        Yeah, China are being “generic assholes” right now, but not crossing the lines into “serious villain shit” yet, at least for people who aren’t in China.

        But if they touch Taiwan, oh hell yeah.

            Yes.

            And when they start murdering people we bring down the wrath of God on them.

            That’s the problem with Russia, you have to be nice, up to the point they cross the line, then you turn the doom music on.

            We needed to start crushing their balls with a hydraulic press when they took Crimea, this is on us.

                If they try for Taiwan, the whole west, you know, the people who depend on Tsmc chips for literally everything.

                We went to war over oil you better believe we’d mobilize to fuck for literally all our tech.

                  over oil against Iraq. And that’s a shame. Even back then “the whole west” wasn’t united behind that lie.

                  China isn’t Iraq.

                  Iran neither. Iraq was an artificial state. Iran is there in some form for more than 2 millennia. 3?

                  Russia is in Ukraine. Israel is, with the help of U.S. trying to start a war in “middle east”. Let’s say that China “try for Taiwan”, do you really think that the U.S. can “mobilize” effectively on all these fronts. And would Europe follow U.S.?

                  Another question would be, let’s say that Trump is the next president: What would that change about your world war 3 fantasies?

                    Not much actually.

                    Because the president only controls the country if they aren’t a complete fucking moron, otherwise it’s like his first term where literally everyone told him to go fuck himself. :)

                    It helps not being lead by inbred fucktards, as the history of Russia has eminently proven.
