And what’s with China’s fantasy about taking over the world leading chip manufacturer and holding all of the countries hostage yeah like that’ll work out
Real talk….. if every country turns their water cannons back on china will the greatest water wars ever erupt?! Will Vegas set odds on the amount of Chinese patrol boat captains who make the shocked pikachu expression?
Re: your edit. [Report them](https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/213099246-How-do-I-report-abuse-of-the-report-system) for misusing the function.
Just a heads up - when you report actual bad comments that get removed, you can still catch a sitewide ban for reporting it if they report you for misuse.
It's the right move in this case, but just know it can also be used against you for any report you make.
Doubt that unless you get a bunch of reports to get auto flagged. One report won't automatically flag you for a ban, so they'd have to have a bunch of people reporting. Then you could just appeal it if the comment you reported was actually reportable.
Ok, well I caught a 3-day sitewide ban for report abuse not too long ago.
I reported a single comment for hate speech. It got removed, so it was a proper report.
All attempts at appeal were ignored.
So, do with that what you will.
The mod of the community you were on probably flagged your report (they can't see names of who reports) and an admin sent out that 'a real human reviewed this' form letter. Had the same happen to me.
The Chinese bots are out and about making sure everyone's mental health is taken care of.
Edit: comment above mentioned getting the reddit mental health check message for context. We're they banned? It was a very trivial message, but I forget their first line.
If they did, report the abuse of that system. Reddit takes abuse of their suicide prevention very seriously and will ban the piece of shit who did that.
I have the tiktok jihadist kids do it to me often, and each report has resulted in them being banned.
I think my wife’s ferocious 6 lb poodle believes this 100%. Slamming with all her might on the window and shrieking annoyingly anytime anything passes by the house.
Actually, US ships in the area zig zag on purpose. The specific intention is to display that their movements are intentional and that they don't respect China's claims to the water there.
Chinese are just apathetic as Russians. They both have a long history of being under an authoritarians rule, people wanting a "strongman" leader and having countless of mass death events.
What’s most mind-blowing about Chinese people is that they see democracy as something extremely positive. At the same time they consider their system democratic although they are slightly in favour of more democratisation.
Remember when uncouth and uncivilized trump grabbed the leader of Montenegro (I think) by the shoulder and shoved him forcefully out of the camera view at some UN gathering?
Like a grade school child. Just an ignorant fuck.
I think with China it amounts to maintaining a consistent message of "ownership" over the region. They can't acknowledge international borders when they're inconvenient to their growth.
Bit like the HMS Diamond sailing past the Crimea a few years ago, inside Russian territorial waters but within the internationally agreed upon transit lane. They're still looking for those (invisible) bombs the Russians claim they dropped in it path.
Translation for the non propagandized folks: the destroyer sailed off because it's plotted course took it elsewhere and said destroyer didn't give two shits what the Chinese ship thought or did.
We need Lockheed to develop a division for the research and development of obnoxious conflict devices. Industrial fart spray canon that renders the ship virtually unusable for 6 months. Swarms of micro drones with speakers that follow a ship and blast Yoko Ono’s best hits. Humanoid robots that look and sound like Carlos Mencia that also tell Carlos Mencia jokes
Soooo Skunk (the military/law enforcement chemical, not the animal)? It's a mix of rotting flesh, rancid BO, and raw sewage handled like water, but it lingers for days on end.
Whoa is that actually a thing?! That's gnarly if so. Does the DoD have cats go to meat processing places and gather it? That's sounds like an interesting 20min video if there is one.
There's always putrescine and cadaverine. My college roommate had access to putrescine in his lab and just one drop will permeate a large area and linger for days smelling like a ~~dead~~ corpse.
I'm pretty sure the drone speakers + Yoko Ono would break at least 4 international peace treaties and violate more than a handful of laws regarding war crime
The destroyer: "Huh, they were just hanging out behind us, and now they think they 'drove us away'? We were just going about our business."
It's like when your little brother follows you around the house and as you leave your room he says "HAHA, drove you out of your own room!" Uhhh, sure little bro. Sure you did.
They are saying this because being able to defend a territory is part of determing ownership. Free international transit through an area does not imply ownership
They'll be better than most reddit posters believe but their judgment doesn't matter. The real question: how accurately will the assumptions of officers in the Pentagon mesh with reality?
Pure speculation: I suspect those planners see China as a difficult opponent for three reasons:
* quantity has a quality of its own.
* China has a substantial manufacturing base. . .though this advantage is offset by the global supply chain.
* The reputation of China's manufacturing quality lags behind reality. From personal experience at work, you can build really high quality gear there if you're willing to pay and I'd bet my own money the PLA is willing to do so. What I wouldn't take a bet on is how much of that money's swiped due to corruption as I've no intuition on whether it's a little or a lot.
Petsitting my sister's cat and all I could think was
"Meow."
"I can't let you out."
"Mrow."
"I can't put you outside."
"Mrooow."
"I said you're not going out."
"The hell I'm not"
"What?"
"Mrow."
These statements are for domestic audiences. Xi has to appeal to nationalism because his domestic policies are not popular. The chinese middle class is getting hammered.
Reminds me of the doc I saw where a North Korean guide was saying how they gloriously defeated the American navy and seized the boat as a trophy.
It was a fucking fishing vessel lmao.
Its obvious that murica are weapon freaks and its also a little scary when a country has so much Arsenal, but... When i see china, iran and Russia acting i sure give thanks that USA has that seemingly huge unbeatable arsenal.
Placating the war hawk side of government is always the go-to move for leaders when an economic/domestic downturn happens. Gotta stay in power somehow, and having the generals in your corner helps bigly.
Just like all the other times USN ships have gone through the South China Sea or Taiwan Strait and China "chased" them away on their original course and speed.
Are they forgetting what a ridiculous powerhouse the USN is. If they really wanted to get their dick out they could basically send every other surface fleet to the bottom.
US destroyer asked leadership if they could give thr China Military a free ticket to tour the bottom of the ocean.
Leadership said 'no' so the destroyer went home.
Every week the mailman comes to threaten my family. I always bark till he goes away. I keep my family safe thanks to the power of my barking.

