U.S. Intelligence Shows China Taking a More Active Role in Iran War

no matter whether us troops are sent or not, all phones,laptops you mentioned will still be impacted, right ? you think US will have capability to intercept the missiles ?

You're fighting in *their* backyard, they're not fighting in yours. A more galvanized America just means even more military assets sent into their killzone. You can't nuke them without getting nuked yourselves, so that's a non-starter too. ***Fun Fact:*** *China spends less on its military budget as a percent of their GDP than even most European nations, let alone the US. It's around half of what the US ratio is*. They could double that and still not be in a war economy. They could quadruple their military spending if they wanted to. And yet with less than 2% defense spending i.e. lower than NATO's OLD military spending target, they're already the worlds' largest shipbuilder, drone maker, just manufacturer in general. If China seriously chose to switch into warmode against the US, especially close to home, their production capacity would be insane. There would simply be no way the US could possibly keep up. It's only viable play would be try to choke them from afar via blockades of places like the Strait of Malacca. And even that is doubtful to work as China isn't an island - but both Taiwan AND Japan are. They'll force the US to come close with blockades of their own, and overwhelm it down. During the time of Pearl Harbour the US was the worlds' largest manufacturer. That's no longer true, now China is. And it's not even close.

Let’s galvanize the US population so that they bring their boats to China, get hypersonic missile-d and drown. Lets rebuild all those ships with non-existent shipyards while China produces 1,000 cargo ships a year (57% of the worlds shipbuilding capacity in 2024) The only other option is to nuke. What the hell is it with us Americans wanting to go to war with China. **We need to sit the f*** down** The US hands down loses. Any other option is an imagination. Hitting the 3 Gorges Dam = Nuclear Response US generals lose every single war-game against China unless the China team cannot use hypersonic missiles. The war-games are catastrophic for the US. There is no getting close to the Chinese coast. When I said “why fight a war we can’t win” It was to sympathize with warmongers, to understand why its idiotic. No one anywhere should go to war

Good for European MIC

People always talk about the "tones", but it's not any more difficult than any other language that doesn't sound like English. In fact, it's a very simple and rigid phonetic system that's designed to make the language even easy to learn and speak. If you can pronounce the difference between "desert" and "deserted", then you can learn to speak Chinese. The former is "tone 1" and the latter is "tone 3". There are only 5 tones total in the whole language. Chinese assigns formal names to these tones while English just...expects you to know how they're pronounced. Reading and writing Chinese are far more difficult than speaking. It's rote memorization of thousands of complex symbols. You either know a character or you don't, there is no sounding it out or guessing its meaning based on how it looks. The symbols are about 99% arbitrary shapes.

They have not been converting to a war economy
