I correct myself - Tariff implementation and execution was a mistake.

The tariffs were a big mistake.

The body count was not low. And it was unprovoked attack on US state. If the same ships were doing freedom of navigation between manchuria and japan and the japanese sunk them, without too many US casualties do you think that the reaction would have been the same?
China doesn't want japan, if they want korea they just have to wait, so the only possible hot war is over taiwan.

On the other, I think technological edges are much more likely to matter in sea combat than in land combat
But the war in china will be naval combat for US and land combat for them.
Now, it is quite hard to sink a super carrier
I think this notion will be challenged at some point. Fairly sure that things are more fragile than expected.
Shoot them at the leg is different. If there was strong castle doctrine, killing them would be the best option.
Dealing with another country military is a bit more like trying to kill a made man. Scaring them away is usually the better approach unless you are prepared to wipe their entire organization away.

China showing that they can bitch slap US naval power, but choosing not to inflict massive casualties is absolutely good for china. You can destroy as much material as you like and as long as the body count is low it will be shrugged.

Western military might is impressive but fragile. Show that you have the capability to sink carriers and US is contained for a couple of years. You don't even have to sink them - 4000 bodies make peace negotiations hard.

Or the USG could inflate their debts away. That is the thing everyone misses on purpose. They can mint a single 1 quadrillion USD platinum coin and just put it into the account of the treasury. It will cover all of their obligations.

You'd have to eat like, a pound of chicken thighs to get that far. That's a lot of meat...
It is hard to not get 100g of protein in 2500 calories if you stay away from junk.
And for pound of meat being a lot - I expect you will have a culture shock if you go to the Balkans, Caucasus or Latin America.

The best Warhammer books are Ciaphas Cain. Now Sandy Mitchell is just marginally better author than brandon sanderson*, but his books have no right being this much pulpy fun.
*For anyone doubting Brandon Sanderson is harder to read than Joyce I present you the part of Rhythm of War that is between the front and the back cover.

get recursive self-improvement
I only see the exponential one. Where do you see recursion? Or why do you think it is needed?

The police do a bad job solving crime, therefore the purpose of the police must be to tolerate crime, no matter what you gullible starry-eyed idealists who take the police’s story at face value might think!
Didn't we had literally that in many places during peak defund the police times?

Jews reached a feeling invincibility, and got arrogant, and entitled
That is the just the nature of the activist class (especially leftist) in the west. Not sure there is something specifically jewish about it. The ADL are obnoxious crybullies, but they are still less obnoxious crybullies than SPLC or trans activists. Or Kandi.
Can you give some examples of the rest?

I think you misunderstood - the op was talking about changing character. The losses and wins of the Russian Empire didn't change its character. The october revolution did.
And something changed in the early 70s. It is slow moving and was interrupted by the peace dividend of the 90s. But it is changing.

The rise of antisemitism in the last couple of years is amazing. More and more I see "my favorite Austrian painter" and similar edginess online. And the left is even worse. Not really unsurprising - the youngest person that can claim to have coherent memories of the holocaust is what - 85? And calling everything and everyone Nazi and Holocaust has diluted quite a bit the brand. On the right doesn't seem to have too much sincere bloodlust though - but probably a lot of people will fiddle while the synagogue burns.

I would say that if talking mathemathics - the f(USA) was smooth until the summer of love and then there was a breaking point.

And Moscow 2042 is also a Russian masterpiece but both are absent from the list. Also the funniest book I have read at a point in my life.

Patent is to disclose. It will just revert to trade secrets. But patents are a joke anyway today - you rarely can reproduce a patent just from the information in the patent. So there is no public benefit from them

Do you know who was Saddam's ally in the Iran Iraq war?
I would suggest to create 3 rings for the old money Wasps, then 7 for the blacks and asians, 9 for other whites and hispanics then one golden for the president.
