I'd venture a guess they are planning on blowing up the Russian's new Crimea bridge. I want to applaud their common sense for announcing their sabotage plans ahead of time on Twitter. Everyone knows it's a bad thing to catch your enemy off guard and it's more fair to let them prepare for your attack ahead of time.
Swimming, with fishies, is when your tanks fall from bridges in winter and you just leave them there until the locals excavate them and the dead crews in the springtime. No littering.
Swimming is also when you move your warships too close to the shores. Superpower by 2020.
So anyway how do you enjoy the battles of September so far, almost half year after Ukraine had surrended just as you predicted? The mood of all the comrades on telegram is of a Strelkov-like doom of panic and despair with no cope, so how are you doing, but honestly?
Daaaamn, they blew up an office of a political party? What a stunning victory, the OrcZZ will surely run home crying now. After all, very serious experts say they should run out of food and ammunition around March 5, that's any day now, right?
I don't know about you, but I am terrified of living under Russian or Chinese rule. History has taught us that these two countries struggle to understand the value of human life.
If you think these two countries will stop on those regions and not expand I have a bridge to sell. Just so you know, it is not just Taiwan, it is Vietnam, Japan, Korea, Philippines, India, Nepal and other countries.
I agree. Aggressive empires have proven time and time again that if they meet with success in their early expansion, they will double down and start expanding faster. They don't just eat once and stop.
In the modern world, the speed of potential conquest is far higher now. If China takes Taiwan, it will keep conquering with a snowball effect unless and until someone stops them.
Just look at the speed of the Japanese conquest in WW2. That was 80 years ago. If Japan had been more successful, it would have conquered all the way to India and Australia in the 1st year.
Let's give China what they want, like Taiwan, they will stop there... Whoops! They want more, fine, lets give them the Philippines! They stop this time! Let's give China what they want, like India, they will stop there... Whoops! They want more, fine, lets give them the Vietnam! They stop this time! Let's give China what they want, like Indonesia, they will stop there... Whoops! They want more, fine, lets give them the Malaysia! Fine, Let's give China what they want, like Japan, they will stop there... Whoops! They want more, fine, lets give them the Australia! They stop this time!
Nobody gives a shit about that anymore. That was over 70 years ago. Anyone alive and old enough to care is dead.
The real reason is to flex their power, might, and prestige, and to say "what the CCP wants, the CCP gets, and if you stand in our way, we will destroy you".
The CCP isn't going to drastically cut its military spending and become a hermit kingdom if it gets Taiwan, just like Hitler didn't stop when he got Austria.
If Russia wins, it encourages China and makes our future wars against China worse.
If Russia loses, it sends the message to China that attempting to build an empire through wars of aggression is a bad idea that will only lead to ruin, which makes it more likely that the CCP will turn away from the path to war, or alternatively will more likely give up once they realize they are going to get trapped and bled dry like Russia is in Ukraine.
So as a person who cares 10x more about China than Russia, since I think Russia is dying anyway, the worse the outcome from Russia in the war, the better it is for the future containment of China.
Demographically at least, China is dying too. Their femicide in particular really fucked them over, because until recently they've actually had a population growth, even with the One Child Policy. They'll need to somehow either import or kidnap tens of millions of foreign young women (and they take no blacks) for their peasants and urban peasants. What a crazy country.
It will amke a difference, because it will just go downhill from there (demographic predictions) with no rebounding, and all the consequences. Just as elsewhere, except in Africa.
I think the CCP will force people to fuck at gunpoint if necessary once the problem gets bad enough. This isn't the kind of problem an authoritarian regime would have a hard time handling.

Or, if you're a real bastard, go hit somewhere else while they're forting up that bridge.
Ukrainian military is memeing all the time.

Sounds like typical cope to me. Same thing Saddam's propaganda guys spewed, fields on fire and faces melting and crying wives and all that.
They just blew up the Ukraine headquarters of United Russia (Putin's party) in the occupied Melitopol 1 hour ago.
Ah yes, that has the slightest thing to do with swimming and therefore is definitely what they were talking about and also totally happened.
Shoo, shill.

Also some special Kherson funtime on a such smaller bridge earlier today: https://www.reddit.com/r/CombatFootage/comments/x8c0t3/extended_clip_of_russian_forces_being_hit_by/
Looks like a good excuse for Russia to start a new pogrom.
Blowing up Russian military bases is a valid part of war. Muh "war crime" just because your side is losing.

Unless you are in Eastern Europe or Taiwan there is little danger of that.

Exactly!

That strategy worked on Hitler, after all.

Umm you have that backwards.

China has so many people that even if they lose a few hundred million to demographic collapse it won't make much difference.
You're talking tens of millions. That's nothing to a population of over 1 billion.
It will amke a difference, because it will just go downhill from there (demographic predictions) with no rebounding, and all the consequences. Just as elsewhere, except in Africa.

Well I can imagine an actual "handmaid's tale" scenario out there. Or even cloning?
I remember when you pretended to care for them, or maybe for some reason actually believed they're being forced (by women) to fight for their country.
What you didn't really want to #killallmen? I'm disappointed with you girl.
Desirable as that might be, things would only worsen.
