Well, howdy there, internet people. Let's bow again. So today we are going to talk about

China and the United States and how narratives are shaping up and how the influence game is being played and how things will start to

alter your perception of the way things are. And we're going to do this because we got a message and I know why this is taking place.

I've noticed in your videos you talk about Russia's military failures in Ukraine as a comparison of the United States military.

You don't make comparisons to China.

They seem more capable and even a little scary.

Well, I mean, objectively, the Chinese military is way more capable than Russia's,

presumably. We don't actually know because we haven't really seen them in large-scale operations for real.

But I would bet just about anything that yes, they are far more capable.

There's also the perception game being played. China, just like the United States, puts out information to make their military seem more capable and even a little

scary. It's an influence game. Psychological operations, that kind of thing.

One that just came out that is getting a lot of attention is a,

I mean you can call it a documentary,

called Chasing Dreams. And it has come out and it's largely

focused on how China would go after Taiwan. The premise is to make the Chinese military seem as effective as

humanly possible and much like that post from the commander of the VDB, they included some things that are

military mindset and, you know, tough guy stuff for the military military but when you really think about it

not necessarily the best in the world. As an example a quote from the documentary

if war broke out and the conditions were too difficult to safely remove the naval minds in actual combat,

we would use our own bodies to clear a safe pathway for our forces.

Talking about a landing force.

I mean, yeah, that sounds cool.
