Ok?

I love how people who use this phrase unironically always fail to say the entire quote.

Oh, I get that, I’m sorry if I wasn’t clear; but I was more confused by the “cannibal” part.

But I think I get what you meant.

I’m still a bit confused though, how does that make him a cannibal? I know Shia did some really deranged stuff, but I’m still a bit confused as to how that fits in the situation.

Huh?

The population was actual stable until Andrew Tate moved there, which instantly and singlehandedly caused a migration crisis.

Do you realize what derailment means? It’s a safety term that occurs when even a single wheel loses contact with the rails. That can happen because of a strong wind or some minor debris on the track. Then they have to stop the train, examine for damage and realign the wheel which takes less then 30 minutes. Do you think trains are just flying off the rails and exploding every 3 hours?

But yes, corporate control of freight transport is a blight, and of course it will lead to reduced safety standards and other cost cutting measures.

Well you’d assume that’d be the case when a plane careens itself into the ground without a pilot at Mach 1.

Plus even if it did the thing that one Polish MiG did and fly into France without a pilot, the F-35 would have just flown right into the Atlantic before ultimately ditching.

Not really, the rail system is extremely extensive and connects everything, it is a lifeblood of America.

The problem is that it’s only for cargo and moving capital. No passenger trains allowed :3

Also most peasants and poorer people in general relied heavily on subsistence farming till far into the 20th century, and a clear field/“lawn” indicated you were rich enough to the point where you could buy your food and not worry about feeding yourself.

This tradition is technically a European one and has been for probably over a 1000 years at this point. I would assume that it’s present somewhere in Europe.

What? Can you show me where in history any Russian or Chinese state was founded on Racism?

The US was founded with literal chattel slavery and the extermination of the indigenous population. Not to mention extreme racism towards Jews, Italians, Slavs, the Irish, and so on.

This reminds me of that slip of the “Straight Pride” KKK leader at a city hall meeting, who when giving a speech accidentally let slip the best Freudian line.

“We’re just a peaceful racist group…. Wait no!”

After getting banned for rancid, homophobic, sexist, and downright bizarre views, they spent the next few months operating a hate campaign in which created dozens of accounts and then spammed users, mods, and admins with deranged rants, death threats, doxxing threats, and the most inane, bizarre, and psychotic messages you can think of.

True, but I guess that all depends on how many supplies the US has stockpiled in Taiwan, and how self sustainable the island is.

Plus I doubt starving the island into submission would make the Taiwanese people very happy with China, so it’s a giant big mess no matter how you approach it.

Yes, but then you enter a war of attrition which has its own host of problems. After a while war exhaustion would steadily increase, and the impact of a war on china’s/the US’/the worlds economy would be devastating.

It would be a lethal game of Chicken.

Everything you said is true, but still missile interception is a risky business, if not just a “pray to god you can shoot it down” event. Plus a high altitude bomber or sub can fire cruise missiles from a 1000 km away before quickly turning tail or slipping deep into the dark pacific, so interception would be difficult there are well.

Plus American interceptors out of Guam, Japan, Okinawa, Korea, or even Taiwan itself would complicate things significantly.

But you are right that Taiwan would be generally easier to defend.

However I doubt that the US has lagged behind in supersonic missile development, because if one thing, they absolutely love their weapons of war.

A war would be a shit show and Taiwan would probably be devastated either way. Either by a Chinese assault, or an American retaliation or counter assault.

It’s also concerning to think that it might just become a stalemate. The Chinese Navy would probably turn the US Navy to scrap, but at the same time how would a Chinese amphibious force fare against a city/mountainous terrain target that’s bristling every 3 meters with artillery, SAMS, tanks, anti ship launchers, AA, and Taiwanese/American soldiers?

It's not really WW2, you can just have planes, subs, or ships launch missiles from 100km out. You can't intercept them all, or many of them for that matter.
