I use Grok to double-check / sanity-check DeepSeek / Manus, and, well, the prognosis re thread topic, that be 2026 / 2032 I asked Grok "Can China feed its population?" and received the answer I expected, and the answer is satisfactory. Unsure why you brought up the topic. All domains wish to vary diet, and so trade this for that, so what? To be on topic, re Message 35256297 <<You have converted Manus into a worthless propaganda tool. Crap in, crap out. Long, boring, strident, biased BS.>> ... am not sure how exactly I did so. Grok says essentially same. Am guessing that Team USA should actually use Grok hive-mind to figure out hacks to the script that is so obviously playing out. MAGA likely not the altogether correct answer, but neither is Egypt, South Africa, or UK. There must be some other hack. Q: What would be the thematic narrative involving China, USA, Asimovian "Foundation", 2026 TeoTwawKi, 2032 Darkest Interregnum, and 2042 USA demographic-flip? IOW, where is USA and where is China headed in so far as longterm geostrategic this and debt-ly economics that ? Q: Has there ever been a successful example of any domain surviving 'demographic-flip' in 'diminished but enduring' format ? Q: Egypt, Byzantine, S Africa, and Persia sound like instances USA should try best to forestall, al least, hack, at best. China example is not applicable to the USA because China had and has (1) no civilisational-religion, (2) major river valleys ALL run from west to east, latitudinally, as opposed to longitudinally, (3) the majority population ALWAYS absorbed ALL invaders or otherwise defeated such, and (4) long recorded history teaching the succeeding generations what NOT to do, Yes?

The recent grandiose Nuremberg-style military parade complete with goose-stepping soldiers was a total farce. It was unbelievably bizarre. It celebrated the end of WWII and the defeat of Japan. But the Communists had little to do with it as the bulk of the big battles against the Japanese in China were fought by the Kuomingtan, i.e., the Nationalists. Maybe that is why the Fat Panda brought Putin to the party. Russia (the Soviets) did in fact fight the Nazis, the Japanese allies. But Mao and his bunch, not so much. Mao waited much longer but when he fought, he targeted his own people, killing many tens of millions of Chinese through direct action, starvation, etc.. Mao during his bloody reign (Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution) is responsible for more deaths than the total number of deaths during WWII. I cannot wait for a grand military parade to celebrate this important milestone. But whose mug do you see plastered all over China? And the guests of honor? Putin and Fat Rocket Man, two of the most authoritarian dictators on the planet. A real Mean Boys Tree House Club. I cannot see that trio of scorpions as dependable allies. And, really, Fat Rocket Man got showcased? Maybe the Fat Panda invited him so that the Chinese could take a tip from him on how to properly organize a really grand parade. I wonder if a Chinese Leni Riefenstahl filmed the stupid thing. Dictators love their big parades. The Fat Panda bloviated about peace, war, dialogue, and confrontation like Mother Teresa running for a Nobel Peace Prize - with Putin and Fat Rocket Man at his elbow, not to mention a host of dictator wannabes. Who the hell is he kidding? Not even Woody Allen could have dreamed up a more Daliesque scene. Just amazing. All held at Tiananmen Square where a lone Chinese hero single-handedly stopped a PLA tank column. I am sure the irony was lost on the Fat Panda. I am increasingly concerned that FP is simply not too bright.
