Warfare more likely, yes.

Warfare that escapes well defined theaters of operation, no.

I suspect eventually, every country will give up a small amount of border land for total anti-invasion defense, and the only countries that will start wars are the ones too stupid to understand that they can't invade their neighbors anymore.

Japanese people are also east Asians, and the use of masks as a measure against respiratory diseases has been common in Japan since the 1918 'flu. I may have missed some major event, but I don't think that Japan has a communist government (although I do recognise that the word has a somewhat *ahem* different meaning in the USA to the rest of the world).

China is NOT a free nation. When Xi says to do something, all of the businesses and many of the citizens do EXACTLY what he says ( amazing what a bullet to the head of citizens will do for an authoritarian ).
This is why western companies are being destroyed by CHina and when the west fights back, then China simply denies them sales in their nation, while at the same time, dumping on foreign markets to destroy their sales there.

And yet, idiots will continue to say the same thing as the paid chinese astroturfers/trolls say. Sad.

Comment Should focus on non-recyclables (Score 0) 43

Seriously, this should have a focus on plastics that are NOT easily or even today, recyclable. Things like HPDE is fine. Why? Recyclable. And then we have ABS which is not recyclable, but is ideal for such long-lived things as sewage lines.

This really comes down to use and how recyclable something is.
Even now, I am disgusted that in Seattle, they are saying to NOT recycle aluminum foil that has grease/food on it. Well, that can only mean that the approach for recycling is a horribly cheap one, which likely means that it is going offshore, likely to China. Instead, we should require that ALL trash, recyclables remain within our nation and that we must deal with it correctly.

The Soviets did not have a first strike policy. What policies russia has or hasn't is up to a senile dictator, because unlike the USSR with its one party dictatorship with dozens of decision-makers, russia has a straight top-down chain of command where loyalty to one single person is the only thing that counts.
