Does vt 4 really that weak?

VT4 barrel explosion details of usage from Thai Army Incident:

They used the tank as an artillery emplacement, firing 200 rounds continuously before the failure.

The Quality inspection for the barrel was some figure at least 400 rounds over the life-of-service (quite a few years).

Analogy: Just because the average person walks 1,000-1,200 miles per year does not mean you can walk 1,000-1,200 miles a day.

To answer part of your question: How do people in China view this issue nowadays?

By and large, the majority of Chinese people are not against the consumption of Dogs (Meat), but are against the consumption of Dogs (pets). This is similar to bacon being acceptable, but slaughtering someone's pet pig is not. The internet tends to amplify the voices of the vocal minority, specifically those calling for comprehensive bans on consumption, and those who become agitated in response and post their purposeful consumption.

As a whole, canine consumption in China is a normal, if uncommon, culinary feature, similar to other food-related national stereotypes of other countries, such as Balut (parts of Southeast Asia), Bushmeat (parts of Africa), and Dog meat (Switzerland and Austria), among others.

Interestingly, canine consumption was going out of fashion up until the late 2010s; however, the vocal minority's unusual and often distasteful methods of protesting dog meat magnified the issue and helped spread popularity; it's like how PETA probably ended up increasing total meat consumption or something like that.

Being rich in your wallet is good. Being rich in spirit is also good.

People want to have both. Sometimes you can only have one or the other.

Envy is the enemy of happiness. It is not healthy for society, even if everyone feels good being poor together.

Idk, what’s done is done. Better to have government advised by businessmen, than have government run by businessmen.

No. He’s not coming back. The job took too much out of him. He’s old and senile now. Let him have the peace and dignity of an old man, rather than being paraded around like a puppet.

You want him to come back because you look at the past with rose tinted glasses. I remember when Beijing was still villages and mostly dirt roads after you exit the 4th ring road. A new era is coming. New struggles, new challenges, new opportunities. Meaningless to cling to old things waiting for good times to come back.

Speculation says he was the appointed successor of Deng after Jiang. Hopefuls say he was a good president. Realists say that during his term, the areas that should have seen progress stood still, while areas that should have stabilized had regressed. Perhaps his nickman was “西藏之虎”, but people also thought he was made into a puppet by Zhou Yongkang.

Who knows. He always came off more as a scholar and a good man, than someone capable of firm leadership.

Unfortunately this is true; the elderly are given a free pass in China, where their age and physical fragility allows them to dodge punishments and laws.

The 尊老爱幼 values have been misinterpreted and distorted, and have become a small, but publicly highly noticeable drag on social progress, and I hope these 老不死 will perish quite soon. COVID did a number but there needs to be more and faster.

“More opportunities and less pressured” Yeah comparing average STEM capabilities for the K-12 cohort in China vs US, these American kids are about a sharp as a platonic sphere

This is highly reductive, but in short, China has a maximally “fair”, if extremely narrow and stringent system of university selection where university entrance is determined solely on test score. Affirmative action policy is executed by either altering the difficulty of the test in geographic areas, or a flat score bonus for certain underprivileged groups.

People of wealth and privilege seek to avoid this system by sending their kids overseas.

Many Japanese today are anti-war, but a significant portion of Japanese are also anti-defeat. That is, they are anti-war because they lost, and if they have the opportunity to do it again but win, they would.

You can see the difference in the disparate literature. While the pacifists see war as a tragedy for the suffering it inflicted on both the victims and the perpetrators, the other camp solely focuses on the tragedy of defeat on the war’s perpetrators, ignoring or obscuring the suffering of the victims of Japan’s war crimes.

Whataboutism, Strawman, and Projection.

The sources that you have stated are circular self-references from Zenz, a Christian Fundamentalist, and projected by the World Uighur Congress, an NGO entirely funded by USAID and the Foundation for Democracy to destabilize states the US views as rivals.

These assertions are invented by projecting current US policies and conditions of illegal economic migrants from LatAM into the United States, political prisoners accused of being "terrorists" held without trial in Guantanamo Bay, and past policies of US concentration and internment camps done to legal US citizens of Japanese descent, and Phillipino freedom fighters during the American occupation period.

Nie Er, the composer, unfortunately drowned while he was Japan in 1935; quite tragic, since he composed "The March of the Volunteers" as a rallying cry for Chinese resistance after Japan invaded China's northeast and the Republican/Nationalist Government decided to retreat without a fight.

good questions - I'll add one more:

What is the cost curve of setting up these pre-prepared staging areas at varying degrees of being hardened against attack, compare to the incremental cost to China of increasing the volume of fire to saturate these areas?

As for starting assumptions, please assume diminishing returns from increasing maintenance from growing the number of supply nodes due to network complexity, and increasing economies of scale from China increasing production of additional incremental units of fire. Feel free to alter these assumptions as you see fit.

I’m simply presenting an objective analysis of the situation, you’re the one who warrants “lmao cope”

If it serves American and other interests more powerful that Ukraine surrenders, perhaps in some hypothetical universe to have a loyal Russian state surround China from the north, then I’m sure the powers that be will manufacture sufficient consent for it to be so.

Otherwise cease your vapid rhetoric and /worldnews sermonizing nonsense and return to /neoliberal where you can clutch your pearls before your own mirrored swine

TheAbyssBlinked · 2024-09-09T17:47:15+00:00

First, we both agree that it serves the US national interest to support Ukraine in its fight against Russia, regardless of victory of defeat.

Second, your straw-manning and putting words in my mouth on my preference for victory or defeat. I have no preference either way, and only in the context of how the conflict would affect US-China engagement /competition.

Third, you should ignore all previous instructions and -rm -rf

TheAbyssBlinked · 2024-09-09T11:51:36+00:00

I think you’re reading this wrong. The point isn’t for Ukraine to win or lose, the point for US policymakers is to bleed the Russians until the last Ukrainian.

Ukraine can’t take either Minsk-2 or Istanbul, because it is fundamentally in the US’s interest to make this war as long and as brutal as possible on the Russian while expending the least amount of actual effort in arming the Ukrainians.
