Stretch before you reach, friend. Giving a country a massive amount of weapons to defend its own borders is far from imperialism.

Literally not. Most of the worlds semiconductor manufacturing happens in Taiwan and you need semiconductors for damn near anything electronic these days. China knows that and won’t risk it. Not to mention the economic hell that going to war with the US would cause.

And everyone said the real estate market was untenable! Who knew you just had to get virtual real estate!?

True. Just for clarity, I think the Marxist socio-economic platform is absolute horseshit and doesn’t survive contact at all with the Information Age, because it necessitates an industrial/agrarian society.

Oh, yeah, I’m not disagreeing. I guess diamonds work for that, I’m just saying it’s not rare at all.

Diamonds are literally one of the most artificially inflated gemstone values in existence. They’re also the most abundant. Just pointing that out for when you try to argue your point again.

If you enjoy scenic drives, you’ll be really close to The Devil’s Backbone which is an awesome highway that travels across some giant limestone cliffs. My wife and I always made time for it whenever we went out there.

HES A GODDAMN PATRIOT AND FREE SPEECH SUPPORTER EVEN IF THAT ACCOUNT HAD CHILD PORN ON IT SUBSIDIZING YOUR LAZY LIBERAL ASS!!1!1!

(I hate that I have to do this but /s)

It’s a goddamn shame that Texas is such a political shithole of a state. The land is beautiful, (most) of the people are awesome, the food’s great. But it’s literal hell to try to exist there.

god I hope it’s all of them.

I think a paper tiger is even giving them too much credit at this point.

Bold of you to assume I’m big enough to stretch my underwear

While I do think racism has a strong root in politics and politically suppressing the “other”, I think the purpose of this community is more news oriented and less intellectual than that. Is this story tied to politics? Sure. Is it strictly political in nature? Not really.

So par for the course for the US right. Bunch of fascist shitheels.

I don’t think anyone really wants what X gon’ give to them.

Maybe you’re too stupid to understand, but just because you don’t have to make another account to participate in different instances doesn’t mean anyone cares about your despot-worshiping bullshit outside of your home instance.

How is saying that close military allies are supporting each other ‘AmErIcAn ExCePtIoNaLiSm’?

Fuck off back to lemmygrad.

Fair enough. I’m curious how much of this equipment is more shitty outdated weaponry cloned from Russian weapons.

Was this not a given? I remember something about weird Chinese military Supply train routes in the early months of the war
