@AJ0942548836154@RPMComo@LucaMitchell200 Bc you sound like an American who doesn't understand soccer. The defenders are defending their square or box much like the zone defense in basketball.
@TheoVon You're an absolute fag dude. You blame the elites, aka Democrats, rather than the Republicans and the manosphere, who all promoted war mongering. You eviscerated Biden for ending a forever war in Afghanistan and give Bush/Cheney a free pass for starting them. You're just a fag
@elonmusk How idiotic. If you pay a sales tax, you should vote? Undocumented people pay sales taxes everytime they buy something. Are you arguing for their enfranchisement?
@shashj Johnson doesn't know what he is talking about. This is neither modernization nor slow readiness. This is about power and survival. Zhang is aligned with Hu Jintau. Both oppose Xi and his agenda. Both have deep support within the PLA, and within the political elites.
@drlsmittal@WarMonitor3 You view this linearly. Xi had already disrupted promotions. He had/has bypassed the PLAs promotion norms to put in place his command staff. He merely used Zhang as the imprimatur. Zhang knew the PLA is not ready for offensive ops, and he was sidelined.
@TheresaAFallon A more nuanced observation is not that Zhang became too powerful. It's because he was opposed to using the PLA offensively to invade Taiwan. He understood that it would unravel China and the gains of the past 30yrs.
