China's Catastrophic Oil & Gas Problem

@donnmckee4973 - 2022-07-30

Except it's not much of a weakness. Especially now with Russia providing them discounted oil and gas. They were already building up the infrastructure so in a couple years this will no longer be a "weakness".

He also completely ignores that ice isn't the only problem, shallow waters and a lack of decent harbours are also driving forces here.

I learned much of this in school, some 20 years ago. Back then it was mostly about driving a wedge between communist regimes - the latest gas reserves were unknown (like in Ukraine...), but the importance of Taiwan and the region was already abundantly clear. Same for the support for dictators and Israel in the Middle East, or the invasion of Vietnam for that matter. The latter aimed to thwart China above all else - done more successfully in South Korea: creating an ally next door to China (the invasions in Iraq and Afghanistan have a similar origin, right next to Iran).

The fact you compare this (and books, dedicated journalists - real information) to TV and the news (mostly entertainment) is just baffling. The latter want ratings and are nearly always shallow, short tempered and near sighted... The former often has little money, doesn't get (nor wants) much attention, but loves his/her work. You'd expect them in places like this, or in some obscure magazine/website. People like woodward and attenborough stand out, but it took them a long time to get noticed (since it wasn't about being noticed - not about them, but about their love).

But better late then never I suppose. Quality takes time. It's easier to just keep peddling fear, temptation and sensational but pointless events. Makes money a lot easier and people who invest money just love that. This is the main problem with MSM (and to some extent politics) these days; their audience became too big and the MSM are offering the lowest common denominator in an effort to maximise profit - the achilles' heel of capitalism.
Ideals are a lot more difficult to sell, they take effort... The dude here still believes in informing people and objectivity.
That's rare in big corporations, especially when they are present on wall street, when they have stocks and a lot of people who just want money.

In the end, all of this is about money. And the power it holds over people and their greed. Finding out the motivation behind a narrative is very important, each and every day - most 'impportant' people tend to be very manipulative. The number one reason why we don't like lawyers and politicians - and these days, oh so many journalists and tv hosts. The majority make a living by selling lies. And now there are conspiracies everywhere as a result...

The US is responsible for 20% of the historic CO2 production that's led up to the Climate Crisis - more than twice any other country. China, for all its recent industrial expansion is 'only' responsible for about 10%. Clearly, China needs to get its CO2 release under control, but the US (and the rest of the 'West' created this problem (and still do most to feed it), and it is their responsibility to own it and reverse it. The state of New York alone uses more energy than the whole of sub-Saharan Africa - when you have an insane situation like that, it's clear where responsibilty lies for resolving this crisis.

The United States is China's biggest threat. The United States supports the separatist forces in China's Xinjiang, Tibet, Hong Kong and Taiwan. The United States has built a large number of military bases in the first and second island chains of the Pacific Ocean near the coast of China, threatening China's security. The United States controls the Strait of Malacca, threatening China's energy security. The United States has been provoking various conflicts in the South China Sea and has established a large number of military bases in the Philippines, threatening the safety of navigation in the South China Sea. The United States controls the world's media and public opinion, portraying China as a country that threatens world security and an evil country that violates human rights. In fact, the real evil country is the United States. China is extremely peace-loving and has not waged a war for decades.

The USMC specifically has been well ahead of the curve. They've been moving back to their roots for several years now and have been toying around with some next level stuff. A lot of the drone use we're seeing in Ukraine has already been tested by Marines going back several years. They are increasing the size of the fireteam to make use of these small surveillance drones that can also pack a top down punch using remote grenades. They want close air support on multiple scales. Keep in mind it was the USMC that first experimented with close air support in WW1. So now an assistant squad leader will help with mission critical and future cyber warfare capabilities on the squad leaders right shoulder, and a dedicated drone operator with 40mm remote grenades and likely other portable suicide drones on the squad leaders left shoulder. Every single squad will have the new Carl Gustaf. That's a lot of punch. Bye bye light machine gun. Every Marine sans the Gustaf gunner has the ability to lay down suppressing fire with the M27. They not only ditched their tanks but are also in the process of ditching most tubed artillery in favor of HIMARS which they proved can be fired from moving ships. Also eyeing the ballistic missiles in a shipping container concept. They are restructuring for island fights in a major way and with some serious ingenuity.

@spacecraftcarrier4135 - 2022-07-31

Technically if one thinks of aircraft carriers as being able to host fighter jets instead of just helicopters, then yea, the smaller LHA & LHDs of the US Navy counts.

And recently the US Navy managed to bolster their arsenal further by successfully testing out the conversion of their 2 America-class LHAs, USS America & USS Tripoli, into being able to host 20 F-35Bs. So now the number of US carriers that can send F-35 jets into combat have increased from 11 to 13, without even building any new carrier.

And the number of those LHAs will gradually increase overtime.

Another thing this video didn't mention is Japan's Navy ("Self-Defense Force"). The Japanese are now even converting their 2 largest helicopter carriers into aircraft carriers to also being able to host and operate F-35Bs, and additionally the Japanese Navy has about as many destroyers, frigates and submarines as the Royal Navy & French Navy combined. All of Japan's naval assets will definitely be in full support of the US Navy in the event of war with China and their misguided fantasies of invading Taiwan.
