if *not playing sportsball* with the ccp is warmongering, then war is inevitable and it is better that it should be soon when victory is more likely, and I can fight in it instead of my children.

this is my absolute favorite response to this tweet; the guy who indignantly accuses me of *not having tweeted about uyghurs*

seriously tho the reason they vanished her is because all the CCP top brass as sex criminals, like legit all of them.

once the dominos start falling on women (kids?) speaking out about those dudes it's gonna be an absolute meltdown

see, i think it is. if you assume that only, say, 1/10 of sex scandals involving us electeds ever come to light, you're still at like just 30-60% of our electeds being sex criminals, and im saying in the ccp top ranks it's like literally everyone

also as an aside this is a GREAT EXAMPLE of one of the US' best strategic resources: accountability. when we model accountability, when we ignite campaigns of transparency and create global norms that the elite can be held to account, it impacts other countries.

if you want to crush the CCP, then you should:
1) improve bank transparency and auditing
2) crack down on money laundering
3) massively punish firms who pay bribes anywhere in the world
4) create social norms of elite accountability

all the ccp elites are tied up in money-laundering, corporate corruption around the world, etc. they're all guilty of numerous financial and other crimes in numerous countries, including often China itself, hence why changes of power in China come with lots of elites vanishing.

the biggest problem the elites face is the growing suspicion by normal people in china that the rules don't apply to the elite families, that they're looting the system, etc. that's why xi's anti-corruption campaign was so important!

but it's pretty obvious it was also extremely selective.

so if you want to wreck'em, *expose their personal wealth and sex stuff*. they absolutely cannot handle it.

also take away their prestigious toys like the olympics.

whereas in the US learning that a politician is a sex weirdo is, like, just tuesday; it's no threat to the system. we'll just vote them out.