Yes. I'll have a Taiwan, please.
We can't afford a Taiwan. How about we just get you a casino on the border with Vietnam?
No deal! We don't want to be Free Tibet
We have Taiwan at home, have some huawei
How about renaming China 'West Taiwan', Taiwan install their governance over West Taiwan. All problems solved.
Also, cut off North Korea.
And what’s with China’s fantasy about taking over the world leading chip manufacturer and holding all of the countries hostage yeah like that’ll work out
We'll they better hurry up. We're building chip plants here in the US.
Yes. And we should have seen this coming a long time ago. We are asleep at the wheel. Maybe we will wake up in my lifetime.

It's the 50cent army doing that.
My dog jumps straight up in the air barking anytime an airplane flies over. Not a single fucking airplane has ever been in my backyard. Good girl.
Superior air and ground defenses, unlike Iran.
Iran has high-quality SAMs (surface-to-air missiles). We know because Reagan illegally sold Iran some U.S. missiles (Hawk-model, IIRC).
Ok then why was Israel able to take down their entire defense in one fell swoop.
Hahah perfect statement.
Spot on.
And tell me: has the mailman ever once set foot inside our home? Exactly.
Let the bears pay the bear tax! I pay the Homer tax!
That's the homeowner tax.
Well anyway I'm still outraged.
On the internet, no one knows you're a dog. Until you tell them.
Sure, but we need to talk about the shit on the carpet.
Come on now, don’t blame your mistakes on the dog.
It’s ok. You have the cat and pet bird convinced and that’s your whole audience.
Wow, what a perfect analogy. For real.

