<The Mechanical Turk, also known as the Automaton Chess Player, was a fraudulent chess-playing machine, first displayed in 1770, which appeared to be able to play a strong game of chess autonomously, but whose pieces were in reality moved via levers and magnets by a chess master hidden in the machine's lower cavity.

wow even just the first couple of minutes of this are fascinating.

>Russia is the sole nation on the planet that possesses every single element on the periodic table
what an interesting way to look at strategic readiness. It abstracts away a lot of the higher level commodities and just looks at it in terms of pure chemistry. I never hear things phrased that way.

I ended up going down a rabbit hole and watching a bunch of this dude's videos because they were fascinating. Watching AI dubbed Chinese state media reveals how much more intelligent and ironically less propagandistic than American private sector news media. I don't even say it to dickride China. This shit is objectively the truth.

Can I just stop everyone for a second and point out the elegance of China's solution?

I think my problem with this is that it almost seems naive, like the US is just going to roll over and take it. But one must understand that US is a settler colony, surrendering is not possible. It will be a fight to the death. Its a kind of rome vs cathage issue (from a cultural standpoint not an economic one). Hannibal just couldn't process that the Romans would never surrender under any circumstances, I feel like China might make the same mistake. Any conflict between the US and China will be a fight to the death its that simple. Thats why China would do better to simply just counter the US's power geopolitically like they are right now. Gambling on Taiwan is uneeded when you are ahead like this.

(cont) I think the Hannibal analogy holds even more because Hannibals strategy was the try to pry away Romes italian allies and sway them over to Carthages side. But that strategy failed because ultimatley the italians were indoctrinated by the roman cultural and political system by that point, so the highest aspiration for them was Roman citizenship something Hannibal could never offer. Its the same with the US and China, ultimately China is a commnuist country and when push comes to shove it feels like all the nations in BRICS don't really have any ideological loyalty to each other so as a result when they are forced into a choice US victory or Chinese victory it feels like they are going with the same choice the Italians went with that being sticking with the status quo and trying to advance within it rather than trying to change things up.

>>2477757
(cont) I feel like the only way for China to escape this is by simply forcing the US to make the first move. If it seems like the US is chimping out, China will be more likely to have allies because it will now be about whether nations want to allow the US to trample on their sovereignty freely rather than a battle for the world. This is also why China's non-interventionist policies might end up biting them in the ass because it has allowed liberal regimes to crop up all around them and as a result its surrounded by people with nothing to bond them to China other than convience.

buddy I'm american and I've already surrendered. I have no attachment to this settler colony. you compare it to rome but romans were actually indigenous to rome, if not all the areas they conquered. It's really not like rome vs. carthage but something much much different. i will not die for israel, and I will not die fighting china. i feel like a lot of the people, even the reactionaries, here in the burger reich are sick of forever wars that do nothing for us.

Rome was a nation built on slavery, genocide, plunder, and conquest. Sure they lacked a true settler component akin to the US but they are two peas in a pod everywhere else. They both share a sense of civic nationalism combined with a enormously powerful oligarchy heading the top bent on enslaving everyone not one of "them". The USA can't surrender because if it does it will come cascading down entirely it knows this so any situation where it feels threatened it will go all in.

And this is what will happen

one can only hope

oh damn. that's huge.

The hilarious irony in the Rome vs Carthage comparison focused on the military aspect is that China is Rome while the USA is Carthage. The up and coming land power becoming a maritime superpower with an ideology where war, people and land are connected (Mao compared to Mars) vs the status quo naval merchant hegemon whose military relies on mercenaries. So "America delenda est"?
