It is not China who starts wars all over the globe, it is you.

Sorry, it feels so obvious. But somehow needs to be repeated every time.

(And if China will start a war, it would be because you tried too much to undo the former status quo; Taiwan, according to UN, is China.)

Lol and the Taiwanese themselves have no say in it? Fuckk offfff Chinese bot

Go steal some intellectual property that's all you seem capable of

Tell that to the people of the Philippines, Tibet, and Taiwan

He-he.. Can you even roughly compare the scale, the violence, lack of any connection to the places bombed besides GREED? Of course not, and you know that.

Of the top 10 bloodiest wars in human history, 4 were fought by China. Only two were fought by the US and they were both world wars in which is US could not be described as anything but a "good" actor. Of those Chinese wars, the Taiping rebellion killed more people alone than America has in 250 years of war, and that happened while the US existed.

No country is a saint, and China is capable of extreme violence and brutality. Yes I can compare the scale and violence; China does not come out looking great when I do.

All states are born in violence and will use it to maintain their power and further their goals. China is an ancient and inherently powerful country which was committing atrocities before the US even existed. It has geopolitical ambitions and will use the tools at its disposal to achieve them.

You mix today's China with imperial China, ignore the role the west played in China wars..

You ignore the recent Libya, Syria, Venezuela, Ucraine (hadn't it been for you, there would be no war), Iraq, Syria, and then the less recent ones. You devastated Iran on base of a hypothesis, a country at the other side of the globe.

No, it is you who start wars today, sure of your impunity as your country leaders like to brag, sure that technology will always keep you safe no matter what you do. There is no other country which has 700 military bases around the world (did you ask what the people there think about your bases?), claiming "it is not an empire", when of course it is.

No, it is definitely you who are the agressor, not China, geopolitics or not.

> You mix today's China with imperial China, ignore the role the west played in China wars..

Shall I find the stats on how many people died during the Cultural Revolution and Great Leap Forward, or would you accuse me of spouting capitalist propaganda?

> Ucraine (hadn't it been for you, there would be no war)

LMAO good luck with that take - Putin is just a misunderstood teddy bear, bombing power plants and heating infrastructure in the winter is self-defense!

China is still technically at war with Taiwan.

Taiwan is still "technically" a part of China.

And instead of trying to provoke China into actual war with an american outpost you built there (because this just might be your Great Plan), you would do better to develop your own economy (the real one, and not the trillions from your financial fantasy land). And stop oppressing the rest of the planet by the way, now that we are talking

Sure. Not to speak about the ones who own the LLMs.

They just rewarded with a FREE SUBSCRIPTION one hundred thousands or so professional mathematicians! Undoubtedly, to advance mathematics! Hurrah!

Prediction: it will last, debt will be somehow converted to "value", and everyone in US will feel that they are better off now wrt the rest of the planet, making others more and more miserable (wars, their property being taken by US capitalists, etc).

Unless someone stops finally US. And even then I am not sure that it will bring good, because before drowning, they will try to take all the others with them. After all, "it's theirs"..

I have very little reason to believe that NSA is not doing, and had been doing that, more or less for as long as there had been CA. And on a global scale. If you don't find this plausible, it is because usually americans believe their predator state to be some kind of a "lion king" (aka superman, spiderman. etc), while it is more of a laughing hyena.

Russians would often fend this off by saying "the CIA major is farther than the FSB one".

But of course there's little reason to doubt that all public-facing separation between world's secret services is but a spectacle, just like the idependence of CAs.

Not only that, but also all encryption running in OSes that run above lower level, battery-powered SoCs with full network stack like Intel ME, AMD PSP and ARM TrustZone.

Oh, really? That's interesting.

But as they say, the chain is as strong as its weakest link.

You can verify this for your own domains by using certificate transparency.

Wouldn't that be true also for the Russian CA?

Yes, the banks can verify it for their own domains - unless Russia is sanctioned out of the CT logs or the government forces Yandex Browser not to check CT.

They can also just load the site from a separate internet connection and see if it has their certificate.
