Atlas shrugged becoming more and more relevant nowadays....
I'm actually concerned that all the diversity hires throughout every western industry to even the military may have compromised things too far that the west's technical superiority is an illusion and if push came to shove in a crisis (e.g. Taiwan gets attacked) a lot of those systems will fail like a house of cards thanks to inadequate people in high positions.
It's really the CEO's fault, more than the people he hired.
At least he was man enough to take the risk himself though.
The people who wear “refugees welcome” t-shirts almost never live in the poor areas where refugees end up living. And NEVER invite them to their own home.
Tbf china is in the same boat ( or even worse).
Probably but the thing they can do that the US can't is throw bodies at their problem. They can win against Taiwan by building a bridge of millions of dead Chinese soldiers to take it which may eventually destroy them but that level of devastation will have an impact for hundreds of years.
The real threat would be if they somehow got into a war with India, they can trade men on the same level but the threat India has is the Gurkas, EVERY military will confirm what demons they can be in battle so that would not be a good idea to face them.
Just remember that China literally tried this tactic in the Korean war. They sent old people and cripples, prisoners and political dissidents to try to send more bodies than the USA had bullets.
It didn't work then either.
Mixed, they pushed the American/UN forces out of North Korea and just below the parallel but the logistics became stretched and were pushed back to the border of modern North and South Korea
So like in every war, if you don't have a strong logistics setup, you'll lose the war.
