Is that the person who publishes the Epoch times in Canada? Or is it the Falun gong nut cases? Someone entirely different who I havent heard of yet? Please I need to know what propaganda machine published this.

Not an idiot they are an intelligence asset. When all the evidence shows America couldn’t have and isn’t winning the war, anyone pushing the war agenda isn’t just a retard they are probably knowingly pushing the psyop. Any blue check claiming America has done anything but blunder this entire conflict probably gets paid by the CIA

The war was a shit show by a shitty government.

China: "Wow they're a lot less tough than we thought"

They lost how many soldiers in that?

I'm not sure how many US imperial troops died, but they did lose a good amount of aircraft:

[–] krolden@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 day ago

Ehh I'd argue that money was already lost down the black hole of defense spending.

Looking forward to seeing how they'll pay for the replacements

So glad that American's voted for the "No more wars" president while hoping for a better cost of living.

The US is not a democracy, its a one-party capitalist empire, and even its controlled opposition wing wanted to go to war with Iran for a long time. The democrats under Biden also massively increased funding to Israel to help destroy palestine:

Americans could have had socialized healthcare for what they've sent to Isreal to bomb poor brown people.

No they couldn't, because they'd literally start killing citizens before they'd allow that.

hey usa, china is building tons of high-speed rail. they're the leaders in decarbonizing their energy mix. they're building tons of housing to handle population growth. they're financing infrastructure projects in the global south. why not try beating them at all that?

no? just wars again? okay.

The US is basically a "this is good for bitcoin", but as a country.

Its slow, humiliating, public suicide is even more pathetic than great britain's.

I, for one, think it's funny.

It is absolutely maddening to see American pundits defend every dumbshit, ruinous, genocidal policy over the last twenty years by pointing at China and claiming, "We had to show them we were the boss".

From AI to A-bombs, there's nothing you can't get away with by insisting "China Bad! This will stop them!"
