Would love to hear thoughts from you guys on us ending up in a war with china and russia. So you think its going to happen? How fast? Do we have the capability to take on china, russia, possibly india? Seems we are marching closer every day. Just curious on you alls thoughts
I am more concerned about China going into Taiwan. If Russia captures Ukraine they are only getting damaged goods. Damage the Russians did. I am more concerned about Taiwan getting swallowed up by China. It will end up like Hong Kong only with war damage.
Yeah. WWIII has already started. It's just smoldering now. But an event could happen any minute that sets it off and from that point it will accelerate very quickly.
Regardless of what anybody thinks of Kurt Schlicter as a writer, his fiction series on the Balkan split in the US may not be far off the mark. A massive loss at the polls next week could trigger some behavior in the ruling class that defies belief. I say this because if you had told me a dozen years ago that protesters would be held indefinitely in Fed lockups, a sitting President would be framed by the highest law agency in the land while the courts stood idle...I'd say you were crazy. And I would have been dead wrong. The panicked actions of the Canadian Govt during the peaceful truckers protest told me just how far the ruling class would go. We may be looking at a "national emergency" after the election...possibly martial law, if the ruling class panics because of civil disobedience caused by vote tampering. China? Russia? No, DC.
The mainstream media is starting to soften the public up for the eventuality of everything going hot. Once things get this far along they don't just stop.

Both are done.
Russia can't handle Ukraine, let alone Nato, and Russia's failure's have highlighted the weakness in the Chinese system and made the Chinese realize why everything the though about a war with the west was wrong.
Spoiler alert. Everything you thing about China as the next super power is wrong as well:

Those videos were interesting,thanks for posting them.
What kind of war? We've been having a cyber war with both Russia and the PRC for the past couple of decades. Economic skirmishes with the PRC have been ramping up. Do you mean a kinetic war? Russia and the PRC don't want that. Paper tigers.
China includes NKorea IMHO when we are talking endgame.
China's in the middle of a population collapse.
They really fooked themselves with One Child:
Your opinion? Wouldn't China be better off with about half the population (or less) than it now has? I understand there is the temporary problem of a bunch of people too old to work. But the Asians aren't burdened with the feelings that westerners have about the infirm. Or are they?

The whole world would be better off if the old or infirmed died and gave their wealth to the 1% or .GOV without incurring health care costs... SS et al.

I have highlighted the 5 most important words in your paragraph. The fact that many courts let the phony Russia, Russia, Russia narrative go on and not a one of them demanded a thorough and complete investigation into the sources and the origin of the probable cause is a complete travesty. Then to find out 4 years later the whole thing was phony from the start and those same judges have done nothing to hold anyone accountable.
Fair and honest judges are supposed to be out first line of defense in a court room and they have proven to be noting but an extension of the D.C. swamp. Everyone who heard any portion of the phony Russian dossier should resign in shame today. If they refuse, they should never be allowed to set in a court room again.
Then desperate acts by a desperate man will be forthcoming with certainty.
Interesting Bio on Zeihan... doing some reading on him.
I am starting to think that the Rona was not an accident... caused by some dude eating a McBat at McChina...
It would make no sense for the Chinese to do this to themselves. This is the closest they've been to Civil War since Mao.
As much as everyone hates here hates our vaccines, they are substantially better than the Chinese version which provides NO protection at all, which is large swaths of China are still under lockdown.
If this was an intentional act, we did it to them, not the other way around. The U.S. can survive in a post globalized world just fine. The China returns to a nation of subsistence level farmers.
Here's a good summary of why the U.S. and our close trading partners will come out in the strongest position.

No that's an old economic fallacy.
People = power. People = soldiers People = production
And more importantly, you need YOUNG people for all these things. China's the most rapidly aging country IN HISTORY, and they baby boomer world wide hit peak retirement rate this quarter. In the U.S. for every babyboomer retiring only one Gen Zer's entering the work force. I don't know the exact number for China, but it's probably 4x worse.
Let me express this a different way. When we look at long term GDP, in simple terms, the rate of change is the sum of two numbers; the growth rate of per worker productivity, and historically, population growth. Historically most countries has a nice even population triangle, more 20 year old's, than 30 year old's, than 40 year old's, etc.. In other words your populations concentrated in the younger working generations. Today China population structure is the opposite. So they'll have more people retired than working.
As you can see, we must adjust the above equation to growth in GDP = increase in per worker productivity + increase in work force. We've established the delta on their work force in the coming decades is negative, but what about their productivity.
One of the keys to productivity is specialization and the division of labor. The more people you have the finer you can subdivide and specialize your labor. In general, for every order of magnitude increase of the number of people in an economic system, there's a 10% increase in per person productivity. In other words, on average, the people in a city of million people are 50% more productive on a per person basis than those in a hamlet of 100 folks.
Now apply this to what's happen in China. As their work force implodes, so their their productivity. Then means both numbers, the change in population and change in productivity will be negative for the foreseeable future. This is not good for China. They're in for a very dark future.
China has 152,000,000 men between the ages of 20 and 35.
2,000,000 active military personnel.
Yes, right now they do. But, where are the young ones to replace those young military age personnel ? They don't exist. They are dangerous now. What will the Chinese military look like in 30 years ?
I agree the risk today is big. If China wants to make a move on Tiawan they have to do it soon or they have to get more people (countries) into their sphere of influence so they can draft them too. China has been doing that. But, will those countries let their young people be drafted by China ? I can only hope we can hold them off or defeat them in some way without a war before China becomes impotent.
I believe this to be correct. Not that i know shinola but them bastids have designs on ruling the world and are patient enough to see it through
China is just sitting back waiting for the west to implode. Some German industrialists, along with Chancellor Scholz traveled to China very recently to see if it was possible for Germany to leave the NATO sinking ship.
I can't say that I blame Germany. Their alliance with the U.S.A. has crashed their country.

