BRUH I feel like I'm losing my god damn mind over here just fucking screaming into the void I want to go back to blissful stupid ignorance where I'm not aware of the absolutely FUCKED state of the world currently jesus christ
:cia: :big-cool: When you engineer a bioweapon to destroy China but it backfires and destroys your empire instead because you spent the last 70 years propagandizing your citizens to believe they were invincible while China gets over it in a couple of months with some common sense containment measures
If anyone has any more sources on this please post them in the comments.
Napoleon should unironically have fled to Mexico and ended the whole horrible continent once and for all. I'd give it 3 months from him landing with 50 Old Guard to him accepting the surrender of Quebec.
Napoleon flees Thermidor in '94 because he was friends with Robespierre's brother, ends up in Haiti, teams up with L'Ouverture for the ultimate Haiti 1-Tag run.
Riiiight, "considered".
It's not like the US hasn't been actively trying to tank China's agriculture and ecology for years with this sort of shit. Never mind the mysterious parcels of invasive species.
allow me to highlight this comment:
This is clear evidence of biological terrorism. Every since Trump's trade war, China suffered unusual increase biological disasters in agriculture.
2018-02 : H7N4 bird flu. Sickened at least 1,600 people in China and killed more than 600. Many chickens killed. China needs to purchase US poultry products.
2018-06 : H7N9 bird flu. Many chickens killed. China needs to purchase US poultry products.
2018-08 : African swine flu outbreak. Millions of pigs killed. China needs to purchase US pork products.
2019-05 : massive infestation of army worms in 14 province-level regions in China, which destroy most food crops. Quickly spread to more than 8,500 hectares of China's grain production. They produce astonishing numbers of eggs. China needs to purchase US agricultural products — corn, soybeans.
2020-01 : China is hit by a highly pathogenic strain of bird flu in Hunan province. Many chickens died, many others killed. China needs to purchase US poultry products.
I'm not sure this is necessarily as conclusive as the commenter says, but it raises questions for sure

Here is more stuff related to the war on agriculture:

Good pull, thanks. I would have done it, but I was asleep. :sleepi:
Jesus ballsacking Christ, of course. :ypg-brace: :liz-society:
EDIT: So now I'm rabbit-holing on the EcoHealth Alliance shit........there goes my night.
EDIT 2: I wondered if there were any mainstream outlets covering this, it was released 2 days ago. First news outlet covering is according to google is RT, then a bunch of unheard of independent sites, my favorite literally being notmainstreamnews.us
EDIT 3: A few choice bits from EcoHealth Alliance wikipedia
"As a subcontractor of the EHA, at least 600 thousand dollars of NIH grant money was provided in 2014 to the Wuhan Institute of Virology to pursue sequencing and sampling work of coronaviruses in rural regions of southern China."
"EcoHealth Alliance's funding comes mostly from U.S. federal agencies such as the Department of Defense, Department of Homeland Security, and U.S. Agency for International Development"
Nah, they're totally cool and good.
so did China fuck up by allowing US State Department actors to conduct such research in the Wuhan lab?
No idea, but I've got like 20 tabs open looking at the leadership of EHA and their histories, this whole thing is melting my brain so I have to keep digging.
It matches too well, it assigns blame to one particular organization, it just seems very convenient
I was thinking about doing a replay of the original Deus Ex game... but I'mma read this slop instead. :snom:
It was ultimately rejected over safety concerns.
I mean it never happened so
How many projects have officially been shelved, only to carry on in some quieter form?
