to provinces), although hereditary but can be removed and replaced at the will of the emperor, essentially made them a provincial governer than a semi-independent ruler of their own.
6. Break and move newly subjucated tribes to new greezing ground surrounded by other more loyal tribes.
7. Installed Buddhist leaders in Inner and Outer Mongolia.
8. All the above were quickly done following subjucation.

Qing is very different from earlier Han Chinese dynasties which only used military means to subjucate nomads without proper measures afterwards therefor the pacification lasted very short, at best some decades. Qing wasn't ashamed of intermarriage or playing with "Babarians", it treated Mongols like Qin dynasty handling people of other warring states 2000 years ago, "you are conquered and now live as equals". Qing was willing to do such things because itself started as "Babarians".

Sounds like they lashing out. Apparently, Houthi air defences are becoming a problem for US intelligences.

militants have successfully shot down at least seven multi-million-dollar American drones, hindering the US’ ability to move into “phase two” of the operation

The US was hoping to achieve air superiority over Yemen within 30 days, officials said and degrade Houthi air defense systems enough to begin a new phase

This is actually normal for and to be expected from the US military, at least as far as the US military and government are concerned when conducting airstrikes.

Even hospitals have been targeted on occasion, even if the civilian casualties were unintentional:

TBF this sort of collateral damage isn't necessarily malicious, but the "cost of doing business" if you're a great power waging war.

"Normal civilians" and "casual" PLA watchers do not write like this.

Writing like that just takes some exposure to some DoD-speak and choosing to use that kind of prose, it's no big deal.

It's more that there aren't many genuine effortposts these days on PLA matters, so it seems odd when one pops up.

Definitely not, though I suppose a sprinkle of it may be true...

Lol. The Shaanxi Y-8 hater has been around a long time. Though I noticed a couple errors that are a bit unlike him in that post, like referring to J-15T as "J-15B".

Is it really that hard to suppress AD even over somewhere like Yemen? Hopefully this can be attributed to US incompetence and/or Allah's protection spell for the Houthis.

Could Comrade Chang start fapping to step moms/sisters like a normal American? Orgasming over a map is unnatural…