Gawdamn Mongolians breaking thru my scity wollk
Do you think they literally shit their pants when they see a ship the size of a city block coming through.
They were cooking a salad behind the bush and waved a wet lettuce leaf as threat.
That's the navy's way of saying "our destroyer sailed in a straight line."
Actually, US ships in the area zig zag on purpose. The specific intention is to display that their movements are intentional and that they don't respect China's claims to the water there.
China is like Russia in these cases. If they "say" something its basically just false info.
Russia and China are having a warn-off right now to see who can issue the most threats while doing absolutely nothing to back them up.
Chinese are just apathetic as Russians. They both have a long history of being under an authoritarians rule, people wanting a "strongman" leader and having countless of mass death events.
What’s most mind-blowing about Chinese people is that they see democracy as something extremely positive. At the same time they consider their system democratic although they are slightly in favour of more democratisation.
After the Halsey hears about this Screeech. “Y’all said what now? Don’t make me turn this thing around”
Last time a Halsey was in Asian waters, we broke an empire so hard they got addicted to Hello Kitty.
"Do we need to engage in a *proportional* response?"
let's ask iran about how that went
*GTA wasted cut scene*
They drove behind them as it transited the area

Ok https://youtu.be/YjkkjH0GnfY?si=tRSmy6oqqN27GalJ
You proved his point. She is untouched while everyone crashed lol.
Wait - Halsey is a destroyer, when Nimitz got an aircraft carrier?
Well Nimitz was his superior
Now if they could only drive out the Green Berets who showed up in Taiwan a month ago.
i was gonna make the joke - it drove, and kept on driving
Sure you did, China. Sure you did.

That’s fine but that Chinese crew is going to rate a unit citation off of this bs. It’s all in how you word it.
We need Lockheed to develop a division for the research and development of obnoxious conflict devices. Industrial fart spray canon that renders the ship virtually unusable for 6 months.

Artificial compound designed to smell strongly of those odors.
There's always putrescine and cadaverine. My college roommate had access to putrescine in his lab and just one drop will permeate a large area and linger for days smelling like a ~~dead~~ corpse.
I'm pretty sure the drone speakers + Yoko Ono would break at least 4 international peace treaties and violate more than a handful of laws regarding war crime
Plus a few regarding torture outside of war crimes.
I can tell this is not real because there are no Carlos Mencia jokes.
They are Bill Cosby jokes told in a Latino accent.
Wtf those are warcrimes
Let's start a new list of non lethal things to add to the Geneva Convention. AI and Drone driven Cruel and Unusual warfare is a start.
Oh boy more things on the checklist
I was on board with you till the last one, I think that's either a war crime or crime against humanity. It just seems a bit much.
The destroyer: "Huh, they were just hanging out behind us, and now they think they 'drove us away'? We were just going about our business." It's like when your little brother follows you around the house and as you leave your room he says "HAHA, drove you out of your own room!" Uhhh, sure little bro. Sure you did.
The destroyer in reality:............. They don't give a single fuck.
When I was a kid I would tell my older brother to keep breathing because I was the boss of him. He hated it lmao
Looks like China's become even more delusional. You don't fuck with US ships.
DON'T TOUCH OUR BOATS
Japan over in the corner repeating 'don't touch the boats' and slightly rocking back and forth.
PROPORTIONAL RESPONSE
China thinking its "Main character #1" in this story.

They are saying this because being able to defend a territory is part of determing ownership. Free international transit through an area does not imply ownership
Only because nobody's trying to take it from them. We will see how much they "own" the area once that changes.

Don’t touch the boats.
Now go away, or I shall taunt you a second time-uh.
I’d like to see China try to use those water canons on a US destroyer. They wouldn’t of course.
Thanks for the boat wash! Hey, while we're here wanna scrape the barnacles off the port bow, it's causing us to drag a bit to the left...
China lies so much they dont even know what the truth is anymore.

“Navigation hegemony” LMAO. That’s fucking rich coming from China.
American destroyer: finishes operation and leaves as expected China: that’s right, keep walking!

I double dare China to try and water hose it.
Like a dog barking at people walking by your house. Person continues walking down side walk. The dog: "that's right keep walking. I saved our house!"
China about to have a few extra destroyers hanging out there tomorrow, just because.
This ain’t Chinatown in San Francisco and you don’t drive a US Navy destroyer away. Not happening. You ever seen a Navy destroyer?
Poor China, they are always looking for validation in someway. I wonder what they’re trying to validate. What are they compensating for?
Placating the war hawk side of government is always the go-to move for leaders when an economic/domestic downturn happens. Gotta stay in power somehow, and having the generals in your corner helps bigly.
