Good point! Maybe if we all kill ourselves, China won't be able to take our data!

US veterans are just about the last place you'd find intelligence catgirl-smug

Reminder for any lurking libs that even rabidly pro-US sources admit that USAID was often a front for US intelligence and that calling medical care "warfare" is literally the stupid shit out of 1984 you love so much

If they could read they'd be very upset

Tbh I sure hope the CPC is gathering as much info on US as possible from these veterans

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 day ago

aren't they the ones to deny heathcare for poor people? always projection isn't it?

Chinese medical teams are treating US veterans

A cynical view maybe, but imo Its great optics for them, like when Cuba cured the blindness of the guy who murdered Che

Even if these vets are likely war criminals who should be in prison, prisoners still deserve medical care, and it's not as if they're now in a position to re-enlist and commit more atrocities because China fixed them up Cold comfort to their victims of course, the 'game' of geopolitics requires cynicism and pragmatism unfortunatley

[–] Lenins_Dumbbell@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Damn, I kinda wish they cured his blindness and then executed him.

He took the life of one of the greatest revolutionaries to ever live. Feels like he got off easy

[–] ClathrateG@hexbear.net 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 18 hours ago) (1 children)

For sure, but it boosts Cuba's humanitrian cred internationally which is better in the long run that a single septeginarian getting his comeuppance

Similar to the CPC sparing and rehabilitating Puyi, even though he deserved death for his collaboration with the Japanese among many other crimes
the value of proving the humanatrian nature of the party/state/ideology is simply of greater value than the catharsis of just punishment on an individual
(some may argue the deterrence is of greater value but studies show that the severity of punishment has no bearing on the choice to commit a crime)

[–] Lenins_Dumbbell@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

You're right. The revolutionaries who actually carried out a revolution and built socialism knew better. I'm glad there are level headed people like that and yourself who can think rationally and make the right call.

I saw he killed Che and immediately saw red. Goes to show I've a lot of learning and growing to do still

[–] ClathrateG@hexbear.net 4 points 16 hours ago

That's why we're shitposters and not on the politburo(yet...)

[–] Athena5898@hexbear.net 16 points 2 days ago

Not strictly. Army is bad. But there is people who get tricked into it. Those people who turn into leftist are some of the most die hards you'll find. By treating veterans specifically it could actually be very helpful with changing public opinion. Lot harder to arguing with a veteran when you still prop them up. My friends fuck with liberals all the time knowing this.

[–] agentant@hexbear.net 27 points 2 days ago

Have you considered they wouldn't have to be seeking Chinese aid if you just gave your veterans healthcare?

[–] mortemtyrannis@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 day ago

So that means the US government will start providing medical care?

No! Fuck you! You shouldn’t have got sick if you are so poor! - US government

[–] Feed_el_Castro@hexbear.net 23 points 2 days ago

These are the same people who have been promoting the idea that western NGOs are totally not CIA fronts to destabilize their geopolitical opponents btw

[–] sexywheat@hexbear.net 40 points 2 days ago

Healing the sick, but at what cost? pearl-clutch

[–] came_apart_at_Kmart@hexbear.net 38 points 2 days ago

truly, an insidious weapon. if people knew the abstract opportunity cost to wealthy elites, they would never choose to be attacked with medicine and would much prefer to have their house bombed.

[–] TranscendentalEmpire@lemmy.today 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Obviously this is the Chinese trying to extract the 6g microchips from our brave boys in brown. The great industrialist bill gates has spent countless hours implanting these himself and these Chinese doctors are just stealing proprietary technology.

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm on 8G microchips already. Superior western tech smh

[–] DanComrd@hexbear.net 2 points 1 day ago

8G? Damn they are only rolling out 5G in our area

Chinese medical teams are treating U.S. veterans while gathering intelligence.

Yeah bud, that's basic espionage. Every country does that all of the time.

[–] Damarcusart@hexbear.net 11 points 2 days ago

No, but the movies assured me that spies are always doing cool action shit and blowing stuff up while wearing a suit! You mean to tell me that most spying is just being nice people with information and then getting them to reveal that information to you because you were nice to them? meow-tableflip

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 24 points 2 days ago

What is it going to radicalize some troops that hey the va doesn't give a shit about you and here's a foreign country that's supposed to be your "enemy" that does?

[–] LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 19 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

The media owners editorializing and the writers willing to put their fucking names to this deserve to be like, okay, imagine the most fucked up chauvinistic inaccurate western depictions of mesoamerican human sacrifice, they deserve that but somehow slightly worse. I will cheer and laugh and dance and cry as their blood rains down knowing that i will never have to hear such fucking absurd accusations ever again and in that moment i know i will feel hope for the future for the first time

[–] miz@hexbear.net 16 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Bret Stephens and David Brooks are first in line.

I would be hard pressed to name a name to go first, so intense and pure is my hatred, but i imagine if this ever happens it'll need a committee set up to manage it and im sure they'd consider suggestions

[–] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 10 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

You've heard of the jaws of life, now get ready for the jaws of death, pneumatically opening up ribcages like big oysters

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 11 points 2 days ago

Super good sign for the future of the country that "have you considered not intentionally being a massive piece of shit at literally every opportunity" is a superior foreign policy than whatever were doing.
