China Tested New DF-27 Hypersonic ICBM That Can Penetrate Mainland US Defense Systems — Leaked Info

3. Many women (especially of color) usually have an STD or STDs they cannot get rid of.

I'm surprised no one here has said much about this here. STDs are raging out of control now. Genital warts and herpes are nothing compared to what is rolling towards us now. This will be the next public health crisis. Wait until syphilis becomes untreatable again. That will make AIDS look like a paper cut. My relatives are almost all medical doctors. They see the tsunami on the horizon.

I think a lot of women, maybe 50%, are no infected with incurable STDs and off the marriage market. How many mothers would permit their sons to marry a girl with genital warts or herpes? And you thought tattoos were an issue?

The future belongs to the conservative Christians because they generally stay clean (if genuinely religious) and they have children. Future generations will be either be criminal feral youths or stable, educated Christians. I can't imagine the feral youth will do well.

Back in the 1990s when I was in my 20s, a lot of girls I knew wouldn't date me because I am only 5'7". By 2006, they were begging to marry me. I am not alone in this. I know a dozen other men who have had pretty much the same thing happen to them. And, like me, all of them turned these women down. When you are young, you can't imagine that you will be "old" in ten years. Your looks and sex appeal will have faded drastically. And if you are a woman, and unmarried, you will be in trouble.

Fast forward, these once hot chicks are now a bunch of fat and angry middle aged hags. They can't believe that they are no longer desirable. They walk around around in a state of shock. I have seen it numerous times. I have been met with tears and apologies. I am unmoved. The last former hot chick from my past found out I am well off financially and she found me online. Her avatar was a photo of her at 23. No, I wasn't interested in meeting her for drinks. She got pissed.off. I blocked.her. It didn't feel.as good as I imagined it would. Now she lives with her elderly parents. Jobless and raising a teenage son. A single mother. Not my fault. Her fault.

Don't be a simp.

Yes, the world is falling apart, but you can still.enjoy life.

I can add to my perspective of this. I live in Atlanta. There's ton's of nice looking women here but dating here will become the biggest headache anyone will ever encounter.

1. Majority of women you will meet will have the unrealistic expectation that life is like Love and Hip Hop and that you should fund EVERYTHING in her life. She shouldn't have any responsibility or accountability for anything.

2. Many women you meet will already have a gang of kids by other men (plural).

3. Many women (especially of color) usually have an STD or STDs they cannot get rid of.

4. Many are suffering from some kind of mental health issue.

The best places to find good women are in orthodox Catholic parishes. Not to be confused with eastern Orthodox churches - don't know anything about those so I can't comment.

How to find an orthodox parish? Look for parishes with a) large families; b) lots of homeschoolers; c) only boys as altar servers; d) they possibly offer Masses in the Extraordinary Form, i.e., pre-Vatican II Latin Rite. Some of the latter can be a little rad trad, and almost schismatic in their zeal for Latin, but good young men and women, nonetheless. Even if married, the women there will probably have sisters - lots of sisters.

Aeden, your analyses are excellent (when
I understand them), but I would really
appreciate it if, when you copy and
paste text from another article, that
you provide the source of the
plagiarized text. In this case, the
text of the referenced post comes from
the following:

https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2023-04- ... can-people

That article is pro-China propaganda,
with random facts thrown together
higgledy-piggledy into a word salad
bowl. The article doesn't make much
sense, but it does contain the following
interesting graph from Pew Research:

• US public favorable/unfavorable view of China (2005-2022) (Pew Research)

For many decades, Americans have loved
China, especially during WW II, when the
American military helped save China from
the Japanese. But American attitudes
started changing dramatically in 2011,
when Xi Jinping came to power, clamping
down violently on Hong Kong, illegally
grabbing international territory in the
South China Sea, lying to Barack Obama,
and increasing threats to Taiwan.

https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2 ... -positive/

A couple of my takeaways:
Yes, there is a definite pro-China slant going on. However, is the Pentagon and our government capable of using war as a means of cracking down on political dissent in this country? Absolutely! What do you think Covid was about? You and I may view China as the enemy, but is our current government really opposed to China? How many of our leaders, from Biden on down, are in bed with, and taking money from, the Chinese. They envy the Chinese government for its power over its citizens, and dream about being able to emulate that. So, in promulgating falsehood about our relationship with China they have spoken truth about the current state of our own internal political affairs.

Here is more of a quote from that ZeroHedge article:

It’s not really about China…
The biggest problem with all this is that the ruling establishment already knows for certain that they stand no chance of winning a war against China. Pentagon's own war simulations concluded that their Pacific fleet would be destroyed in short order in such a conflict. So why do they want this war so badly? What could possibly justify such a reckless gambit?

… it’s about the American people
The important thing to realize here is that the primary target of the war against China would not really be China. It would be the American people. The shiny new world war in the Pacific would deflect people's attention from the metastasizing crises at home, direct their anger at a foreign enemy, and for the same high price also provide the government with an ideal smokescreen for radical crackdown on dissent against all the racists, nazis, enemy sympathizers, deplorables, domestic extremists, insurrectionists and all other kinds of thought criminals.

James Madison rightly warned us that, "If tyranny and oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy." Well, the United States has been fighting foreign enemies pretty much non-stop since the end of World War 2 and throughout, the civil rights and liberties at home have been steadily rolled back. Unless we like the prospect of our children knowing even fewer freedoms, we should reject the lies and the fear and try instead to identify the real enemy with better discernment. “Truth eludes us,” spoke Solzhenytzin, “if we do not concentrate our attention totally in its pursuit.”

