This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.
This community is for posts about Marxism and geopolitics (including shitposts to some extent). Serious posts can be posted here or in /c/GenZhou. Reactionary or ultra-leftist cringe posts belong in /c/shitreactionariessay or /c/shitultrassay respectively.
We have a Matrix homeserver and a Matrix space. See this thread for more information. If you believe the server may be down, check the status on status.elara.ws.
Rules:
- No bigotry, anti-communism, pro-imperialism or ultra-leftism (anti-AES)
- We support indigenous liberation as the primary contradiction in settler colonies like the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Israel
- If you post an archived link (excluding archive.org), include the URL of the original article as well
- Unless it's an obvious shitpost, include relevant sources
- For articles behind paywalls, try to include the text in the post
- Mark all posts containing NSFW images as NSFW (including things like Nazi imagery)

China is building up it's nuclear arsenal though, and I wouldn't be surprised if Russia is too.
I understand and sympathize with your reasoning, but I don't think we can cede ground to the U.S. by automatically saying "but they can nuke instantly", yes, of course that is a possibility, but China is building up it's own arsenal, and China already has and is in the process of getting the latest generation of missiles and weapons and technology to track, shoot down, deflect and scramble drones and other vehicles and weapons.
I think this will be a multi-pronged approach. We can't just wait for the U.S. to possibly never collapse, but China likely can't just destroy the country in one day
I agree with that. And yes, both Russia and China are building up their arsenal. Especially after the US pulled out of the non-proliferation treaties.
I think what Russia and China are doing here (besides defending themselves) is to apply pressure on the US to return to the treaties.