I can promise you this:
90% of America won’t be watching this one from their living room.
About 8 million Chinese men reach military age this year. China recently released new demographic information missing 100 million people.....all of which were young people.

That would have to go through the security council where Britain and France have veto powers, neither of which would be interested in committing troops to an internal U.S. issue.

Like everything, it just depends on who one chooses to believe. The people who are pushing for America to go to war tells the American people that Russia is losing and China is soft.
The safe bet is to consider everything that comes from the American mainstream media a lie.
It might tell the truth once in a while. But it's not often enough to bother with.

I'm surprised regarding the mirror image aspect of this chart. I would have assumed far greater number of males vs. females, especially over the past 30 years as the one child doctrine had many families selecting for one male.

Yes they did.
Was it the One Child policy that did them in?
I am not arguing against the coming demographic problems, but without the workforce they have today, where would they be?
Whatever policy led to their unsustainable population growth may have been what fooked them.
The path they chose, including the One Child policy, may have been the least worst option. Deng Xiaoping left China in a much, much better state (socioeconomically) than what he started with.
It would make no sense for the Chinese to do this to themselves.
That is the elephant in the room which people ignore.
They would have a real vaccine ready, and let it loose either in the West, or in India. The Chinese don't fear us, they just want to beat us economically. They do fear a strong India.
If China wants to make a move on Tiawan they have to do it soon or they have to get more people (countries) into their sphere of influence so they can draft them too.
kwg
And Putin's misadventure in Ukraine kinda ruined that for China right now. Most of the world is sour on Putin's invasion, and he really galvanized the opposition. Not a good time for China to do what will seem like the same thing.
Talking about population numbers, what should we consider to be a long term sustainable population figure? Eight billion or more? Less than that? Or is perpetual growth a possibility?

I see a bit of a problem. Mainly food production shortfalls. Food production can only be ramped up by a finite amount and I bet we're close to the limit. I know, we could quit putting corn in gas tanks but what else? The other problem I see is energy. Not to mention all the sewage. Can you imagine the surface water in China and India? I would think Asia in particular is ripe for a population adjustment if a deadly pathogen gets loose as compared to the candy ass Covid19.
I feel the hidden powers want war. Democrats in power want war. America is so broken, ww3 breaking down the world would allow an open door for one world gov and currnecy. Bringing the masses to their knees would make them beg for it

The world is ripe for a mass kill off by a virus. Something had to give. Motger nature or an evil gov entity, only allows unchecked populations to sustain or grow numbers for only so long

Yes.
And it we could significantly mitigate the corruption in third world nations, that number would probably go even higher. When you have mostly free markets and fair trade, more people results in higher productivity on a per person basis. Think specialization and division of labor. The more people you have, the more each can produce, the more people you can support.

Keep in mind, there's two sides to this equation. And extra 4 billion people is a lot of additional labor, and our rate of innovation's great than you imagine.
In 1900 it took 50% of Americans to feed the U.S. Today 2% of Americans feed our country 2 and a half times over, and as you point out, that doesn't include all the corn we put in our gas tanks. We can make the food. The biggest problems are in distribution, and corrupt governments steeling so much money from their people they can't afford food from the highly productive regions.
In 1865 Stanley Jevons published "The Coal Question; An Inquiry Concerning the Progress of the Nation, and the Probable Exhaustion of Our Coal Mines" In it, Jevons predict all the coal in the entire earth would be exhausted by 1965. Well.....he was wrong. We have hundreds, if not thousands of years worth of know coal reserves. Additionally, there's this trick of economics that prevents scare resources from becoming exhausted. It's called the price mechanism. As resources become scare, price goes up, and people either find substitute products, or new more innovative way to produce them more cheaply. An example of this is the fracking revolution in oil production and the hundreds of other revolution of the last century.
Heck if everyone, starting with Russia and China would just stay on their square and cooperate a little bit, we could do 20 billion without much sweat.