It can be as simple as following a few people on Twitter who actually live in China - see what they say. As an Irish friend of mine who spent a good chunk of his life living in China says that, when it comes to China, there are two kinds of people in this world: those who hate China and those who’ve been there. Indeed, it’s as Heraclitus famously put it: “Dogs, also, bark at what they do not know.”

China is not the enemy and consenting to a war against China would be the greatest possible gift we could give to the occult oligarchy that rules in the west and has been in charge for over a century. It is they who have given us a century of perpetual wars. The reason why the American people are under such relentless attacks is because they are still one of the most important bulwarks of freedom.

JDav,
Let's be very clear.
The PEOPLE of China are not our enemy. But the CCP is.
Anyone who's lived in China does like the Chinese people because they are good people. But they're culture has been denigrated, corrupted and ruined, for the most part, by Communism. Similarly here as you constantly lament.
But our foundations are still intact and we haven't been fully conquered by the evil.
Promoting and collaborating with an evil ideology in the hopes that something good will come about has never worked.
We must fight for our depraved team with the Faith that, at the very least, we're not on the wrong side.
If the zero hedge article isn't blatant CCP propaganda, then at the very least it's an ignorant viewpoint, dangerous at this point in time.

John wrote: Fri Feb 25, 2022 12:06 pm ** 25-Feb-2022 World View: Putin overextended?

I just saw General Keith Kellogg on Fox Business Network. He says
that if Russian forces try to take Kiev by force, then they will be
severely overextended, and the war will be deemed a failure by the
Russian public. The Russian troops are already facing a great deal of
resistance. He said that Putin will have to double his bodyguards in
that case.

During the last 24 hours, there have been numerous news reports of
antiwar protests across multiple cities in Russia. Most of the people
of Russia apparently don't believe Putin's justifications for the war,
and believe that Russia is invading Ukraine with no justification.

And again about tanks and not only...

The russians have a number of difficulties with the repair of T-90M, T-72B3 tanks and BMP-3 in field conditions.

For example, the T-90M had a regular defect in the remote machine gun mount and panoramic commander's sight, which cannot be repaired "in the field". Also, the inability to start the DGU-10 (diesel generator set) without exiting the tank creates certain difficulties.

The operation of the T-72B3M and T-80BVM revealed problems with the internal switching and control equipment blocks (P-168).

Some would say that it nedds to be reinstalled, but it's not just like that, because it is necessary to reinstall the software of the blocks, for which it is necessary to call the knowing "nerd" into the field.

In general, almost the entire line of russian equipment that has been modernized in the last 10-15 years has shown serious problems with electronic equipment. One of the causes of the problems is the poor compatibility of the prevailing old soviet schemes and foreign elements. The low reliability of old Soviet components also affects the performance of foreign components and their characteristics. And the sanctions and shortage of foreign elements of the electronic component base do not allow timely replacement and repair even in factory conditions. This explains the fact that in the latest modifications of the T-80BVM and T-72B3 tanks, for example, Sosna-U sights disappeared, instead of which 1PN96-01MT and 1PN96MT-02 were installed.

But the T-54/55 and T-62 do not have all these high-tech problems with means of surveillance and control systems.

What can be better than the good old T-54/55 and T-62, instead of all these capricious and defective T-80BVM, T-72B3 and T-90M "Proriv"? Of course, only T-34! Stalin quality!

They could, but HIGHLY unlikely for the following reasons:

1. We have a defense treaty with South Korea. We don't have one with Taiwan. China would love to grab Taiwan without triggering a major war (which will happen anyway), but they would like to have this route.

2. N Korea cannot have any chance against S Korea without major Chinese assistance. China moving such assistance to N Korea would set off major alarms and US responses that the Chinese don't want to trigger until war starts.

3. The US sending troops to S Korea would cause the US defense posture to change from passive to active. This takes time, and the Chinese would prefer that we not be in the process of mobilization already when they attack Taiwan.

A much more likely scenario is that China has N Korea start war with South at same time, or shortly after they go after Taiwan (say after US response is clear, and that US decides to get involved). War in Korea would allow them to dilute US aid/support to Taiwan, and it would give them a better position from which to also attack Japan.

Could South Korea attempt to stay out of a war between China and Taiwan?

Are we supposed to avoid bombing China at all in WW3 to avoid Chinese civilian causalities while they are bombing everyone else? Is that what you are saying? The Chinese in the street seem pretty nationalistic to me.

I didn't say that. They will get what they deserve according to the circumstances. They have the ability to retaliate so hopefully it doesn't get that far. The whole region is a single theater and Korea is in the middle of it. If you're over there then you should consider leaving before it's too late.

I was just talking to a friend who is a 1%-er, not ugly, not short, makes enviable income in a highly prized profession. He has 2 kids and married what one would have thought was a traditional woman, that is, she came from a family where her mom did ALL the traditional things. He basically gets zero return on investment for creating a life where the woman literally has NOTHING to worry about.

Western women are horrible wives. It's not necessarily their fault, but it is the reality - they are spoiled and propagandized. Why this matter is that few men find marriage worthwhile. Period. So it doesn't matter who is to blame. Also, the economy WILL tank since men actually do all the work.

Enjoy the "fourth turning". I'll go to a country where women actually do traditional things, or not, either way my life will be FAR better.
