It’s the natural result of a century of anti Russia and anti Chinese propaganda. The entire western world lost its damn mind and is likely to go full nuclear warfare before realizing they’ve been manipulated by a few wealthy people.

…Bernie said the US supported democracy. This is, in every conceivable way, a complete and total lie.

It’s such a ridiculous lie that you wouldn’t be able to say just those words after the year 1805.

treat Chinese tourists like shit

Treat China like a hostile force

Increasingly enshittify own economies

Wonder why Chinese tourists stop coming

Xinjiang is more interesting to visit than anywhere in France, and you don’t have to worry about being hit on by a weird French guy.

Guns. The advent of firearms revolutionized warfare to the extent that no other military arms mattered, and no other training mattered.

Before firearms were adopted, it would take a good ten to twenty years to raise a standing army, and retinues would still need a few months of training to not be slaughtered within the first battle. With firearms you just need a week or two and any peasant with two arms became an effective soldier.

Contrasting this, bowmen weren’t peasants. They did not return to their family when there wasn’t war. They were trained from around the age of seven to around the age of 15, and after this would be a professional soldier until they retired or died; training every single day (except Sundays or Saturdays depending on religion). They were paid to be bowmen, nothing else. Even if a peasant could use a bow, say if they were a hunter, they would never qualify for military service. Its that big of a difference in skill.

As to their differences in effect, range and force.

The weakest powder musket equals a ~80lbs draw war bow. Both can pierce plate armor on a good day, but the former can do so from a longer distance and again with decades less training. As guns get more advanced, their range and penetration increases massively, whereas most archers will be unable to draw a 120lbs or higher bow, meaning there is a maximum distance and effectiveness of bows that is almost comically lower than weapons.

To keep with freedom units, a deadly long range bow shot tops out at around a quarter mile with a high draw weight long bow. That’s about the absolute max, assuming the victim is wearing no armor. The current record for a sniper with a gun is around 1.5 miles, with the target wearing body armor.

Sometimes ignorance makes its origins obvious, but literally every single part of your viewpoint can be disproven by just reading any science communication website, much less the actual papers behind the quantum processors currently in commercial operation so how you came to believe what you believe is just a complete mystery.

He explicitly supports Israel and has stated one of his goals is to make Ukraine a larger Israel.

That requires genocide, as all ethnostates do.

Libs can only pretend to support one minority group at a time, and the gays didn’t help them get elected this time 'round.

Not really, you people just killed and imprisoned anyone that wasn’t racist towards Russians for years until there wasn’t anyone outwardly neutral or positive towards Russia.
