The one-child policy resulted in millions of “excess males,” which would be great for conducting a Taiwan invasion with very high casualties.
The more of these unmarried men who die on the beaches or at sea, the better, from the CCP’s POV.
OTOH, these single-child-family males were generally raised as “little emperors” with no male siblings, weak and timid fathers, etc, so they are not exactly Rambo material.
YouTube viewing for later today. Thanks.
It isn’t about Putin. Russia has been a despotic and imperialist state for as long as one can remember. I don’t care if the Russians want to live in a despotic state, but if the Russians want to subjugate other nations by any means necessary, I firmly believe that they must be stopped.
I read that the US gov are now trying to foster partisans behind Russian lines. Idiotic.
What this means to the Russians is that no part of Ukraine can remain for the west to launch attacks from. The Russians will take it all to end the war. Once the proxy is gone, NATO will not risk sponsoring an attack from their soil.
Russia is withdrawing troops from newly NATO border with Finland. This war never about NATO. This is your standard issue Russian imperialist war of conquest as practiced by Russia for hundreds of years against its smaller neighbors. Only the historically ignorant and useful idiot Kremlin bootlickers can’t see that.
The division you see is between those who see the road ahead and those who are applying Cold War thinking to what’s happening today.
Do the words “Cold War thinking” suggest a time frame between 1947 and 1991, or Tsarist Russia?

First Russian ‘doomsday’ submarine with nuclear drones enters active service
Brady Knox - Yesterday 4:48 PM
The first Russian ‘doomsday’ submarine, armed with underwater nuclear drones, was put into active service in a ceremony Friday amid the country’s invasion of Ukraine.
The Belgorod, the first Project 09852 special purpose nuclear-powered submarine, was commissioned in the northern Russian city of Severodvinsk, the headquarters of the Northern Fleet, according to U.S. Naval Institute News. The ship was launched in April 2019 after its original commission date of late 2021 was postponed due to COVID-19, according to state news agency TASS.
The Belgorod is the first submarine capable of launching the Poseidon, an “Intercontinental Nuclear-Powered Nuclear-Armed Autonomous Torpedo,” the largest torpedo ever created, according to naval expert H. I. Sutton. The nuclear-armed torpedo is twice as large as submarine-launched ballistic missiles and 30 times larger than a standard torpedo.
The weapons system made headlines in May when Dmitry Kiselyov, a presenter for state-owned media company Russia-1, threatened to use the Poseidon to destroy the United Kingdom and Ireland in a nuclear tsunami. He said the weapon’s 100-megaton yield would produce a 500-meter high radioactive tsunami that would turn the British Isles into a radioactive desert, a claim disputed by Western experts.
send lots of suppressed rifles. 2 per family with 500 rounds each. Aim for the nose.
NOt sure if their is a code of Bushido in Taiwan today...hell, not enough in Japan.
I take issue with Ritter here:
“One that saw NATO withdraw its infrastructure back to 1997 levels and respect Russia’s legitimate security interests in it’s immediate sphere of influence, such as Ukraine, Belarus, etc.”
“Influence” my great big hairy anti-commie ass. This is about more than “influence” and Ritter knows it. Putin’s a stuck record, like a British remoaner who just can’t accept that the UK voted to leave the European Union and who will literally spend the rest of their lives feeling butt-hurt and praying for some hero to fly in and drag Britain back into the bloc by its ankles.
When will someone have the balls to tell Putin that his Second Great Patriotic War to reclaim Soviet lands and create Novorussya was a butt-hurt retard’s fantasy from day one, and the more that tankie twat keeps trying to sell it the stupider it gets?
If Russia wanted to have “influence” in Ukraine, instead of invading Georgia and Chechnya, waging cyber war on Estonia for no reason, and taking down western hospitals with ransomware attacks, again for no real reason, MAYBE the oligarchs should’ve been put up against a wall and the TRILLION DOLLARS they stole out of the Russian economy spent on doing things that Russian people actually NEED.
Like, repairing Russian roads that haven’t been fixed since the 1970s. Or getting vaguely modern infrastructure into the rural towns. The BBC followed the funeral of one Russian solider to a town less than 50km outside of Moscow and I was gobsmacked - it was literally like being teleported into 1950s post-war British pre-fab land. Some houses didn’t even have running water. It was literally the most perfect location for filming a mid-20th century cold war thriller - because NOTHING has advanced even to the level of the 1980s there.
Russia is a third world country BECAUSE of Putin and his oligarchs. Unsurprisingly, not a single one of the modernising ex-Soviet states that decided not to indulge his backward-looking circle jerk is tempted by the utterly cretinous “charmless offensive” from their angry retard bigger brother.
Turning the clock back to 1997 merely means, from their point of view, rolling back the clock to a point where they thought Russia was a completely drunken basket case of a rump, ruled by a sack of utter spanners and thieves. The one good thing Russia can count on with a clock rolled back to #97 levels is, in ‘97 the rest of the ex-SSR community thought “It’s early days and maybe these angry drunks will die off or grow out of it.”
Remember that Putin, like Xi, is a Communist. And it doesn’t surprise me that the Putin worshippers also worship Xi, and the tinpot dictators of Iran, North Korea, Venezuela, et all.
Putin is a mass murderer. He came to power in Russia by mass murder. It is normal to hate Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer, John Wayne Gacy, and Putin. It is a sign of good moral health, not a derangement.
Life is really that simple, is it? Why haven’t the Chinese done it already?
... is between low IQ Q-tards, conspiracy nutcases in general, liberaltarians, closet-Nazis with a hardon for Vladimir Putin, and then finally normal conservatives.
The most annoying thing (and scary) about the Q-tards, the nutcases etc., is they're dumb, arrogant and have the zealotry of end of day cultists, so they make pronouncements like yours constantly and won't listen to rational discourse under any circumstance.
Good job. You've just insulted every member of FR with the exception of the GOPe RINO Uniparty cucks.
Facts not in evidence. The Jury will disregard.
Taiwan should adopt the Swiss model of self defense.

Ritter is a pedophile.
Convicted pedophile.

I think Xi Jing Ping has also infiltrated the US Military what’s why we Woke.
They say Putin Derangement Syndrome can be contagious.
