A US Navy helicopter and a fighter jet went down Sunday during separate routine operations over the South China Sea,

and all crew members were safely rescued,

This. It’s not a “puppet, master” or “master, servant” relationship imo. It’s a suicide pact but with one person being excessively more psychotic then the other. Israel will just launch it’s nukes and the US will follow suit as the rest of the world retaliates.

IMHO:
“When Israel falls” it will launch all of its nukes and end the world’s because the US will follow it to the death. I do not see it as a “master, servant” relationship here. It’s more like a suicide pact. The US is so heavily invested in Isn’treal it will hollow itself out completely in order to keep it alive. Israel will start slaughtering it’s own if they try to leave. There is no scenario in which the US abandons Isn’treal without causing an even greater mass human death scenario then what’s already been done.

The way I see it, if things get so bad that the US WOULD abandon Isn’treal, it’s to the point where they are so doomed they would rather end the world then take the final loss. The only hope is that China and Russia develop the means by that point to counter enough of the Western nuclear arsenal to protect enough of their civilization to survive it.

That’s a laughably small amount to start a large scale mining operation. lol. This is just shuffling money to some contractors to not do jack shit.

No see, what he meant was, once they lose to Venezuela, they will then go lose to Cuba.

I feel like all these articles exist for it to make the fascists laugh and the rest of us grit our teeth. You don’t stop mass murderers by wagging a finger at them. I know why China doesn’t do more. I know why they can’t do more, and I accept that, but damn do these kinds of articles just rub salt in the wound. I’d rather them send what little aid they can and bite their tongue, because shit like this is no different to me than when someone says " Thoughts and prayers. "

Again, I know why, but god damn do I hate it.

I hate the term pipeline anymore because everyone views it as a literal pipe. That’s there’s just one link leading to the next. When it’s more like a network leading from one side to another. The more channels, the better the flow.

It’s like, it’s like a swamp. You have dirty water coming on from all over. Some is far off and murky. Some is just rain water falling near the end, but it all has to pass through the swamp that filters and cleans it.

And Swamps, can be pretty gross. Nasty stinking, terrible places to LIVE, but are great for the ecosystem. That’s what we actually have, a swamp, and as we progress through the swamp, things get cleaner and cleaner, but we won’t have the nice forests and clear streams at the end, if we don’t have all the nasty swamp bullshit at the other.

This is why I advocate against farther along leftists attacking some of the “murkier” parts of the swamp. It’s like, as an example, stupidpol shit. They are crude and offensive and say some dumb shit, but like, you aren’t going to get chuds even considering communism otherwise. Hell, I spent a lot of time in that community many years ago. Then I grew past it as I learned and grew. I used that community to turn a chuddy friend into a communist who sees China as the hope of Communism.

So, so long as some of those people “move through the swamp” to cleaner parts, then it’s doing it’s job. If we cut it down, drain it, then that water will never get clean. Same with the Dem socs, etc. not all “water” falls clean and pure from the sky.

Of course the problem becomes when we turn those filthier places into our homes. Water is meant to flow through a swamp, not sit in it forever. We have to watch out for damn and such. And some areas of the swamp is contaminated with “artificial pollutants.” Like Vaush types that are like a leaking oil pipe stuck in there. So obviously we have to keep an eye out for these things. The key point is identifying, is this person actually aiding in filtering people to the next level? Are they outputting cleaner water then what came in? If so, we should do what we can to support them, while still trying to bring that “cleaner but still dirty” water through the next level.

So yeah, that’s my thoughts on it. I guess I see Hasan as a part of the swamp doing some good work. Maybe? Idk. I have been typing and thinking about this for way too long now. Swamps are cool, or something. Thanks for tuning into my rambling.

Basically this. I wish more mods of leftist subs would mention Lemmy backups in the subreddit information.

Yeah ok. Have fun with that.

Yeah, that’s really weird. I thought all Soviet women were ugly old grandmas until magically changing into super models the exact second Capitalism took over.

They will be getting shot at by their own weapons they left behind when they left the last time.

Lemmy.world is a reddit foothold run by liberals fascists. You aren’t going to get much out of them. It’s a cesspool of liberal egotism. “Found one” is just another version of “ok tankie” etc, type responses they use to dismiss any real discussion. It’s the kind of response that 13 year olds think is funny and cool because their brains haven’t fully formed. Most lib brained redditors never matured past that age and federal interns that control the narrative there knows it. Hats off to you for trying. Maybe one of the two up voters you got will actually seek out more knowledge, but they are probably one of the few leftists also caught up in than pit of mental filth that calls itself a forums.

I appreciate China trying to play nice, but when you ask nicely of the biggest, shittiest, most belligerent and entitled bullies on earth to “please play nice” it’s gonna look at you, laugh it’s ass off, and then double down. Unless China plans to actually pursue some tangible repercussions, which the US knows it never will, then this kind of speak is pointless.

I’m not saying China should or should not, or even can, take action. Just saying, this kind of rhetoric does nothing.

People like that just don’t care to actually know anything and don’t want to acknowledge the suffering of anyone but themselves. They want to just have a quiet “peace” that is absent of any form of true justice. “I don’t care if innocents and children suffer and die so long as I don’t have to disrupt my life in any way.”

When you call up your ex’s friend to help you get back together.

What’s China’s stance on pesticide use? Cause we basically have to breathe that shit in the US.

Comments making this out like they are advocating to never wash clothes because I guess no one read the article. It starts about Denim clothes, which historically were invented as a workers clothes that were durable and wouldn’t be washed often. And because of that design, washing will degrade denim faster than normal clothes. They really should be only washed when needed. Unless you want to have the “worn” look much faster.

The rest of the article seems to just be "you don’t have to wash every piece of clothing because you wore it once for a few hours. Wash it when it’s actually dirty. "

Which I feel is reasonable? I change my undergarments and undershirts daily because they are directly contacting skin and get all my sweat and skin oils and all that gross shit on them. Pants every few days or weekly depending on use. Overshirts every other day or so. Bedsheets every few weeks because I shower at night before bed. If I didn’t shower before bed it would be weekly. But unless I’m camping or something, I really cannot go to bed without a shower. I’d feel gross.

As for the “wash clothes less for the environment” I mean, I’d be more ok with that line of thinking if we weren’t also allowing industry to burn through all the water reserves unhindered. And for the dumbest shit like cooling for AI hardware and shit. But also, it doesn’t actually take THAT mush water to wash clothes. On average, you use more water to take a shower than to run a load of laundry. Way more. If you want to save water without skipping proper hygiene. Take a bath instead of a shower. It uses even less water.

China has zero intentions of involving itself in any actual conflict. They have made that clear time and again.
