A classified US military intelligence report seen by the ABC says China is rapidly building up the country’s commercial ferry fleet to prepare for an invasion of Taiwan.

The report dates from earlier this year and was prepared by members of the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) for the Pentagon.

The US intelligence says the large ocean-going vessels have been modified to carry tanks and partake in amphibious operations.

    Can they just not? Fucking please?

    Fuck Taiwan, fuck China, fuck the american empire–they can all rot for all I care, but do we really need more bullshit popping off? Can we not have one stable place that mostly just makes stuff and does a little soft imperialism?

      Zero-tolerance policy a.k.a. bully and victim are equally guilty?

      I understand your exasperation but solidarity this is not.

        I feel bad that I don’t care about the people anymore. Definitely something wrong with me. Could not give fewer shits about the well-being of the governments.

        I would just like one thing to not be actively on fire right now. I thought we could at least count of the CCP to be the still-evil adult in the room collecting wins quietly by just not actively being stupid while all the other governments wave their dicks around and blow each other up.
