It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

China is probably not yet ready to mount a complex air-sea invasion of Taiwan, with the mighty USA at its back. But it would have no real difficulties making land invasion into Russia.

Taiwan.. not yet, too hard, but Russia is officially a GO opines our dunk tank subject, further free military advice for China can be found in the article

Why though?

Stupid idiot with no conception of anything beyond map painting games.

Why attack Russia? They couldn't occupy it, you would need to erase the local language and replace it with Chinese which isn't going to be something you get away with in current China not to mention the way the rest of the world would use this. Takeover or occupation is off the table. So what else? Install puppet that does what you want? Russia is already trading with China and doing what they want (mostly). What benefit does China get out of this? Unfair trading relationship? They're communists, not capitalists, a colonial style unfair trading relationship like the west enters into by installing puppets everywhere in the world is not ideologically on the table for them.

It's so fucking stupid. It really highlights how stupid these people are and that they really don't understand anything at all.

"Attack your biggest ally so we can have easier time attacking you later. Sincerely, your biggest enemy" - nothing more than that, and even US diplomats are like that just not this openly, so what you expect of some random journo.
