Are people actually expecting China to shoot her out of the sky?

I think it’s more likely China puts up some sanctions.

Nobody is expecting anything were all more just horrified at the infinitely awful possibilities and the fact that if this did lead to nuclear war we’re all fucking helpless to prevent it

To use someone else’s analogy from yesterday, we’re all watching Pelosi swing her dick right near a circular saw and we’re just hoping the guy using it is paying enough attention to not fuck this up.

Please don’t read the r/worldnews thread about this story. Americans really, really need their own century of humiliation. So many westerners acting like this is le epic own of evil see-see-pee.

If “taking Ls” is some people predicting that China would take an action that would bring us the closest humanity has ever been to nuclear extinction, then they need to take it, imo. I don’t particularly care about the opinions of a group of coddled Westoid dronies with the collective intelligence of a toddler, spreading yogurt and shit on the house walls and making Keanu Reeves wholesome memes about Taiwan because their ancient mummified quasi-corpse managed to survive another day on this Earth, especially because this now means that China is now incredibly angry at Taiwan and the US and this only accelerates the decline of the greatest genocidal regime this world has ever known.

I think about this constantly. It feels to me that the biggest barrier to socialism in America is the unbreakable fucking American ego.
