Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
Extremely weird take by the libs at the SCMP, who are notoriously bad with military reporting.
Some PLA watchers have reported on a recent standoff between US and Chinese electronic warfare aircraft near the Philippines:
I think that this lines up extremely well with the US Tomahawks being pulled almost immediately afterwards. If they can't fly without GPS then they're just useless targets. Certainly makes more sense than the US somehow deciding to conceed to Putin under the anti-Russian Biden admin.
Article is worth a read if you want to get a sense of shifting military power dynamics between China and the US as well. The US drops an ASW device, China coast guard tries to recover it. US Navy ship tries to interfere, causing a Chinese carrier group to show up. Both sides blast each other with electronic warfare and in the end the Americans scamper off.
Inshallah the US isn't far from its big Suez moment.
"The US retreated, but they inflicted a power outage on the Chinese side. What did the Chinese side inflict on the US side that made them retreat? Don't worry about it."
Losing an argument so bad you stomp out of the room in a huff and turn off the lights in sheer pettiness.
