Nope. China is heading towards an eminent environmental, financial and demographic crisis. All the US needs to do is sabotage China just for enough time to let all the inter-correlated crises hit at once and China will collapse just like Japan in the 1990s with the Lost Decade and the US will remain the global hegemon for decades and decades and decades

IMO, just add him to the ignore list or advise everyone to ignore or just respond with a clown pic. Denio has repeatedly said he doesn't like these pseduo-politcal threads anyways and he doesn't want to waste his time modding them. They may just kill all of these threads if it becomes too troublesome.

A while back this website was up for sale, passwords, ip addresses, databases of users and all... did CIA buy it secretly then gag order? we will never know but could go long way explain the strangness

People who are pro-China get banned like flies but guys like gagdetcool, Sleepstudent curiously allowed to stand... with immunity

Then every now and then a particular mod comes in here who writes in broken english (who ironically happens to be published author.. ) that he has "had enough" and all of a sudden entire threads get locked...

Rinse, repeat...

Oh well, it just might be what this guy wants I guess, which still doesn't explain why no one on top is trying to do anything to reign this in at all. Its really just one or two people derailing this place, is it hard to do what needs to be done. IF this ends up given credence to all these rumors going around about the true nature of things which I sincerely hope is not the case, then would it solve anything if we we simply start trolling around like children until some attention is finally paid, because it really does seem like as though this is going to be the case.

Nope. The US still has the Taiwan card, the SWIFT card, the chip card, the software/app/OS card, the trade card, the investment (portfolio and direct investment) card, the Japan card, the destabilization card. The US just isn't fighitng hard right now because it's not serious.

The US will end up banning all trade, travel and investment; all knowledge transfers and engagements, prevent all 3rd countries from trading or investing with China, start wars in China's periphery and then ban China from any foundational US technology that the ROW uses like the App Store or Windows and split the world in two which the US will gain a substantial portion of. And then China's GDP will fall and the US will win, esp. after China's birth rates collapse into a hellhole and the US brain drains China for what little talent it has.

This post will do fine. It has to be bookmarked so that others may know the depth of your thought process.If the US could use all the cards you mentioned without much hurt to itself then it'd have already used it.

Using the SWIFT card mean China switches on its own transfer system.

Using Japan card mean trade with China ( Japan's biggest trading partner) closes down japanese business operating in China.

The software/OS/App card is in the process of getting torn. It'll take some years.

US isn't the only country with Money. Money will pour from Middle East, Europe and other parts of the world. If anything, investors in US will find ways to circumvent the ban on investments.

Nope, the only reason why the US hasn't used them is because the US has a policy process that is slow and Biden is dovish but obviously, the US wiill implement all of it under the next GOP president that is mildly hawkish *AND* has a consistent NSC process to work through

China can't. China runs current account surpluses and China doesn't have an open capital account

That's a win for the United States because Japan's economy crashing pushes Japan towards the United States and reduces aggregate demand for China's product

Yep. You shock it and you fuck up millions of Chinese developers for years and years and afterwards, they have maybe a 30% market share? Sounds beautiful

Nope. Secondary sanctions will end all of that really quickly. Plus, no one has liquidity in capital markets like the United States

This place is free for me to use and it prob does take effort to mod discussions if you have a busy personal life so I try not to put too much pressure on the mods. The core effort has always been the military portion of the forum and its hard to make a judgement on polticial related discussion. The sleepy guy has some valid arguements that can be maturely discuss but he is definitly here to troll and rile up people. I think it will become a problem for the mods if the forum is brigade by trolls though(kinda surprise it has not happen).

I ignorelist the gadget and my experience since has been much better lol, try it if you had not!
