Marx was wrong. Much like Freud.

You know, I actually missed this little gem the first time.

Do you have a degree in Psychology? Because I do, and we studied Freud in Psych 101.

Freud is certainly overrepresented in popular psychology, but claiming "he was wrong" shows a clear lack of understanding of what Psychology is about, and what Freud was talking about.

I suspect you have the same lack of understanding when it comes to Marx.

The Japanese need not worry about the US leaving its territory. Americans would pay to keep their bases in both Japan and South Korea.

Let me stop you right here mate.
Is it possible for the servant to demand anything from his Lord?

The servant is by definition Lord's property thus the Lord can do whatever he wants to him.

The servant has no rights, can make no demands, has no power and his life or death is determined by his Lord

Is it possible for the Lord to pay his servant in order to get him to do something? No, because the Lord can just order him to do it for free, so why pay at all...

China Won’t Bury Us, Either

Garry Kasparov has a pithy way of summing up the past 18 months of tribulation. “China gave us the virus,” the chess and human-rights champion told me over a recent breakfast. “And the free world gave us the vaccines.”

Why stop at Kashmir? There's Goa. Sikkim. Bhutan Maoist ..... shall I go on?

Well bcoz im from Kashmir so personal bias . Also today the only regions where there are strong secessionist movements is Kashmir and Nagaland. Rest of India i can say is pretty much strongly integrated.

Probably because somebody competent in the Japanese military pointed out to him that all the 055s, carriers, LPDs and LHDs would be of limited use in a Taiwan scenario, but would be perfect to island hop all the way up to the Japanese home islands.

Chinese military strategists are not idiots and are not afraid of dreaming big.

If they are expecting direct US military intervention in Taiwan, then they will also be expecting Japan and Australia to tag along.

In the event of a decisive Chinese victory, with the US Pacific fleets, along with the Japanese and Australian fleets erased from the world’s oceans, it would offer China a perfect opportunity to obliterate the second island chain via direct invasion.

I doubt China would want to invade the Japanese home islands or Red Dawn Australia, but China will be well within its rights to take Okinawa and all surrounding islands on the basis that those islands were once again used by the Japanese to launch a war of aggression against China, so they will never be allowed to be used in such a way again.

The Ryukus will have to be taken! Maybe “liberated” from US dominated Japan and governed as a “protectorate”? As long as there are no occupying forces and bases, the Okinawans probably wouldn’t mind.
Australia is of no consequence.

The term "wolf warrior" is based on racism that all East Asians are docile and meek and therefore, would never talk back. You never heard about someone like Pompeo being regarded as a "wolf warrior" despite his insanely sharp rhetoric because he's white.

Wolves are also smart animals, I won't insult wolves by labelling Pompeo a wolf. You might get a ban from seige for insulting the wolf.

Anyone knows when the next Wolf Warrior movie is going to be released?

I predict that the moment it will get out, the West will have the greatest hysteria of the past decade. It will be glorious!
