China would absolutely step in.

Even in a selfish and self serving view of the situation, having a U.S. presence along the current northern North Korean border would be a security disaster of catastrophic proportions. The US would be able to station land based troops a stones throw away from Beijing itself and threaten cutting off the entirety of Manchuria in the event of a conflict. Further, the US could solidify an unshakable grasp on the Yellow Sea with land based aircraft, and safe harbors along the coast.

In a more nuanced look, China would never let North Korea fall for the massive historical and cultural tie between the nations.

Wikipedia is decent for getting surface level information on non political topics before doing a deeper dive.

Conservapedia are actual Neo-Nazi’s

This is misinformation and rage bait, as much as the US military would probably froth at the mouth to start more wars, this is simply deliberately untrue. The only declaration from the US about Yemen thus far been that UN naval assets (Chinese, American, British, French ships so far) will be mobilized to closely escort shipping through the strait and Red Sea, and that those assets have authorization to fire upon inbound pirates, missiles, and drones. The operation is titled Operation Prosperity Guardian if anyone is curious.

This was decided upon at the UN Security Council, and composes 38 different nations, this is not simply a US military decision. The directive simply creates a dedicated task force from assets originally assigned to patrol in the Indian Ocean, and along the Somali coast, into dedicated escort units. The taskforce itself is also simply a redeployment of a taskforce that was headed by the Egyptian Navy until earlier this year when the Egypt ceded leadership of that particular task force.

The US military is a force of evil, but if we mindlessly sensationalize and lie about the reality of situations, then no one will believe us when it will be most important.

Have to go out like Lenin I guess. It's only appropriate.

Empty gestures. I’ll believe that the Saudi’s are “fed up” when they stop gladly using American bombs to commit genocide, and stop accepting American money to destabilize the Middle East.

You mean the US political class. NASA is the one sponsoring this blatant side step of the ban in a massive fuck you, in the name of science.

Plus NASA side steps the ban commonly. They usually send samples to Vietnam or Taiwan, and the samples “””accidentally””” ends up in Chinese hands. Who study and then return the samples.

Yes, because the end conclusion you’re supposed to reach with this train of thought is that Jews control everything and the highest positions of power.

It’s a misrepresentation of the situation in order to push genuine Anti-Semitic propaganda.

Because China has laid their foreign policy positions bare and have stood by them for over a decade at this point. A core tenant of that policy is a primary focus on local security, and a strong non-interference policy.

Further, directly supporting Palestine offers no real benefit to China and its policy goals, and it would be needlessly poking a hornets nest for little to nothing in return.

My bad! Thanks for the correction!

He’s not in the United States. How is his society built on “white supremacy”? How is anything you said relevant to anyone outside the US or anglosphere?

His family had nothing to do with owning slaves because their society never interacted with the slave trade in any way. In fact, there’s a strong chance that his white ancestors were literally slaves themselves in the Russian Empire. I know mine were.

Also where does he have “toxic pride”????

The guy on the right looks like Director Krennic. I thought I was going nuts for a second.

Tell me I’m wrong.

Weird how a lot more Russians, Belarussians, and Kazahs starved when the government was trying to specifically target Ukraine supposedly.
