    Hey, why isn’t the Black Sea fleet represented here?

    They, uh, they don’t need any training right now.

      I submit that their efforts to subdivide and subsequently subdue their subjugated subordinates by subtly subsidizing subversives is no substitute for substance and will substantially subtract from their ability to keep their reputations afloat.

    Russia needs lessons in how to bully fishermen. They’ve already got “pretending a place belongs to you” in a bag, so there’s nothing else China can teach them.

    I have been calling this for roughly 18 months now. I don’t claim to be an expert in this region’s politics, but there’s been a pretty linear narrative there that has a pretty obvious conclusion for about 2 years now…

    The south china seas/Taiwan will be the flashpoint of WWIII.

    I’ve been saying between end of 2024 - start of 2031.

    I’m starting to think “before September”.
