Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

if nukes were flying toward Russia through Chinese territory the yanks could just pinky-promise to China they're for Russia and they'd keep theirs away?

Given China's extreme confidence in "peaceful" "collaboration" shit there is a non-zero chance they'd believe this. They would give exactly the same reason people give here today "oh why should we involve our 1.4 billion people in a nuclear war in Europe?"

In any case whether we agree on this or not, first and foremost you're aware that US nukes would fly over the north pole not Asia?

You're right about everything else, these people suck and they're idiots.

the US nukes sub in the pacific, if they got involved, would be launched in the pacific. "Territory" was an awkward word to use because it's well beyond any country's actual borders where they'd be concerned and threatened by missiles with trajectories that look like they could hit them. say a missile headed toward Vladivostok will look like it could hit a lot of shit in northern China, whichever direction it comes from
