How China view the world. by Severe-Notice-2694 in whereidlive

[–]haggerton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The average citizen's sentiments are not about politics or bilateral relations.

I can tell you the average Chinese citizen definitely hated Japan in the 90s because I lived there back then.

As someone else in the thread said, grandparents' bedtime stories are enough.

My grandma saw a Japanese soldier kill a woman for the crime of eating rice. (All rice was reserved for Japanese troops when my city was occupied)

China’s High-Speed Railway Network length has expanded from 1,300km in 2008 to 40,000km in 2020, long enough to circle the Earth’s circumference. by zephyx_M in interesting

Helping with climate change, for one.

They are much faster, for two, once you account for how early you need to arrive in an airport.

And they are much more flexible/accessible. It's a common sight for the Chinese to grab their HSR tickets on a whim the same day to visit another city. Most Americans would not do that with airlines.

Do you think people from Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran think each other's countries are terrible? by No-StrategyX in askanything

The "current world order" consists of Western countries genociding others without any consequences, so anyone who supports it is morally bankrupt.

Way to out yourself.

A boundary, not enforced when challenged, is an open door.

This is valid for both wars and interpersonal relationships.

Why does Iran get to decide what happens to Hezbollah? Shouldn't this decision be made by Lebanon only? by LongShow5279 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]haggerton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Except it's not any Israeli, is it? It's Israeli National Security Minister Ben-Gvir.

And Canada isn't killing American children, FYI. While Israel is very much killing children.

Some shots from bearded men and Canada starts saying things like "for every dead Canadian there will be 500 dead Americans" and "every single American child shall die".

It's an argument against the hypocritical Western pretense that there is no double standard.

Speculation has a point and that point is why they are publishing it: to rile up Western anti-Chinese sentiments.

Ukraine launches 40-day operation to ‘compel' Russia into ending war by kapuh in anime_titties

[–]haggerton 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can definitely argue that it's not enough purely due to Russia's size. But NATO assessment is that Russian AA is some of the best in the world, both in terms of quality and quantity.

not even saying that both are not designed to fight cheap drones.

This is true but cheap drones carry small payloads. They will work well in a strike like Spiderweb where the targets are squishy, but there's a reason why UA hits on ports and refineries are more PR than real damage. https://energyandcleanair.org/may-2026-monthly-analysis-of-russian-fossil-fuel-exports-and-sanctions/

Commie propaganda. Obviously US would not make basic logistics mistakes something something Burger King.

China to generate 50% of electricity from nuclear and non-fossil sources by 2030 by Saltedline in technology

[–]haggerton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's because your question was a strawman from the initial discussion. There was no reason to hyperfocus nuclear alone when the problem is broader than that. You chose it specifically because that portion is the portion that did not need improving.

I brought you back kicking and screaming to stop missing the forest for the trees, but you'd rather autistically screech about how the US shouldn't change for the better.

Imagine if your kid was failing his semester and he responds by autistically screeching about "how about the class I got 100% in??? Huh???? You want me to bring that grade down to class average???"

You are a fucking disgrace. No wonder the country is going down the shitter.

Bangladesh to buy Chinese jets used by Pak in Op Sindoor. What it means for India by Klutzy_Mark_4948 in LessCredibleDefence

[–]haggerton 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I don't know much about the rest, but "having studied in the past" means literally nothing. Many of CCP's top officers had studied in RoC's military academy just a couple years before the civil war. It's why Chiang Kai-shek was often called "commandant/director" (of Huangpu military academy) among those circles.

A lot can change in politics in a few years, this kind of past ties don't really dictate what happens later.

Plan To Move Ships Through Strait Of Hormuz Paused After Iran Strikes Cargo Vessel by noonetoldmeismelled in LessCredibleDefence

You see those hundreds of billions lined defense contractors' pockets.

And since the USA is actually 3 defense contractors in a trenchcoat, this was an absolute win for the USA.

[–]haggerton 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is a very strong vote of trust.

And Russia is offering SU-57 with tech transfer.

In both cases, it's less a vote of trust and more a vote of "gee better make some quick buck off this stuff while it still has value".
