Exactly correct.

Right now China is supplying military hardware to the Houthis, Iran and Russia (at least). We know they aren’t charging much for the war material. The PRC doesn’t care about the outcome of any of those conflicts, but the impact they’re having on the US, the US’s relationship with its allies, the stability of NATO, the security of Europe… all of that benefits China.

Even if there is no drastic collapse anywhere, even if the end result is that Western nations pull together and develop stronger relationships, China has forced its international rivals to expend extra resources and effort on military assets (as non-US NATO countries and the EU are currently doing), and to react defensively, while appearing to not be directly involved in any of the conflicts themselves. It’s very intentional, it’s a proven effective strategy, it will probably work out well for them.

China isn’t giving shit away for free, and the Houthis are funded by Iran…

True, but China may not be asking for money or anything else in return. The Houthis are acting as a proxy army against the US, and that’s probably all that the PRC really needs or cares about getting from them.

This is nothing new, the US did the same thing in Afghanistan against the USSR in the 1980s, and tried to do it in Somalia in the 1990s.

The UK did it everywhere.

China is just playing the same big-boy international power politics that every other imperialist nation has done in the Middle East since the Romans.

Nothing will change for the Middle East until everyone there starts rejecting foreign influence as a matter of course.

Some people chose to not see America.

We’re all trying to find who could’ve done this…

This is basically how Elon responded to advertisers not buying ads on X.

They can always buy more weapons from China, Iran and North Korea.

I don’t know… nukes are not exactly discriminatory weapons… If I were Poland or one of the other bordering countries I might retaliate, because I would probably be affected by radioactive fallout.

This rhetoric seems familiar somehow…

Listen I talk to my podcasts okay. It helps them grow better.

Trump sure is trying.

Time for a boycott.

All I had was

By the time one of these housings is getting phased out, the turbine design is years or decades out of date. The internal components are all going to be different. The exterior of the housing is also part of the airflow design.

Considering the amount of torque being applied to the components in the housing by the rotor, it probably wouldn’t be safe to drill new mounting holes in an old housing to fit a new generator &etc.

But highest kill ratio per round!

It’s common for China to do.

The police operations are generally illegal in the host countries, but they’re “allowed” in the sense that most countries can’t afford to end their economic relationship with China.

The adventure of a lifetime on the high seas!

I need to write down some notes to keep track of the methods I use to write down notes of things I need to keep track of…

Alms… alms… alms for the poor!

but I might need to use them

I feel attacked.
