What's the plan for reducing tensions or resolving the conflict between the United States and China?
I feel like there are deep cultural and political differences.
Things seem to be ramping up. Is the "plan" just to keep going on that trajectory for X more years until China has some viable military or bioweapon or something and then just have millions of caucasians trying to kill millions of asians and millions of asians trying to kill millions of caucasians?
Because how do you know we are not headed to that? Look at what the proxy war between powers has done to Syria.
I just don't think that people should keep fighting like ant colonies. We are not ants. We are better than ants. Aren't we?
- throwaway4good 6y agoI think right now, the plan is to escalate tensions, not reduce them.
- ashneo76 6y agoDo you think these China will be changing it's stance on authoritarianism, nepali border, Indian conflict, srilankan and african construction in order to subvert govt, Chinese student going pro china online, in australia, Canada, US etc trying to silence any and all Chinese criticism, calling the genocide of Uighur muslims as reeducation, denying tiananmen square, denying Taiwan as an independent country, attacking island in the south china sea, taking over Hong Kong and so much more, stopping any time soon? To begin with, to govts, we are ants. China is coming for whatever they think is right for them. I don't know any other solution that can work
- ilaksh 6y agoOh so you think the best solution is to have millions of people fighting and killing each other? It does seem that mass killing and destruction is the primary way that humans settle serious political disputes. Of course, for every war, and every combatant, in every faction, they had many reasons, such as you list, for why their participation in the killing and destruction was the moral thing to do. To me this proves that unaugmented humans are not fit to control the earth. We can only hope that transhuman and posthuman societies may some day actually be civilized.
- ashneo76 6y agoActually. I hope war is not inevitable. I would like all the way to stop. Just stop already. I see no value in any of the fighting.
