Then you know what I said is true as a general statement. And you know there are ways to figure out if something comes from the same source or not without even ever seeing the original source. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-17-06 |
Your statement was not correct because you said “separate” rather than “independent”. Mark, Matthew, and Luke are separate sources. They are not independent sources. No one believes the material common to all 3 are more likely to be legitimate because the latter 2 are derived from the first. Word choice matters here. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-17-06 |
Ah yes, thank you for the semantics. I imagine everyone thought I meant 3rd party sources listening to the same 2nd party source. Glad you could clear that up by saying 'not really'. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-17-06 |

They say Biden is slipping, how the fuck he pull off this reverse psychology. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-17-06 |
Interesting article, but it never mentions what the “bait” actually was that the US set out. Since the statement was last year, I’m guessing it must’ve been related to Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan in the summer of 2022.
That was one of the most high profile visits by a US government official and essentially changed the status quo regarding Taiwan, causing China to do even more exercises around the island. It’s still crazy mental gymnastics, but that’s the only event in recent memory that’s triggered such a high level response by the CCP. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-17-06 |
Hitler's appointment at Chancellor only came about because the other conservative parties thought they could hem him in with non-Nazi-but-still-conservative cabinet members and control him.
A few months later, the Nazi party was the only party in government, and the only legal party in Germany.
Underestimating them is the rise of so many dictators. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-17-06 |
LMAO!
Okay, for people who don't pay any attention whatsoever to world news, this is Xi finally admitting that China can't actually invade Taiwan in the foreseeable future.
It's funny because Xi has been doing everything in his power to provoke a war over Taiwan for the past decade but can't figure out how to get the US out of the way. Lately he's been trying to pretend that it's the US begging for a war but he's too virtuous to engage.
This is meant for internal Chinese propaganda, not the world forum. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-17-06 |

That strategy might sometimes work on politicians, but it won't work on the CIA and other intelligence agencies. They will have their own picture of where China stands with regards to invading Taiwan, in terms of feasibility, strategy, whether China actually wants to do it and what conditions they think they need to meet first. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-17-06 |

By the time the US had a foothold in Cuba and the Philippines, “Manifest Destiny” had taken on a *slightly* more humane flavor than “wipe out everyone who was living here before and then have slave owning WASPs take it over,” although I do believe that the US military did some mild massacring in the Philippines.
And we definitely could have made the Philippines and Cuba into US states at one point, but 120 years ago, US politicians didn’t want to make a ton of brown people US citizens. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-17-06 |

This feels like a statement that says they don't.

"Institution, compared the two countries’ ship tonnage a decade ago, the U.S. had a roughly 3-1 edge. Now, he said, it’s closer to a 2-1 margin."
"John Pike, director of [globalsecurity.org](http://globalsecurity.org), a think tank, added that "most of the ‘warships’ in the count (for China) are corvettes of a couple of thousand tons," referring to the smallest type of warship. "It’s a class of ship so small the U.S. Navy has never much used them, because they are too small for high-seas operations," Pike said."
They have more ships but how relevant are those small ships? We have seen in Ukraine how much a difference quality can make and when it comes to navies the US doesn't just massively outweigh the chinese navy but also have a higher quality and more experience.
Any navy could easily have more ships than the US but having a "bigger" navy is something else. I think everyone would say that a Carrier counts as "more Navy" than 2 corvettes even if the latter outnumbers the carrier. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-17-06 |

You mean, break with an ally during an election year.

For that report, troops seems to be counting only ground combatants and not the sailors or airmen who would be killed when their ship or craft are destroyed.
Two aircraft carriers and 20 large surface combatants would be over 15k potential casualties just by themselves, not even counting China's losses.
I agree it's not going to get close to a million, but you're missing quite a few dead people in your math. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-17-06 |

We would legit go into a mini dark ages period if Taiwan got invaded. Too many people dont know how important TSMC is or how much of the modern electronics they have relies on Taiwan. They're almost a world wide single point of failure. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-17-06 |
Taiwan doesn't recognize Taiwan. That would require them to give up their claims on mainland China, and they aren't ready to do that. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-17-06 |
Xi is clearly trying to make himself look better here. We called him out on his bluff, and he's trying to spin it as if we were pressuring him into doing it in the first place.
There really is no supporting evidence that the US would ever *want* Taiwan to get dragged into a war, because as mentioned above, Taiwan is the top global supplier of semiconductor chips used in computer hardware. It would absolutely fuck over the global market for years, maybe even decades. There was a flood in Taiwan back in 2011 that wrecked the global SSD market for years, and an earthquake earlier this year that's had a similar effect.
Taiwan is in a very precarious position because it's so important globally to the electronics market, and even China isn't stupid enough to disrupt that. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-17-06 |

I think it's safe to say, with every passing year, this becomes a sillier goal. We're fast approaching a time whe no living person would have known a "one china" (Xi himself being less than 5 years old when the split happened). It's not one people, nor one culture. Taiwan speaks a different dialect of Mandarin, has different exposure to different countries and has historically seen the mainland government as an enemy, ie: Taiwan only stands to lose in reconciliation and China's claim to a monoculture is quickly becoming an imagined unity and not anything a living person has actually known. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-17-06 |

looks like he's saving face at this point. China's internally dealing with some real shit right now in the form of natural disasters and civil unrest from people who got used to living decent lifestyles. People who got all their money stolen from banks coupled with food scarcity and Xi's own weird desire to become the new mao has led to a lot of issues internally. He's realizing that if he tries to take Taiwan, it's going to lead to him losing out on a more lucrative deal..
Which is to focus on selling/lending equipment to Russia and using the Russian east as collateral. Which is more lucrative than spending money on a full scale invasion on Taiwan at this point.
Also the fact that the US is dumping its old equipment on Ukraine and is able to make Russia sweat is something to not sneeze at. It's the equivalent of a fight where a fighter holds back another fighter from punching him with his pinky. China will definitely be trying again, and likely hopes that TSMC and other Taiwanese assets stop going to the US and US territories as a fail safe if Taiwan falls from this announcement.
Too fucking late. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-17-06 |

Specifically what technology does "the US" develop and license to ASML, because that's not at all how that works. ASML's main research headquarters is in the Netherlands, they do all their research in house as well. So I'm very curious as to where you got your information. I use to work with ASML in a few classes in uni, so I know a fair bit about this.
The international offices of ASML, including the ones in the US, are largely customer and maintenance facilities, not research. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-17-06 |
