    I know memories are tiny and all that, but has the concept of mutually assured destruction completely left the “journalist” class’s brains? They do understand China and the US both have ICBMs and thus any aggression from either side may well escalate to thermonuclear war and the complete destruction of the earth… right? Like, everyone knows this. So when you type out anything along the lines of “prepare for US war against China” you’re also writing “prepare for nuclear holocaust.”

    This warmongering against China is completely deranged and if I were writing a fictional book, which I am, a completely fictional and made up book, one of the fictional characters protected under the first amendment (allegedly) would advocate, again, in a book, that anyone with a meaningful “platform”, Chinese citizen or American, who instigates war between the two countries be summarily executed. A couple Fox News idiots and Elon Musk, in a book, being shot live on tv would be far preferable to whatever the fuck is happening. These pieces of dogshit aid the military and CIA in every. Single. War and whatever else bad and nothing or very little ever happens to them. A fictional character seeks to change that.

      Do you know what is deranged? Westerners calling close the sky and bomb Russia knowing fully that Russia has the highest nukes in the world along with hypersonic glider vehicle.

        They are so used to war being something that happens There and not Here that they cannot comprehend it actually affecting them. War happens on TV or in the arms manufacturer’s bank accounts, not at home.

        They also probably believe their own propaganda that Russia is so outdated that none of their arsenal would work.

          Man, the concerts for #closeTheSkyortheChildrenWillDie was too surreal. Even when Putin raised the nukes for highest alert 🚨 the psychos were like… Yeah we have nukes too…

      We have to realize that the oligarchy is deranged and would rather slaughter the planet then give up even a fraction of their power. They think they will safety slip away to their bunkers in Africa and the Nordic countries where they expect to live like small lords, paying off what little is left of humanity to serve them.

      We can only hope when they do they get their throats slit in the middle of the night by one of their “servants.”
