Let a hundred fronts bloom
If things really do heat up there it's a clear tell Taiwan is about to pop off imo. Light too many fires for the empire to put out and there's no way they'll be able to square up with the world's dominant industrial power.
That said, I don't think Korea is going to heat up too much. There have been much more siginificant flare-ups in the past.
I think it's the opposite. If a front opens in Korea then Taiwan is off the cards. China joined in the first Korean War to make sure an US puppet didn't border them in Manchuria. A second Korean War would involve that, but also would involve China making sure a nuclear armed North Korea doesn't implode. China doesn't entirely trust North Korea and also doesn't want the inevitable fallout with a massive displaced population either.
For Taiwan to become a battleground you'd need such a massive Korean War that it becomes an a war over the future of all East Asia.
Thank you, Comrade Beast. I take back everything bad I've ever said about your delicious Lunchly™ products. (hacked billboards near Chicago)
South Korea has been freed from all ballistic missile limitation, and has just unveiled an enormous, 3000km, ballistic missile bunker buster, with a claimed penetration ability of 100m. additionally, the US B-21 Stealth Bomber program is progressing at an impressive pace, with basically production ready design and 3 airworthy units under testing, and can be deployed to bases in Japan or South Korea with the US's newest bunker busters. In China's Southwest, India also has robust and modern ballistic and cruise missile programs, including hypersonics based on Russian 3M22 Zircon, and has foreign buyers in the Philippines.
so, can someone tell me why is China building it's cutting edge, extremely massive and utterly immobile particle accelerator lithography machine in Xiong'an New Area instead of Xi'an? okay, the researchers are from Tsinghua University, but you also have 300km/hr trains running back and forth every day.
That South Korean Hyunmoo-5 IRBM is literally the same weight as the US Minuteman 3 ICBMs. It has an 8 ton (yes, that's correct, 8000kg) warhead and impacts the target at Mach 10.
It's a weapon with the purpose of a first decapitation strike against the leadership of the DPRK. The thing is, if you're part of the military leadership of the DPRK, and you see this giant missile being rolled out, do you launch the nukes? This whole thing is a massive escalation. The closest the ROK can get to building a nuke without actually doing so.
uh is the korean war happening again
Won't be immediate. No troop build up reports. I think that might be coming next though.
its looks like an escalation mostly, with the DPRK taking defensive action and the ROK becoming more militarized
Yeah but this seems to be quite the escalation, troop mobilization https://www.wionews.com/world/north-korea-claims-14-million-youths-applied-to-the-army-in-two-days-for-sacred-war-against-south-korea-767856 (based) is not something to take lightly due to the extra strain on an already massive army. this could be real.
gotta settle all the scores before climate change kills us all
Trump just dancing probably did more to improve his campaign than him actually getting shot lol. Meanwhile Kamala goes to Joe Rogan and still comes out as the most generic dem politician ever to exist.
Recently, Bolsonaro supporters got angry at Lula da Silva because his government gave a medal to Xuxa Meneghel (famous children's entertainer and actress, pretty sure she did support Lula in 2022 too) and his wife, Rosangela da Silva (Her nickname is Janja), for encouraging children to get vaccinated and some pro-mental health stuff. It's very funny that they get upset about this, while Bolsonaro himself gave medals to literal neo-Nazis and people who were related to actual Nazis.
Kamala is getting cooked in a Fox News interview right now, complete surrender to the far-right on immigration
Edit: lmao holy shit she is just falling for one trap after another, she's noticeably flustered
why would jill stein do this
Anyone remember when Osama Bin Laden was killed? The echoes of people chanting “USA USA” still makes me sick when I remember it.