A/S: I hope your optimism is justified. My run on planet earth will be over before too many more years but I have 3 children and 5 grandchildren I'm leaving behind. For some reason, I guess just human nature I'm hoping they will make their time without to much disaster and tragedy. The adults are all gainfully employed in specialized fields and therefore can only do well with stability. I do enjoy conversing with you.

There’s no love lost between them for sure but they’re more like economic competitors that are vying for advanced economy’s $.

There is more to it than that, China and Pakistan have been developing closer ties and India and Pakistan are sworn enemies. In fact, the India Pakistan nuclear tensions pose more of a threat to WWIII than Ukraine Russia war.

Would love to hear thoughts from you guys on us ending up in a war with china and russia. So you think its going to happen? How fast? Do we have the capability to take on china, russia, possibly india? Seems we are marching closer every day. Just curious on you alls thoughts
I don't see the U.S. going to war against China, Russia, or NoKo unless they attack an ally, China vs. Taiwan, Russia vs. NATO, or NoKo vs. SoKo.
Why would we go to war with India?
For them to take back all the ones we have over here....
Har de har, When Musk and Zuck get done firing all the H1B dot heads (in the thousands) at Twitter and Meta, there is going to be hard feelings back in India when the checks dry up.

There is a good bit of info out there refering to india, china and russia trying to establish something that will unseat the US dollar as the worlds currency. This would paint the US into a corner that we have never been pushed in to. We would no longer be able to print money at will and would almost instantly crash us into a brick wall at full speed
Lots of country's smell blood in the water with a corrupt, weak administration in the US as well.
Have we ever been more vulnerable? I doubt it.
Agree here and you make the perfect point. We are weaker than we have ever been in my lifetime. We have backed ourselves into a corner and are very close to full economic collapse imo. This bullshit green energy fantasy has weakened us severley. Our military has gone woke, our leaders would honestly like to see our collapse. Never thought id see what america has become in my lifetime.
The commander that oversees US nuclear forces delivered an ominous warning at a naval conference last week by calling the war in Ukraine a “warmup” for the “big one” that is to come.
“This Ukraine crisis that we’re in right now, this is just the warmup,” said Navy Adm. Charles Richard, the commander of US Strategic command. “The big one is coming. And it isn’t going to be very long before we’re going to get tested in ways that we haven’t been tested [in] a long time.”
Richard’s warning came after the US released its new Nuclear Posture Review (NPR), which reaffirms that the US doctrine allows for the first use of nuclear weapons. The review says that the purpose of the US nuclear arsenal is to “deter strategic attacks, assure allies and partners, and achieve US objectives if deterrence fails.”

I make it a policy not to worry about things that I can't control or at least influence. I don't see India as being a clear and present danger to the U.S., but maybe they are.
When the commander of US Strategic command says "The big one is coming",..and it's against a major nuclear power, you can bet your ass that it's going to be a *big* one.
You might as well bet your ass on it. Your ass isn't going to be worth anything anyway after the "big one".

I think that if I was the SecDef I'd ask for Admiral Richard's resignation and then fire him if he didn't resign. Flag Officers would do well to emulate TR's philosophy of "Speak softly and carry a big stick".

India and China are enemies.
There’s no love lost between them for sure but they’re more like economic competitors that are vying for advanced economy’s $.
Both are also competing for energy to power their production capabilities.

If the chance of a 1/4 inch of ice sends people to a Holiday Inn for a few days, I'm guessing it's The Plaza Hotel for the Armageddon?
Joined October 2022, eh?
So who did you used to be?
This place isn't the Hunters Campfire any longer. It's the Sockpuppet Stage.
I saw a post about it that someone else mentioned. I'm assuming you'll hold fast?
I'm just like all the warmongers in America. The upcoming nuclear war is just going to be a minor inconvenience for me. There's no reason for me not to "hold fast".
I might or might not see a little flash on the distant horizon. But I trust that Pastor Biden and his people wouldn't do anything that would actually cause harm to me.

China's internal currency's so manipulated it doesn't even trade on the international markets. Russian Rubles trade, but are worth less than 2 pennies.

What makes you think Russia's nuclear arsenals in any better shape than the rest of their military?

I'm betting it's mostly Reuters and youtube videos.

Exactly my question
How's that special military operation that's not a war going for them?
Retired Colonel Douglas Macgregor says that he's still in contact with some of the brass in the Army and he has quite a bit to say on the matter. Everybody has to choose who and what they're going to believe these days,...lots of fake news out there. In fact, the majority of what the west produces in the way of journalism is fake news. But I can't see how Colonel Macgregor would benefit from what he has to say about the subject.
He's a retired military officer and I can't imagine any agenda he would have.
This is from September and things may or may not have changed. But he makes a point of mentioning how patient the Russians can be about these things.

Col. Macgregor, Scott Ritter and Dr. John Mearsheimer are the only ones telling the truth about pUkraine. The Duran, The New Atlas and The Dive with Jackson Hinkle are too, but their information comes from people like Ritter, Macgregor and Mearsheimer.
