Posts from The yellow threat: myth or reality?Auto-translated
Look how the Americans have evolved. They are adventurers seeking money in new lands, and the United States was populated by slaves, prisoners, and unsuccessful businessmen. And what? In two hundred years, the United States has become the most powerful country in the world. At this rate, no Chinese will be able to help...
The Americans are doing great, there's no denying that! But it wasn't just slaves and losers who built this country, and they didn't start from scratch. As for the most powerful country in the world, nothing lasts forever... Rapid progress can be followed by a rapid decline... The United States also has its own problems: a trillion-dollar foreign debt, unemployment, a decline in business activity, a decrease in the real value of the currency, and wars...
In addition, China is constantly pushing them back, gradually taking over their trade spheres of influence, and in terms of growth rates, the United States will definitely not be able to catch up with them.
Recently, there was a series of programs about China on Discovery Channel, and they said that if China maintains its current rate of development, in 40 years they will need the resources of another planet, like ours!
...I personally believe that there will definitely be another major war, but between China and the United States (it's not for nothing that the Americans are developing the latest bombers to strike at China's inland areas). The Chinese will definitely want to challenge America, and in turn, they will get a great reason to get rid of a dangerous competitor (doesn't that remind you of something?...). Although, most likely, we will also suffer... :smile51: and we will have to choose who to be friends with... :smile23:
...and we shouldn't be afraid of the Chinese, although we need to be prepared, because it was we who brought communism to them, and they flourished because of it)))
...and things aren't so bad with us - yes, it's a difficult time, and pessimists are always around, but throughout our thousand-year history, we have been on the verge of collapse many times and ALWAYS recovered... maybe we have some kind of special people...
...And now Russia is among the four most dynamically developing countries, along with China, India and Brazil... :smile54:
Иногда они возвращаются :smile27: Бросайте флуд и оффтоп из раздела пятерки в Флудовские ссылки или мне в личку.
As for the Chinese, they will find it easiest to conquer the world, especially without war. They won't initiate a war; they will simply spread across the planet until there is no room left for others. But if D. Sam attacks first, it's anyone's guess who will win... In any case, the planet of the Chinese will soon become completely uninhabitable, if only because all production will be Chinese:D
The yellow threat... hmm. But I think the threat lies elsewhere. The problem is that the Russian nation is dying out. Like dinosaurs. We can't properly populate the country and provide a normal life for everyone.
As a historian, I am skeptical about this. I know you are too, so there's no need to explain it to you. We have already assimilated the Tatars and Mongols once. There were also Chinese people in their army. And if we're being completely skeptical, then very little remains of the Slavs in us.
How many Mongols were there (1 million, including all surrounding tribes)? How many of them had contact with the Russians (approximately 250,000)? And how many Chinese? They can't be assimilated; rather, they are the ones who assimilate us.
The Russian nation is threatened not only by the Chinese... There are many such threats. And, frankly, we are not focusing on the right things... We shouldn't waste time discussing every threat. Everyone needs to do their job well. Then no one will be a threat to us.
It's not about reproduction, but about ethnopsychology. The Chinese are ready to do almost anything for the sake of China's greatness. But what are we ready to do?

This is the problem with Slavic nations. Everyone else sees their neighbors as friends or at least neutrals, but we see them as enemies and a constant threat...

That was the case, but now times have changed. I would even say the opposite – we are forming alliances and learning from the wrong people. I think you know who I mean.
In foreign policy, we have problems due to the stupidity of almost all politicians (they don't understand that by governing well, they can steal more and rule for longer). Belarus was given a lesson once (Belarusians, please don't be offended) when Lukashenko was complaining about something regarding gas; they completely cut off the gas supply for a few days, and everything became fine. I can't understand why we can't do the same with Latvia. As for China and Sam, they realized that in the early 90s, we agreed to almost all trade proposals to squeeze out at least some money. As long as we agreed, we were friends. Now, they understand that we will only agree to conditions that are more or less beneficial for us, and we call ourselves partners.
