They'll probably want to do exactly that, at this point it's better to de-escalate and give some kind of concession. It's the US that won't bend or compromise.

The second half of this video simulates an 5th gen SEAD scenario, F-35cs armed with aargm-er and SDB-11 stormbreakers and aim-260 JATMs vs S-400 supported by Su-35s. S-400 was eviscerated.

I really don't get it, if China is such a great nation why aren't all these armchair Chinese nationalists moving back there?

Nearly as strange as you, a loyal Kiwi who cares more about a country you don't want to live in.

Just go back and read the new years speech Xi gave last year, he congratulated his government for an outstanding 2020 during which they 'defeated' poverty and the covid pandemic. The unrealistically low reported covid stats since then tell the whole story really, the CCP has snookered itself...

It's actually the official CCP position on Covid, he's just doing what he's told and repeating the party line. Xi made the bold announcemnent awhile ago that the CCP had defeated Covid.

That's an overly simplistic way of looking at it. Look at the situation with Chinese real estate developers and the practice of paying their suppliers with commercial paper. There is now an estimated $1 trillion US dollars in developer issued commercial paper in circulation on secondary markets...

I wonder what's next from everybodies favorite dystopian authoritarian government. Change the ending of Return of the Jedi so that the rebel alliance is defeated by the virtuous Galactic Empire?

What a ludicrous statement. There is no red line crossed, just Russian bullying and a desperate attempt to stay relevant in global affairs.

Why exactly? Is Ukraine threatening to invade Russia?

Love the accent they've given Oscar Isaac. Looking forward to this, Marc Spectre/Moon Knight in his Fist of Khonshu persona in the MCU has the supernatural emphasis, we can look forward to team ups with Blade and Dane Whitman/Black Knight. Not sure who Ethan Hawke is playing, it might be...

China's “Semiconductor Theranos”: HSMC Kevin Xu China’s semiconductor ambition just had its first ponzi scheme fully exposed: Wuhan Hongxin Semiconductor Manufacturing (HSMC). The HSMC...

Cyprus reportedly discovers a Covid variant that combines omicron and delta A researcher in Cyprus has discovered a strain of the coronavirus that combines the delta and omicron variant, Bloomberg News reported on Saturday. Leondios Kostrikis, professor of biological sciences at the University...

I'm in the camp that believes the CCP overstates its GDP by 25-30%, mostly as a result of a top-down system that rewards lower government officials for meeting annual budgets and GDP targets by suspiciously close margins. Watch what's happening with the Chinese real estate market, its on a...

Yeah, that damned lying 'West'. All of the people only speak lies in North America, Western Europe, Australasia and arguably (because there is no definitive place called 'West') Japan, South Korea, even Taiwan. Unlike the honest and virtuous people that are 'East', who only speak truthfully.

I learn a lot reading posts from yourself and some of the others, and one of the things I've learned is that US air dominance is as much/more about networked capabilities as opposed to just individual weapons or platforms. With the planned upgrades to network centric warfare as well as new...

There's one obvious answer to that, if you choose to believe what China investment analyst Leland Miller from China Biege book has reported: tax filings do not match the reported GDP data dating back to 2012 which, alongside other data, suggests over-reporting of GDP by an average of 2% per year...

We got lucky, the Omicron outbreak happened just before our government was about to lift border restrictions which have consequently been extended indefinitely.

But spreads much faster, with a larger number of cases in a much shorter time span creating much greater stress on public health systems. Even with much lower hospitilzation and fatality rates per million, the sheer number of new cases means Omicron will create a higher absolute number of people...

That depends what you mean by 'in the stock market', you're refering to trading. If you go long, stock prices in the short term are meaningless, strong business fundamentals are where the smart money goes.
