  • Economic, trade, soft power, cyber…sure, hell they stand a chance in those. Combat? Not even close, they would be leveled. The tricky part is using the advantage they have in the first few without receiving the kneejerk usage of the last one against them.

    In actuality, the CCP influencing anything outside China (and arguably inside China) is a worst case outcome. The US doing so is very quickly moving up the ranks to the second worst. The world is going to need the EU, and allies, to step up and keep both in check.


















  • I used to fight all the time (just a violent kid) and even then, getting gassed out happens so fast and damaging strikes are so hit-or-miss it is wild. You could be landing body blows all day, then one lucky elbow accident hits you in the face and it is sleepy time and they can stomp your face unopposed. I have seen fights go in the most bizarre directions off lucky hits and random body issues. As someone that has officially trained, it is still just so much effort, when you get up to just 2 or 3 people coming at you, even with training, that is a walk away moment. Before I learned how to actually fight, I was 100% certain I know how to fight. It is worth being humbled.
