China is absolutely living in the future by every measure you can think of. Robots are common place, there’s high speed rail everywhere, energy production is rapidly shifting to renewables and nuclear. Most vehicles are now electric. These are all the things we were promised that we’d see in the world of tomorrow, and that’s where China is at.

lmfao imagine being over the age of 12 and using authoritarian unironically, some real intellectual titans on this site 🤣

and here’s something for you to mald over

I’m also looking forward to more American top scientists moving to China as their funding gets cut and they can’t find new students.

fun fact, you can literally use meme templates any way you like

Most modern web breaks without Js though.

sure kiddo https://militarywatchmagazine.com/article/russias-t14-turret-revolutionary-improvement

I did post it in programmer humor, figured that would be a bit of a give away :)

Wow, thank you so much for taking your valuable time from huffing gas to write all that.

I’m really impressed you can tell what kind of tank it is under the plating.

They still get used, just in a very different role than before drones were a thing. And the days of big tank formations rolling through are very much over. Nowadays they mostly do mine clearing, artillery support, and mobile command centres.

what modern tanks look like in order to survive drones

ha

yeah turning off js means that you can’t really use most sites

exactly

CIA and other US government affiliated agencies regularly edit political topics on wikipedia.

I think you really have to look at the history of the source. How their analysis stacks up against what actually happened in the past tends to be a fairly good predictor of whether it’s worth listening to.

It’s pretty obvious that wikipedia is not left wing in any sense, and CIA does have disproportionate presence on the site. The guy might be a nut, but wikipedia is very much an imperial project.

Incidentally, this is a really fun read on how the whole unbiased sources and neutral perspective narrative was invented as a way to make western media seem more legitimate https://november8ph.ca/psychological-warfare-in-the-strategy-of-imperialism-v-l-artemov/

which in no way invalidates the well documented fact that wikipedia is a political tool and is heavily edited by western intelligence agencies
