Exactly. Not only that, but it's so much easier to misread your opponent and the nature of the game when the dynamics are very high dimensional as they are now. It's not just about tanks or militaries anymore. Information warfare

Escalation between the US and China is inevitable. China is fundamentally opposed to everything the US and Democracies around the world stand for politically. Likewise, the US and friends are fundamentally opposed to everything China stands

That's not really true. The Right is generally united on the point of wanting universal ID. Nothing totalitarian about a nation being able to reliably identify and distinguish its citizens. Unfortunately the political Left believes tha

We're discussing a recent change in tone, behavior and overall policy. What you're describing is the product of previous administrations working hard to get on (the People's Republic of) China's good side, cozying up to

The movement to bring supply chains back to the US, or at the very least out of China, is far bigger than Trump.

I guess this might sound unreal, but I literally have not looked at AAA game graphics in over 10 years, so this looks absolutely stunning. Back in 2009 my 360 died. I had been an avid console gamer before that, but I never replaced the Xbox

Did you not read the comment? Saying it's "nationalistic rage" frames it as something petty and superficial. How is liberty vs fascism petty or superficial? It's not. Regardless, outside of their ruling ideology their ri

1) There are many ways to lower costs to make US chips competitive. 2) That's simply false. 3) Regulations can be dealt with. This current administration seems quite willing to do away with them. 4) The median age in China is 38 years
