CHINA WAR INEVITABLE...SOONER THAN LATER

Fig
First off, they don't invent or create anything. They live in a crushing surveillance state that considers them a resource and an asset like oil or timber. There is no respect for human life except at a personal level. They are still communists who believe The State is god, and the people exist to worship it.

You have to ask yourself - what exactly is this “Freedom of Navigation” that people talk about?

Like in almost every “conflict” we’ve been in during modern times - what on earth are white folks’ naval vessels doing in Asian waters?

Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea are all vassal territories of America - little discussion needed there if one’s familiar with their history.

The Philippines is an interesting outlier because they’re worse than that - they’re more closely comparable to a “Banana Republic.” They used to have pretty good relations with China over the disputed islands - there used to be an unwritten agreement between the Philippines (previous administrations) and China for joint development and “kicking the can down the road” as far as sovereignty was concerned (meaning, maybe we’ll be too prosperous from mutual trade to seriously care about these islands in the future). It’s difficult for them to substantiate any claims over the territory as they didn’t exist as a country and thus lacked any formalized written language documenting such until a few hundreds of years ago - whereas the Chinese predate them by thousands of years.

The Philippines’ largest trading partner is China. They are a country which is largely dependent on Xiaomi, OPPO, Vivo, Realme, and OnePlus phones for mobile connectivity and can barely afford Samsungs or iPhones. It was once the top exporter of Bananas, Mangoes, and Durians to SEAsia but lost out due to their inability to maintain a proper cold chain, much less appropriate quality control. Their higher - tier (manufacturing) exports are entirely foreign subsidiaries, and their private sector is trying to emulate the American “service - based” economy instead.

The Filipinos are under the impression that they’re in the middle of a great, patriotic struggle of sovereignty (the South China Sea is now the “West Philippine Sea,” from their rhetoric) when in fact they’re just another little Ukraine - the big difference is, they’re prostating themselves practically for free. Indonesia has burned, blown up, or outright sunk 92 Filipino fishing vessels for illegal fishing in disputed waters since 2014 - but we don’t hear the Filipinos contesting any EEZ rules over such. Guess why.

Among all of the ASEAN countries, that territory just fails to present itself as a serious argument.

Freedom of navigation is why there is modern medicine and electricity in the third world. To understand what freedom of navigation means you only have to go back to early America to find examples of how eliminating piracy far away from our shores and establishing international rules on the high seas lifted humanity out of the mud. Great Brittan before us was the only territorial marshal in the no man's land, and their global trade and colonialism started it. It's probably the greatest gift the white man ever gave the world. Before that the only safe travel depended on how many shields and spear men were on board.


Even though we run a trade deficit (which I don't think it good), we make over two trillion in trade every year. If you don't think loosing two trillion dollars would hurt our economy, then you are as oblivious to economics as you are to history, and why safe travel on the high seas is so critically important, and why a bully trying to take the established territory of a weaker neighbor can't be tolerated on the seas.

Yea, in a distant land we can say it isn't our problem, because they actually can't get here. The water is all connected. If it isn't free and safe with the rules being followed over there it is literally on our doorstep. The USN has been power projection since the beginning of the 20th century, and if we loose that it is a leap into the next dark age. This isn't renaming a gulf. This is the Chicoms trying to control the entrance to Subic
Bay.

China has, in it's party propaganda papers and "news" has, essentially unofficially, declared war on us already. Lots of the reasons we defend international law is to prevent an adversary from seizing forward bases and depots. If Imperial Japan had followed up The Pearl Harbor attack with an invasion and we were deprived Hawaii to fight from WWII may have gone a very different way.

Thanks for sharing.

I don't really see anything in there that suggests systemic issues, but not surprised to read some isolated reports of issues. Sounds like DD was on top of their CS in every case, which is always comforting.

Suppressors - first round impact shift

Got my first suppressor recently, Diligent Defense Enticer LTi, direct threaded on a Weatherby Vanguard (Howa 1500) 18" 7mm-08 for hunting. Seems to group fine for a light hunting rifle with Barnes 120 TTSX (10 shot group ~1.5 MOA off sandbags), no stringing or anything weird, but I noticed...

Hi Jeff,
Got in the office this morning and tried to track down details. Looks like over the years we have had tons of email exchanges, and you are a long-time customer.
Looks like between 6-21 and 7-22 you and the office exchanged about 8 emails about the LRH stock that took a hard sided impact. On 8-4 looks like there was email asking for a stock update on three other orders, I did not see an email back to you. Office should have followed up with, they did not it is getting addressed today. They did how ever put those three on fast track on the 8-8 and should be good to go end of next week. I will have office reach out to you on those today i think one was a lefty. The return LRH stock for service repair got logged into the shop 8-13, hit the mill room on 8-15 and got back into the finish the same day. I got hands on today, it is looking great, the fill material and the seam at the very tip of the stock was repaired and still carries a 100% lifetime warranty. Like we do on all stocks that make their way back to us, it will get a complete refinish and should be able to get out of here this Friday. I was able to find that you had left a voicemail on 8-18 at 1230 and one on 8-19 at 430. The office did not return your voice mail yet from the 8-18 voicemail.

Guys like always we because of your support we are slammed, especially with the new projects that we have been pushing thru production, we actually have a new hunting stock that will be released next week that is amazing. The office should be getting back to everyone with in 48 hours if you do not get response, please DM me here on the hide, it might take me a day to get back or call the office and tell them you need to speak to me direct, I will get back to you asap. Thank you

Help Diagnose Issue with Rifle System

For those of you suggesting suppressor @Ramem7mm @HandgunHTR @Laelkhunter , why do you think it would only just now become an issue? My reasoning is that with QD mounts, if there is some sort of obstruction on the threads or mounting surface, you could have some misalignment. Maybe not enough...

Ever wanted superpowers? Because this is how you get superpowers!

I am more worried about residual chemicals and non-composted manures spread as "fertilizer" or sterilized sewage, than bugs. Mushroom medium is gonna end up with some maggots. Same goes for some vegetables that spoil along the way. Bugs is natural, we gonna be eating them in a few years anyway. 🤣🤣🤣

I once saw a lady drop her package of strawberries on the ground then throw it away. I thought it was stupid because they came off the ground.

Then I am in my office at an odd hour one day and in comes the exterminator spraying poison on the floor. He walks right up and sprays the ground on either side of me along the edges of my desk.

If you don't controll it, you never know.
