    So the SJWs screaming about how horrible the USA is are now faced with having to go with China as their preferred option

    Gotta save face and keep up the narrative of Trump being somehow worse than Xi Jinping, right?

    Once again, you really don't recognize the irony in you of all people whining about SJWs? You have whined consistently when a business wants to operate how it sees fit.
    I'm sure you are outraged that a SJW like Peterson wants to silence someone who said something he didn't like. Let me know how outraged you are.

    Hiring people of different races =/= firing white people.

    Who do you envision when folks call half the nation deplorable?
    That's used to refer to people that mindlessly defend Trump; not white people specifically.

    Again, that many of those people ARE white is not the main impetus.

    As Martin Luther King Jr. said, we're not judging those people based on the color of their skin, but rather the content of their character; that content being mindlessly defending the womanizing, Putin-snuggling, thrice-divorced, porn-star paying off sycophantic liar Trump as some sort of paragon of virtue.

    And that character, not the color of their skin, is why they're called deplorables; that choice they make to plug their ears to his actions and words and claim that he's anything approaching a decent human being, let alone competent president.

    maybe you aren't anti white but your party sure as hell revals in that shit like the right revals in their subtle racism. Sorry if you don't see it.
    There are plenty of white people in parties other than the republican party.

The right think they can bring back the good old days where they exploited the shit out of minorities and the left wants those same good old day but think its white folks turn to be the ones exploited. No one wins in the US we just have those who lose less these days.
    Yeah I try to follow US politics, it is a mess for sure. Yesterday I read a article about amazon and how the workers there gets treated.. I cant believe its happening over in the US, I have even seen people defend that. So horrid.

    I'd prefer neither, but anyone who thinks America will emerge victorious from any kind of war with China is kidding themselves.

    Explain. China has an untested military that consists of largely inferior assets to the US. Every single projection I've seen has China fighting a defensive war shortly after us naval assets secure the seas and air off the coast. The rest is grinding down their air defenses and then they are largely helpless. If you are basing your thoughts on the size of their military then think again because once someone controls the air above then they can kill you at will in great numbers.

    You don't beat the US militarily. The US has a built-in weakness in that its people no longer trust any of its institutions. So all you have to do to beat the US is use diplomacy and espionage to push the correct emotional buttons and the America's own people will descend into civil war. In the case of the US, you'd offer the right wing faction supplies, training, and equipment in exchange for adopting an isolationist stance after the war is over so that you (China) rule as world superpower when the dust settles.

    In short, you fight the war on US soil between Americans because their own people are practically at each other's throats already. China might not have to fire a shot to win. China just has to, oh I dunno, send in Russia to hack a few elections until the left riots and then it cascades into civil war.
    TO FIX WOW:1. smaller server sizes & server-only LFG awarding satchels, so elite players help others. 2. "helper builds" with loom powers - talent trees so elite players cast buffs on low level players XP gain, HP/mana, regen, damage, etc. 3. "helper ilvl" scoring how much you help others. 4. observer games like in SC to watch/chat (like twitch but with MORE DETAILS & inside the wow UI) 5. guild leagues to compete with rival guilds for progression (with observer mode).6. jackpot world mobs.

    Where's this civil war you talk about then?? People are fine in general. No fighting etc.

    You think you're smart but you're not. America will bomb your hopeless arse.

    Seems clear how the 21st century is going to shape up, isn't it? It will certainly change the world as we know it.

    The US, China/Russia and the EU are going to be 3 power blocks that will duke it out somewhere between now and the year 2100. Reminds me of that Tom Clancy game, End War or something.

    Rare earth minerals aren't actually rare at all. Some are as common as copper. It's the process of refining them and China's undercutting that made it unprofitable/undesirable to mine them locally. The US use to be the top for these until China entered the market in the 90's. If China plays games it'll be just like shale oil when the price rises to the point that it is economically viable to again process these locally expect the mine(s) to reopen in the US. Also recently Japan has discovered huge deposits of rare earth minerals that could give China a run for it's money soon as top producer.

    The US have every advantage in the world when it comes to trade war.

    China only has one. Xi and the Communist Party do not have to worry about elections.

    Well, if I had to be honest, they've been right for years.

    However, what the world truly needs to be saved from is the idea they need a mighty savior to protect them in the first place. Superpowers are cancer.

    What? Have you ever seen Americans? We're perfectly happy to be at each other's throats... Until it's time to cover each other's backs. Then, class, creed, and race fall off like the tertiary concerns they are and we're firmly committed to putting a boot up someone's ass, Maybe even the person that wronged us!

    Seriously. It's like a whole thing, we're always looking for a great fight, and we haven't had one in so long we're going stir-crazy.

    There needs to be a real war between the two countries and America needs to lose.

    You know how in hig concept sci fi movies there is always the theme of china running everything. This is the start.

    China is powerful.

    America was powerful, but like Rome, they have fallen. Their people aren’t even healthy enough to fight.

    Blood will flow.
