Your POV is completely shaped by your emotions about America. That's evident and there are various examples in your posts within the thread.
What I'm more interested in is "...what I'm reading..", what are you reading exactly? It sounds suspiciously like Chinese media/social media. Care to share some examples?
he won't share because we don't speak the language.

Fam, the moment he mentioned Kyiv, it was a wrap. Even his "police operation" in the east had the plausibility of securing the breakaway territory. He got way too greedy. Thats what all these contrarian dipshyts were depending on like Aaron Mate or Greenwald who think anti-america = truthHe had to come from the East as it was his casus belli : liberating Russian speaking Donetsk and Louhansk oppressed by nazis. As a matter of fact he should have stopped there and simply occupy the Donbass. Put the main force at that task, letting some armies in Belarus and in Crimea and the Black Sea to keep Kiev and Odessa in tension.
But most of the might would have targeted Donbass with DNR and LNR forces and they wouldn't have struggled that much because they also would have had local combattants with them.
Then, that special operation would have not been a full scale war and he would probably had some more support if the conflict was contained there. Civilian casualties could have stayed low and taking control could have been swifter too
Basically, what they did in Georgia in 08 or Crimea in 14. A bolder plan would have to try and bridge to Crimea maybe but anything more was always a huge gamble. He would have still been sanctioned but not as much and he would have even gained a ressource heavy Donbass in exchange.
Like trying to put a puppet in Kiev was always nonsensical, they would have ran that man out again. However putting one in the new Donbass (potentially up to Crimea) would have been an easier play that would have maybe ended up with a new vassal state for Russia in the long run.
And it's fine to be a morning QB, we're on a message board, it's made for that
got me looking at WW2 way differently now
Again crazy ho babble. Your first point is they have the factories. Okay, who companies are they working for and who is giving them the contracts? Those factories are highly dependent on American companies.
Secondly, you said you don’t think China makes its own weapons? No they don’t actually China import 96 percent of their weapons (73 percent from Russia, 9.7 percent from France, 6.3 percent from Germany). You can save your propaganda videos.
Third, you said China is currently developing their own semiconductor industries. That’s not something you can do overnight and it proves my point that they can’t do it right now hence the reliance on American and Japanese technology.
Fourth you said Russia has them beat with wheat exports but you failed to include that the number 2,3 and 4 countries are the USA, Canada and France. They combine to produce at least 72 million tonnes of wheat vs Russia which produces 37 million tonnes of wheat. Replacing Russia wheat is very easy actually.
Fifth, there’s nothing sane about XI government which is why he has to spend a significant amount of financial and business capital trying to stop dissent. Didn’t it make sense to you that China is rolling out these China first measures for their TV, Media, and news industries? There’s a reason for this. Also China has massive inequality even worse than the elite European countries. What quality of life exist when the bottom 50 percent is living off of 4,000 dollars a year?
Save the propaganda you have no idea what you are talking about and China will not be reunifying with Taiwan anytime soon.
