JasonJ Posted July 7, 2020 Author Share Posted July 7, 2020 The Three Gorges Dam looks ready to collapse, this could be bad, really bad. But it is about what I expect under communism. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/07/chinas-huge-three-gorges-dam-now-displaced-fears-dam-may-burst-due-pressure-recent-flooding-400-million-risk/Thanks for the link!

JasonJ Posted July 7, 2020 Author Share Posted July 7, 2020 It's on the Gateway Pundit, so for Murph, it's true.They have been accurate over 90+ % of the time, so take it or leave it. Alternative Facts are a hell of a drug. ... No alternative facts worth mentioning about the CCP maybe? This thread is about China! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, and I explained how the stitching of individual photos on Google Maps often leads to features like bridges, roads or in this case, dams, appearing "wobbly". I'm pretty sure that the Three Gorges Dam does, in fact, still stand in a straight line. However, if you want to keep chasing the Murph clown car, go ahead.

Take your trolling to a democrat or Trump thread. Oh please, "direct personal hit", spare me the hyperbole. Murph posted some bullshit story from a bullshit outlet, and I called him out for it, like I do with everyone else. There is no personal vendetta. I even called out Stuart for posting bullshit once. Even if he is a fellow comrade, as some here would probably believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"It's on the Gateway Pundit, so for Murph, it's true." ..was unnecessary to make a point that the distorted images of the dam were possibly inaccurate. But is your defense for your vendetta all you have to add to the thread now after its been dormant for some time? How about instead of posting your worthless vendetta bullshit spreading poisonous activity into other threads, enlighten us about things regarding China or the Asia-Pacific? Surely that is a bigger matter than your trolling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think anyone sane wants to see a dam break, but everyone getting their panties in the knot over it is utterly pointless. It will break or it will not, and it is up the Chinese to deal with it. Your/mine/anyone else's opinion is just that, opinion w/o any weight in practice.So why get all upset over it?

It would be a massive humanitarian problem. Even if a domestic engineering failure, the scale would warrent an interest from neighboring countries to offer some degree of aid or support, even if just the degree of a token of verbal support. Geopolitical competition doesn't have to prohibit voice of expression of support. The PRC of course would be in the position to accept or refuse any token of international support. That would be their call, not yours (Mr. who doesn't live in the region). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last time a Chinese dam broke, it was by the Nationalist Chinese in 1938, to try and stop the advance of the IJA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasonJ Posted July 8, 2020 Author Share Posted July 8, 2020 Actually no I disagree. It would be a massive humanitarian problem... "Would someone think of the children"Of course the world is rather complex and interwoven even among the way headlines and general military defense postures are being taken up. Among a number of cities along the Yangzte river is Wuhan. They were of course hit very hard from the virus. They are having major flood issues right now. If the dam breaks, then Wuhan is gonna be hammered again. There a some Japanese car company manufacture centers there. At a more local capacity, I would thing the Japanese doing business there would feel compelled to express to show some empathy to their business local area, despite all the geopolitics going on.
