Starship Troopers/Is China REALLY So Bad? ;) (split from '25 Federal Election thread)

In case you didn't get an obvious hint, what I posted above is aimed at you (and anyone else that thinks even remotely that way)

Someday someone is going to see what you said, and I think you will deeply regret it. Especially in the age of social media.

Then it wasn't aimed at me because I dont remotely think that way. Literally every post of mine in this thread is either untruthful devil's advocacy or complete sarcasm.

Its not humorous in my mind, and many others.

So how do we know that post is truthful then…

What? GENOCIDE?! I'm only saying to eliminate HALF the people.

is it genocide if you do it to yourself? Pol Pot, Khmer Rouge?

 

[suffolkowner]

Exactly. We are not talking like its a binary choice. No one ever said if you don't drive a ford, you then MUST drive a GM. There are many, many different choices to choose from.

Like running a democratic nation, there are many different choices and ways to adapt to what is best for the overwhelming majority.

Only an armchair theoretical no real experience academic (or wanna be) would ever advocate in any way (directly or indirectly, or implying) that killing in mass was a good idea. I ask that person, have you ever killed anyone or any living thing? Have you ever uncovered a mass grave? Have you ever picked up a cold dead body and felt how weird it is? Maybe to that individual, you really better look in the damn mirror and think 5 times over at least about what your thinking/saying or even hinting at.

You mean we dont have to vote for Trudeau, I mean Carney or PP? There's other choices?

Ouuuu that's deep, you got me there. Plots within plots within plots...

When we chat about mass murder on a scale of millions - or even thousands - we don't joke about it. At least I don't.

And many others don't either.

And if my news feeds are a correct, according to half the "supposed media coverage " ( translation ; bot farms ). It's the Pinoy's who are to blame.

The problem here is that China is just itching for the Philippines to push back and in a heartbeat the place will be flooded by dozens and dozens of Chinese warships pushing right up to the Philippines' shoreline.

Quite frankly this is what I expect to see in the Arctic within the next 5-10 years.

With the PLAN or the USN?

I said 5-10 years. My hope is that 47 won't have figured out how to become king and that the electorate south of the border will have had their fill of MAGA by then - so PLAN.

This is their test case to see how the west reacts. Frankly we need an international flotilla to support the Philippines replacing their LST with a larger and better platform on the Ayungin Shoal. With enough force to make the Chinese to back off.

China be this guy:

Too bad the world didn’t stop the Chinese 15 years ago when they started their construction on the shoals…the handwriting on the wall was so obvious even back then. Now the same nonsense is happening again.
