-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Why would a war with China star?
China has been a fucking angel when it comes to not increasing tensions and letting america act like they're hot shit in charge of everything because they know they're running laps around us economically and with the green energy boom they're leaving us in the dust.
America can't honestly think they can go toe to toe with a military peer halfway around the world, we haven't won a war against impoverished farmers in decades.
Do people think it looks like an actual attempt to invade China (lmao) or just like a huge naval battle around Taiwan?
Also America is too out of shape and broken from a complete lack of Healthcare leading to preventable diseases becoming lifelong ailments to even attempt a draft, that's before you consider half of the country would riot if the party they dont support tried to institute a draft.
If you ask some dip shit general with a BS in psychology, he 'knows how the enemy thinks' and has determined that war is inevitable.
Kind of like an arsonist with a lit match in one hand and a recently emptied can of gas in the other hand saying a fire is gonna break out any day now.
The USA is a firefighter that very obviously was also an arsonist.
It's also crazy how closely this aligns with the actual realities of fire fighters in this country.
The only local cases of arson I'm aware of were all started by firefighters looking to be heros and they were all caught when an investigator pointed out it's weird that a volunteer firefighter just happened to stumble across a fire in a remote building with no electric connection 3 minutes after the fire started.
