- I’m sure I remember seeing NCD suggest this as the ultimate funny thing for China, a year ago. Glad to see Chinese social media likes our ideas.
- I hope it spreads to the point where tankies bend over backwards to defend this as not expansions at all, while somehow being on the side of both russia and China.
😕🫸Expansion?
😏👉Reclamation!
Calling it now: Russia has Siberia for 400 years and did dick with it. China can use Siberian resources better than Russia.
It will always be about exploitation.
and space. russia has struggled to build any population of note out east, whereas China has people ready to go and a few decades of belt-and-road construction as prep.
People,but not enough young women. China needs your women, Russia! Line up your nubile virgins to the left.
iirc demographically, even after the one child policy and preference for boys for generations, the demographic split only went to 112 (male) to 100 women… which isn’t great no doubt but hardly a good reason to go north.
the potential resource bounty and space on the other hand… no need to frame the issue as rapey
This is a humorous shitposting community of degenerates, deplorables and malcontents, don’t tell me what to do. By the old gods and the new, I swear that no nubile virgins were involved in the making of this thread. Probably. Incels are just as welcome here as anyone else. You don’t even need pants in this club, but you do need a sense of the ridiculous.
humorous
oh.
I missed that part.
Might want to add another > to the rules list
it would be glorious
What I’d love to see is all the nations who’ve had territory seized by Russia over the last century or so take it back, all at once.
Japan, Finland, Georgia and whoever I’ve missed all say “OK, Now!”, and China gets in on the action just for fun.
Russia would be so incredibly pissed off.
Yes, this would be the ideal - then Poland and Lithuania can share Kaliningrad.
A free Crimea… Transnistria free of putin’s bullshit…
Vladivostok returned to Yongmingcheng …
Kaliningrad belongs to the Germans…
At the moment it belongs to the russians but if Germany can make a good argument and pay off the neighbors, sure why not
The russians wiped it clean after the second world war, so there’s not really anything left Form the times as Königsberg.
Seeing how much struggle it was to reintegrate the former GDR, I say ‘No, thank you’
so leave it to the russians? or make it an independent state?
How about some kind of extrajudicial disneyland?
Sorry, it used to be called Konigsberg under Germany, but i think Russia took it under control following world war 2.
I just wonder how long the country russia expects to own some random chunk of the baltic coast that they’re not connected to ethnically, historically or geographically lol…
I feel the same way about diego garcia / uk / us.
Who was living in the Chagos Islands prior to European arrival?
Who was living in the Chagos Islands prior to European arrival?
literally searched your query into duckduckgo - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chagos_Archipelago
The Chagos Islands had been home to the Chagossians, a Bourbonnais Creole-speaking people, until the United Kingdom expelled them from the archipelago at the request of the United States between 1967 and 1973 to allow the United States to build Naval Support Facility Diego Garcia, a military base on Diego Garcia, on land leased from the UK military in the British Indian Ocean Territories. Since 1971, only the atoll of Diego Garcia has been inhabited, and only by employees of the US military, including American civilian contracted personnel. Since being expelled, Chagossians, like all others not permitted by the UK or US governments, have been prevented from entering the islands.
If they wait 50 years they can annex it through a personal union, though it will lead to a temporary happiness drop with their other vassals
Lol please do it, it’d be funny.
I mean, Russia is being worse to LGBT people compared to China’s treatment of LGBT people, so I guess its a slight improvement?
But then, the firewall is much superior to russia’s, so its gonna get harder to bypass censorship.
But good news, they gets free re-education to learn Social Harmony, and love peace, and love Xinnie the Pooh!
Also, no more pronoun issues. Pronouns are always 他/他 (pronounced tā), gendered pronouns are a thing of the past. (Chinese language does not really use gendered pronouns)
They might not use genered pronouns, but they do a lot of referring to people as uncle/auntie/big sister/little brother and the like.
Less pro, more noun. Gotcha.
No idea why it boils down to treatment of LGBT, as if that is the only group that is consistently fucked with.
Indeed. “Women hold up half the sky”, my left buttock. The current Chinese economy is built on the bones of millions of little girls. When they invade Russia client states, then start pressuring the borders of Russia itself, I have no idea who to favor. I’ll just keep planting sunflowers.
Welcome to Lemmy. We have only three topics - LGBT, Linux and USA politics ( lately rebranded to TrumpElon ).
Don’t forget Star Trek.
God dammit, you got me.
China might actually win this border war for once. One of Russia’s only W streaks was the Sino-Soviet/Russian border wars.
I would just laugh.
Sure, it would be criminal and shit, but when has russia last cared about any of that UN funnyspeak?
Bon apetit, China.
Finally, tankies can be on the decolonization side again
They can (but they wont)
Come on dog. Only a cowardly Winnie the Pooh looking dipshit would be afraid of going after Russia when they are weak.
China has publicly included the loss of Manchuria to Russia in like 1905~ to be part of it’s great century of shame and that China considers it part of Greater China.
Expanding North beyond that into Siberia would open up the arctic ocean to them, which if nobody does anything, will only get more valuable as we heat up
Ok, it seems like the video talks about the dissolution of russia, not just weakened state. The video talks about the day US defeat russia and russia have to dissolve into multiple small countries. They afraid that once that happened, the newly formed independent state will be occupied by US(kinda like Afghanistan) and then china will lose their military strength. To prevent that, china need to annex(their word) it themselves. After that UN is not needed, and everything need to went through China.
So basically its some ultranationalist wet dream in video form.
Fits with Chinese imperial history.
Don’t say seize. Say ‘special military operation’.
Just defending their borders against aggressive neighbors
I honestly thought about this scenario couple of years back when reading about Russia and Canada possibly benefiting from climate change as their northern areas thaw and become forests and farmlands.
