Re <<annihilation was a pretty funny comment no ? at least terribly amusing ;)>>
comments / observations / notes / etc etc ...
(1) China + USA can do much to improve the world TOGETHER once USA gets over own obsession w/ governance protocol's supposed exceptionalism, and de-confuses earlier success due to a series of historical aberrations, accidents, and in effect, crimes against humanity from what actually was the case, MERITOCRACY
(2) Democracy does work well, anocracy less so. China practices democracy as did the Greeks, that which is neither flavoured Coke nor garnished Pepsi. And neither debated how many genders there are
(3) China shall more than likely simply mind own business as business and unlike (read, impossible) to be changed by anything US can do, including hot war
US and China cannot ‘change each other’, Beijing tells American envoy in first official meeting
(4) USA efforts to isolate China is impractical, and shall only isolate self, because most of the world requires engagement as non-continental economies looking for markets and help must
VW, Mercedes and BMW Cross Their Fingers as China Risk Escalates
If Germany’s carmakers are doing some soul-searching after over-relying on Russia, their CEOs aren’t saying so.
(5) Serious harm is being done by the US to the US by works of its extreme left libtard wokedom and seriously right neocons.
The centre, like the people all around the world already starting to, shall wake up sooner than many would suppose at this juncture, a wager, and once so, all should be good, and better than ever, as we go through 2026 TeoTwawKi and 2032 Darkest Interregnum, coincidental markers in time
These tweets make not-all-correct but nevertheless less cogent points
Great SCMP editorial.
Exactly what I argued: the US tech war on China should be understood as protectionism - an admission of weakness against the manufacturing behemoth that China is - rather than sanctions, which are from a position of strength.https://t.co/R5oCMMCQtr
(6) The MSM must be cancelled, and likely by the free market, at some juncture
(7) In the meantime we must put up with by-the-people-for-the-people-against-other-people small-minded petty and imbecilic kibitz-dom mob twisting facts to suit, and making up fiction when facts fail
To wit, any and every thing China does and not-do is just-wrong. Today's samplers from suspect NYT
China Lucks Out Again as Out-of-Control Rocket Booster Falls in the Pacific
For the fourth time, the country’s space program used a 23-ton launcher that made an uncontrolled re-entry back to Earth, prompting nervous sky-watching and airspace closures in Europe.
“The thing I want to point out about this is that we, the world, don’t deliberately launch things this big intending them to fall wherever,” Ted Muelhaupt, a consultant for the Aerospace Corporation, a nonprofit group largely financed by the U.S. government that performs research and analysis, said in a news conference on Wednesday. “We haven’t done that for 50 years.” ...
... Because of the orientation of the orbit, if you live somewhere like Chicago orfarther north — that includes almost all of Europe and all of Russia — the odds of being hit were always zero. The last few orbits also completely missed Asia and South America, so no one on those two continents ever had to worry ...
“You’ve got far better odds of winning the lottery” than of being hit by part of the Chinese rocket, Dr. Muelhaupt said. “The risk to an individual is six per 10 trillion. That’s a really small number.” (That is, if 10 trillion Chinese Long March 5B rocket boosters fell out of the sky, six of them would hit you personally.)...
And it is probable that debris from American rockets and spacecraft will turn up on land again, too, like the SpaceX vehicle part found in Australia.
(7-ii) re Space aliens ... nothing to worry about w/r to UFOs, only China recon, so can relax because nothing can be done. IOW 'we wasted your tax dollars to make war on sand people wearing pyjamas and going around in flip flops driving Toyota SUVs whilst 'peer' competitor somehow leapfrogged to extent that the technologies seem and practically speaking are voodoo magic ... but let us not panic the people by the people and focus on Ukraine initiative first, and manage a hail-may by way of CHIPS act. And, oh, yeah, China copied, stole, and otherwise force-took our technologies, remember that and always keep in front of mind
Many Military U.F.O. Reports Are Just Foreign Spying or Airborne Trash
Forget space aliens or hypersonic technology; classified assessments show that many episodes have ordinary explanations.
... This article is based on interviews with American officials familiar with the findings of the Pentagon and intelligence agencies’ examination of the incidents. The officials spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the classified work ...
... Some of the incidents have been formally attributed to Chinese surveillance — with relatively ordinary drone technology — and others are also thought to be connected to Beijing. China, which has stolen plans for advanced fighter planes, wants to learn more about how the United States trains its military pilots, according to American officials...
... Much of the information about the unidentified phenomena remains classified. While Congress has been briefed on some of the conclusions about foreign surveillance, Pentagon officials have kept most of the work secret — in large measure because they do not want China or other countries to know that their efforts to spy on the American military were detected...
...Military officials have largely come to the same conclusion...
...Besides the images of the green triangles, the other recordings released by the Pentagon have not been categorized as surveillance incidents, at least so far. But Pentagon officials do not believe that any of them represent aliens, either...
...One of the videos,referred to as GoFast,appears to show an object moving at immense speed. But an analysis by the military says that is an illusion created by the angle of observation against water. According to Pentagon calculations, the object is moving only about 30 miles per hour...
...Another video,known as Gimbal, shows an object that appears to be turning or spinning. Military officials now believe that is the optics of the classified image sensor, designed to help target weapons, make the object appear like it is moving in a strange way.
