I do think that US military is far more sober than US politicians, so let’s hope that they really have some leverage within the system and can put their foot down when push comes to shove. Otherwise, we’re very likely headed for a nuclear holocaust.
All the bombing of Yemen US has been doing sure fooled me.
You just have to look at a map to understand that. For starters, Taiwan imports over 90% of its energy. China just needs to blockade trade for Taiwan and the economy there will collapse overnight. Taiwan being an island makes it much harder to US to assist it as well, and US would be acting as the attacker in this scenario because China can launch missiles from the mainland just the same way Yemen does, while US would be forced to move assets from far away.
It’s because people are expecting US to start cutting rates at some point like the other countries have been, and since the rates are currently high it makes the dollar relatively stronger.
I do hope you’re right because a direct conflict between US and China would be cataclysmic for the whole world. I also agree that US military likely understands that this wouldn’t end well for them, but it seems that the political class in US is completely unhinged. There’s also little sign that their puppets administering the island learned all the wrong lessons going by these statements https://inews.co.uk/news/world/taiwan-learning-ukraine-china-attack-3122942
I do think China will try to avoid a military confrontation, but there are red lines like putting missiles in Taiwan that would force China to act.
Given that US can’t even win a war against Yemen, it’s pretty clear that burger empire has no business trying to take on China. Not to mention that US has lost every one of their own simulated conflicts in South China sea. Of course, we all know that burgerlanders lack the intelligence and wisdom to learn from their debacles, and will cheerfully rush into a war in China.
No idea what ccp is, but CPC is demonstrably good for the people of China. Anybody who can’t see that needs to stop guzzling propaganda.
Won’t somebody think of the CEOs!

I really like fish because it has excellent contextual autocomplete based on the folder you’re in. I haven’t used any other shell that was as good at it.
Pro tip. If you don’t want people to call you a child then don’t act like one.
sure, updated with a translation
Confusing insults with ad hominem is a common mistake that individuals with low intellectual capacity make.
When you definitely know what ad hominem means, also nobody dodged any of your “points”. I addressed them repeatedly, but I guess lacking basic reading comprehension you had trouble understanding what I wrote.
No, blasting the coast is desert storm levels of obliteration, anything less is as I said earlier “one arm behind back”.
US doesn’t have this capability kiddo.
Military Ships are still there, commercial ships are still traveling there.
What part of commercial traffic having dropped by 90% are you struggling with there?
Edit there’s lots to disagree on rationally, but the depth of the US mic is not anywhere close to being tapped, by ability.
you keep on coping
No, ass kicking implies being defeated in what you set out to do which was to protect shipping. US navy failed to do its mission. It was defeated by Yemen. Blasting the whole coast was precisely what US tried to do at the start with the air strikes, and that achieved nothing. Furthermore, it’s pretty clear that US lacks the industrial capacity and supply chains to maintain this for much longer.
Ass kicked?
Yes, ass kicked because US navy failed to accomplish its primary mission which was to keep the waterway open for the empire.
According to London-based shipping services company Clarksons, the number of container ships at the mouth of the Red Sea en route to or from the Suez Canal decreased by 90% in the first week of January 2024 compared to the same period the previous year.

Edit edit the linked article doesn’t show an ass kicking, it shows a contested navel space, which it sounds like is going “just fine”, but is risky. And obviously insanely expensive.
A contested naval space between US navy and a country that doesn’t have a navy. 😂
“It is every single day, every single watch, and some of our ships have been out here for seven-plus months doing that,” said Capt. David Wroe, the commodore overseeing the guided missile destroyers.
“This is the most sustained combat that the U.S. Navy has seen since World War II — easily, no question,” said Bryan Clark, a former Navy submariner and a senior fellow at the Hudson Institute. “We’re sort of on the verge of the Houthis being able to mount the kinds of attacks that the U.S. can’t stop every time, and then we will start to see substantial damage. … If you let it fester, the Houthis are going to get to be a much more capable, competent, experienced force.”
US also spent over a billion dollars trying to attack Yemen with nothing to show for it https://en.royanews.tv/news/52092/2024-06-15
And of course none of these problems would apply to burger empire who would have to attack China from across the ocean requiring far more complex supply chains. I mean just look how well burgerlander proxy war against Russia is going.
