  • Absolutely. All that “peaceful coexistence” bullshit is just to cover that their military is not strong enough. That blog article doesn’t even attempt to analyze the current PLA’s military capabilities, let along compare the PLA’s military capabilities to what the US has or what the SU had.

    This is a persistent problem of leftist analysis. They pretty much do not analyze things from a military perspective, ceding the ground to “Anglo Jews invented globohomo and installed the Anglo Jew agent Lenin after overthrowing Saint Nicholas the last man standing against the globohomo menace” reactionaries and “that slightly large explosion was actually multiple tactical nukes going off at once in a successful attempt to prevent the enemy from setting off their own tactical nukes” cranks. The Russian SMO enjoyer crowd is full of these dipshits, but how is the left doing in comparison?

    Radlib types are allergic to anything concerning hard power, preferring to squander Marxist analysis on literary critique of Marvel slop. Class reductionist types chant “no war but the class war” without having read a single text on how to effectively wage warfare. ML types only concern themselves with economic analysis, forgetting that there’s more to hard power than the economy. I see reading lists from ML orgs and few of them incorporate texts on revolutionary warfare. The only part of the left that is at least semi-serious about military matters are various anarchists, largely through the dissemination and study of COIN manuals. Too bad for various reasons, anarchists are suckered in by NATO narratives, but credit where credit is due, at least they realize that military matters is something worth studying.


  • In order to exercise control over those resources, they need to build an enormous amount of infrastructure that necessarily tramples Greenlandic autonomy. There is no existing legal mechanism for that without the consent of Greenlanders. Seizing the island through military or other means is how they do that.

    Or to be more blunt, the enormous amount of infrastructure cannot be build without the genocide of Greenlanders happening first, the exact reason why you have to completely cut down trees and bulldoze a field of wild plants before laying down concrete. I suspect this is the real reason why the annexation has to happen (assuming it actually happens). The US can more or less do everything already except for the genocide of Greenlanders because I don’t think even a vassal as servile as Denmark will look the other way while Danish citizens are being exterminated. But if those Danish citizens either de jure or de facto cease to hold Danish citizenship, then the US gets what it wants (extractive infrastructure/penal colony being build without an Indigenous population to fight back) and Denmark gets what it wants (saving face by having an excuse to avoid directly confronting the US ethnically cleansing a people holding Danish passports).

    The British did something similar to Chagos. The Indigenous Chagossians inhabited those islands, but the US wanted a naval base in the Indian Ocean, so what did the British do? They deported every single Chagossian from their native land, thereby ethnically cleansing those islands of their Indigenous population. All for the sake of building a naval base at Diego Garcia for the USians so that they can project power in the Indian Ocean.
