Fair enough my point is if you're worried about world stability that there are plenty of other countries who are interested in World stability and will pick up the mantle at the US leaves on the ground.
Yeah China's bullying the Philippines however the Philippines are also a bit of a proxy to the US so they're just naturally hostile because they don't like the US. I'm sure there's other reasons and yes they absolutely have imperialistic ambitions but I would say that when we make comparisons to United States or even like the USSR I think China has more peaceful than these states and is less belligerent.
Not to say that China isn't belligerent only that I think they're generally less corrosive to the world
Y'all on .world love to point instances as if it's the be all end all.
I really fucking hate this style of argumentation so let me handle this now.
This is called a genetic fallacy and it's utilized to invalidate an argument without actually engaging in the substance of that argument like you haven't. If you can't support your opinion don't argue, don't offer comment, just block me, down vote, and move on because otherwise I'm going to call you out on using a fallacy to completely sidestep the very valid points I made. I'm going to point out how you didn't engage with any substance of anything I had to say such as the United States being a much worse stabilizing Force than China.
Here why don't you support your statement that China is raping Africa worse than the United States has exploited the entirety of the global South including Africa.
China is being a massive bully to the Philippines. That fucking sucks. They shouldn't really do that. You know who else is a massive bully, the United States. Should we point out all of the countries the United States abuses through sanctions and the mif?
I didn't say China was sunshine and rainbows I only said that there are more stabilizing influence on the world than the United States is and I have plenty of History of the United States fucking things up far far worse than China ever dreamed of doing.
Your on .world so I don't actually expect you to engage with the substantive aspects of my argument instead I expect you to fall into ad hominem attacks and more genetic fallacies.
So would you like to continue a conversation by providing some facts to back up your claims or am I just going to sit here and rake you over the coals for acting like a fool and offering an opinion without any substantive argument?
You're acting as if there aren't large will powers that aren't chopping at the bit to take the place of United States to maintain World stability.
You're acting as if the United States single handily keeps the world stable which is absolutely not true.
If anything the United States is more of a destabilizing force in the global South and it is a stabilizing Force.
Right now I would say China is probably the most stabilizing force in Africa due to its Belton Road initiative and they're working on helping stabilize South America where the United States is constantly overthrowing governments that aren't friendly to the United States.
The Chiquita banana Wars come to mine along or the overthrow of Allende when they had a perfectly reasonable centrally planned socialist government in place. The exiled capitalism Chile worked with United States to violently overthrow the government when the people were objectively happy with what they had.
I do not think the United States is a stabilizing Force around the world
Man I remember arguing with somebody that said that China would want the USA to be stable and strong and that they don't want the USA playing these games
My response is that China's loving this and they're going to be breaking in profits and low and behold.
China does not care about the United States stability as long as the United States is not focused on China.
I just find your characterization of these Pilots super disrespectful Which is my primary reason for objecting.
There's a million other explanations other than suicide.
Maybe you should read something other than all Rags whipping everybody up and thinking it's a pilot suicide and wait and see to what the NTSB actually has to say about this crash since this was a mandated report by ICAO.
Many people thought Air France flight 447 was caused my pilot suicide but it turned out to be caused by a massive amount of confusion through Frozen pito tubes.
FAA issued Special Airworthiness Information Bulletin (SAIB) No. NM-18-33 on December 17, 2018, regarding the potential disengagement of the fuel control switch locking feature
The report directly calls this out and says that it could be a contributing factor.
Okay so fatigue may not be an issue but you have no clue if there are other issues at play here.
The report mentions no indication of pilot suicide. There is no evidence or reporting or comments from anywhere indicating that these Pilots had issues.
There is some evidence that Captain may have had a legitimate medical issue during takeoff which could have resulted in this crash however that is not the same as intentionally making mistake or attempting suicide.
If these were American Pilots you would not be so insistent on this being suicide.
This reeks the same way the Ethiopian flight 302 did. A ton of people initially believed that the pilots committed suicide until it was revealed that there was a misbehaving system that wasn't properly recorded on the black boxes.
What they have right now is that the data on the black boxes Doesn't indicate a mechanical failure. That doesn't mean there isn't one.
As you pointed out it could be fatigue. I talked with a pilot that's the one a 787. He mentioned the detent system in the fuel cutoff valve can weaken over time causing them to be easily tripped.
We have no idea what the scheduling of these people like it could also be due to fatigue which would mean they are not at fault.
I called you out on this comment being racist because it feels racist to accuse these Indian Pilots of committing suicide when they have such extensive records, the 787 has already had several whistleblowers come out on it and it's had to be grounded for other issues, it's made by Boeing who seems to suck at making planes, There is absolutely no proof a suicidal intention from their personal life or professional life.
To keep claiming this is a pilot suicide Is extraordinarily disrespectful To the pilots who lost their lives in this crash.
When these type of crashes happen in the United States we don't immediately turn around and claim pilot suicide. We wait and see the way we're supposed to instead of speculating.
If you don't want to get called out for racism don't act racist.
Unfortunately I have bad news for you A lot of the time these countries are worse when it comes to Mental Health in the FAA.
I try to get a simple recreational pilot license that they got very upset with my history of anxiety. I'd have to get reevaluated every 6 months by a state psychologist on my own dime continue to fly.
Still there there's not any evidence indicating any sort of mental health history. Like the pilot of MH370 supposedly lost all of his money and a bunch of bad trades. Not only that they found the exact flight the plane seems to have taken on the dude's personal simulator.
Before we judge this to be a suicide let's at least wait to hear about the Pilot's personal lives and what conditions they were in.
I do get where so many people are coming from in this but it is so disrespectful to the pilots and their families to just immediately assume that this is a suicide when there's not even good speculative evidence for it

I'm not necessarily hand waving away the issues you have I just think that there's plenty of countries jockeying around that'll fill the void left.
It's just a difference of opinion.
I do agree that it remains to be seen whether or not that's good or a bad thing.
