That’s because it’s a stupid idea blurted out by a senile old man who’s just remember things talked about decades ago by other Presidents. He remembered the star wars program under Regan and here we go. At most it’s a bullshit front to pump money into more nukes to aim at China. As if they ever needed to justify that before.

Either that or it’s gonna be an excuse to point nukes at their own cities. Which I would t be surprised of either. If something ever comes about that jeopardizes their rule, I can see them burning it all down rather than losing control. It makes sense honestly. The more time passes the more their strategy seems to shift from winning against outside forces and more about losing in a way that keeps their power at home.

They are thinking about how superior they see themselves to everyone else because they love the taste of their masters boots.

Ah yes, the early days of google. Back when you could easily find… Porn… Of anything. Of everything. Everything was porn.

All I see.

Not perhaps to plans of being ready for a war next year or 2028 but eventually and next decade likely.

Simply put, I doubt this is possible. Pentagon reports a decade ago admitted that by 2025 China’s military production will reach a point where the US will never be able to catch up and compete. China’s ship building alone is what, something like 200+ times that of the US now? If it takes them a decade to “decouple” to “be ready for war” it will just end up being nuclear because a conventional war will be impossible for the west to win.

Most solar panels the world over come from China at this point. That’s why the US is tariffing the shit out of them right now. China not only makes them all but they subsidize the production of solar cells in other countries. Based on another post of yours I commented on the other day. China is literally subsidizing the world to make going solar easier. Meanwhile the US is actively trying to hasten climate collapse by pumping out more pollution than ever.

Yeah, my first thoughts on any new amazing tech from China is “That’s so awesome for them! I will never get to see it in my lifetime.”

China be like.

They are so pathetically terrified of people seeing how badly Chinese tech absolutely shits on anything in garbage ass US.

Xi please, new video cards are too expensive. Please pacify me with with an AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT GPU and a Ryzen 7 9800X3D. Please. I yearn to be placated.

The average redditor is so insanely brain rotted that I find it harder and harder to determine if they are a real person making these sort of unhinged comments or if it’s just some mindless bot of a human working out of a cube farm at an air force base.

I think it’s easier to design maglevs to be more aerodynamic but also the lack of needing wheels at all is a big deal. Basically high speed rails are far more efficient at lower speeds but require far more energy at high speeds specifically because of the limitations of wheels and friction based propulsion.

Maglevs are far less efficient at low speeds due to the energy requirements of the magnetic levitation, but at high speeds beat out the rails because they just glide over the tracks and are propelled by fucking magic and no moving parts.

This is how I understand it. Deepseek told me. lol

Neverminded having 5 fully operable digits, which even humans really only need when playing musical instruments

I’m sorry but wtf are you smoking? Lol. Almost all use of human tools needs 5 digits to work effectively. That why the most advanced prosthetic hands and arms are designed to mimic 5 digit hands. Sure there are disabled people that make due but the vast majority of tasks are so drastically easier with 5 functioning digits. Primarily because those tasks, tools, etc, were created with the use of 5 digits in mind. I’m sorry but this statement is absolutely ludicrous at its base foundation. It literally breaks my brain that someone would think this in any way. As someone who does woodworking, painting, cooking, and a bunch of other hobbies that involve manual use of your hands… I just can’t even. Lol. I can’t imagine doing 1/10th of what I do without thumbs and I don’t even play a musical instrument.

No, highspeed trains are tradition trains using wheels. They just go really fast but start to hit a hard cap around 400kph where wind resistance becomes so great that it becomes harder and harder to overcome. Maglevs on the other hand are far more efficient at extreme speeds. Maglevs can get up to like 500+kph now.

What is the price and efficiency of these vs maglev trains? As I understand, maglevs can already surpass 400kph.

There is nothing they can do to compete with China at this point. They’ve turned ever avenue into just a way to funnel money to the oligarchy. The US cannot manufacture anything to the extent China can. Even if they somehow managed it, their “next gen” ship, aircraft, etc, will take so long to develop and make, it’ll be obsolete by the time it’s usable. We learned as much from the F35. lol

China is going to develop a defense for all this shit pretty fast if you ask me. Then the west will be absolutely fucked as they spend all their time trying to block China instead of innovating themselves. Meanwhile China creates better and better AI while creating better and better defenses against the wests attacks. lol.
