So the German embassy in China thought they were clever.

They posted on Weibo, a person holding a blank piece of paper.

Obviously in support of the protests that happened in China

But the Chinese on Weibo is having a field day, photoshopping jokes on them...examples in the🧵
This one says:

"German soap is very good, but too bad, you only have cold water to shower"

This is a double entendre

Because Germans during WW2 used the fat from murdered Jewish victims and turned them into bars of soap
This one say:

"Glory to Russia"

Mocking the constant blabbering of "slava ukraini" by German and other EU embassy Weibo accounts
This one says:

"The German government would like to apologize to the 158,000 people who died of covid in Germany"
This one says:

"Lessons learned

Next time, let's hope the middleman do not siphon off the money we pay for the protesters

And also, make sure the protesters learn the local dialects properly"
This refers to a string of incidents, where protesters were promised certain amount of money, only to have most of that taken away by the middleman organizers

It also makes fun of locals scolding "protesters" from out-of-town who don't speak the local dialect
This one says:

"I'm wrong, I'm wrong, I'm wrong, I'm wrong"
This makes fun of a paid protester, who immediately apologizes and admitted wrong doing, as soon as he was dragged away by the police
Some of you might say, hey, that's pretty cruel
Well..
1) Don't sell your country out

2) I have heard from a national security insider, that these low-level paid protesters will only get a warning and a phone call to their parents

It's the organizers that needs to be worried
This one says:

"Costa Rica, send us home"

Referring Germany's poor performance at the World cup and will be eliminated if they lose to Costa Rica
This one says:

"American master, please be kind, and give us some natural gas"
"Z"

Can my Russian friends translate the Cyrillic?
I think it says Slava Rossiya
This one says:
"I didn't return my shared bike"
Referring to this protester, being led away by police,
who is more concerned about the potential 50 RMB fine than the actual protest
We Chinese know of the protests, and we are against the foreign backed color revolution

Perhaps this is why western media is lying to your face, claiming the Chinese don't know of the protests

Thread🧵

My assessment on how India may change the way they conduct war after this defeat by Pakistan.

And what Pakistan must do to prepare.

🔴India will decrease or outright refuse to use air assets in the future against Pakistan, due to being out matched.
Here's why: Image
The superiority of Pakistan in the air is not just about pilots or fighters or missiles.

Pakistan has a superiority of systems including AWACS and electronic warfare.

As long as Pakistan continues to improve and build on this strength, India is unlikely to catch up. Image
🔴Next time, India will rely exclusively on ground launched cruise missiles and loiter munitions.

Their aim is to saturate Pakistani air defense systems and win by number and fire volume.

Hence Pakistan must invest heavily on air defense, specifically more layers, more variety.

Trump wants to have a twin-engine version of the F-35, dubbing it the F-55.

So similar to the Chinese J-35.

From this we can delve into an interesting rabbit hole, comparing the efficiency of Chinese armament industry vs their US counterparts.
🧵
Image
The F-35 should've been a twin engine setup from the start. They were forced to use a single engine, because of the useless F-35B STOVL (short takeoff vertical landing) variant for the marines.

In most scenarios, the US marines do not need to fight for their own air superiority Image
US navy's aircraft carriers can do that.

And if the US marines really needs their own airwing, why not just put a ramp on their amphibious assault ships, and have a STOBAR set up?

The twin-engine F-35 can takeoff from ski jumps and land traditionally with arresting wire. Image

My detailed analysis of the Pakistan-India conflict.

What did Pakistan do well and which areas does Pakistan needs to improve upon.

Then a weapon list for Pakistan to increase their existing qualitative edge over India, deterring future aggressions.
1/🧵 Image
First, general assessment.

In this engagement Pakistan's air force were the main deciding factor for their victory.

Pakistan Air Force, PAF has proven that they can deploy half the number of fighters in the air, and still gain air superiority over India.
After this defeat, India will seek to bolster their weapon systems by throwing money at the problem.

More flashy weapons will be inducted, creating a hodgepodge of incompatible weapon systems from 10 different countries.

A thread on why the F-47 might not be considered as true 6th generation fighter due to its canards.

And why canards are fine for 5th gen stealth fighters but not 6th gen fighters.
1/9🧵 Image
The most important qualifiers to be a 6th gen fighter, are All-aspect stealth and muti-band stealth.

All-Aspect Stealth; Means the aircraft is stealth from all angles, 6th gen fighters removes the vertical tail to achieve this.

Such as the J-36 Image
Multi-band stealth means the aircraft must be very low observable VLO in both high and low frequency radars.

The B-2 bomber or the Chinese J-36 are great example of an aircraft with multi-band stealth.

People don't understand "market economy". Yes, It's a fraud, but this fraudulent system runs the world.

Here's how China has enabled the cheat code of capitalism.

I'll use this American style suburbia in Shanghai as an example.
1/10🧵
Restricting housing density to low, will drive up home prices, stabilizing the real estate sector. This is the easy way to generate GDP.

Like it or not, the real estate sector is a sizable portion of the economy in every country.
The current oversupply in Chinese real-estate is in part due to very high density developments. Most post 2010 developments are above 30 stories high.

Lower the density, solves half of the problem in Chinese real estate.

BUT, it'll increase the price, capitalist say it's good Image

The rationale for war with China over Taiwan, by the US Army War College:

The Americans believe China will be the one to initiate the war with the US over Taiwan, by attacking US forces.

Comprehensive thread diving into the mind games played between China and the US
1/10🧵
What does this particular rationale presented by the US Army War College tell us?

Our conclusion is that the US is afraid to initiate the war over Taiwan with China, because they lack good rationales for a such costly conflict.

To the US, war should be a profitable business.
Wars do not start with a snap of the finger.

There are many rungs on the ladder of escalation finishing with open conflict.

Whichever side intends to climb that ladder has the *initiative* to escalate.

The other side then has the *dilemma* to escalate in response or not. Image
