Of course, the heads of state of three waring powers in 1914 were first cousins, so there is that.
My SIL is finally trying to address the estrangement that has stopped me from having a relationship with my brother for the past 3+ years, despite that they have lived ~20 miles from me for about the last 2 1/2. So yeah, family drama probably doesn't help in those situations.

Aw yes. 

Your brother gave you an atomic wedgie at a family function. Now his wife has convinced him to allow you to administer a swirlie as retribution. But you are unwilling to settle for anything less than the dreaded rear admiral. 

Seen it a million times.

Yeah, but it's a moot point. We've discussed how reticent countries in Europe or the Australia/New Zealand folks are to allow Americans to immigrate. You think those planets are going to take in Earthlings? What do we have to offer?
Ya know I've thought about that,and right/wrong they may have a point.But they weren't to hesitant in 1914 or '41 to look us up.So let them cheer if we commit suicide,they have to ask themselves who'll be standing in Russia/China's way should they get surley?They can bullshit themselves if they they think Putin or the CCP have their best intentions in mind

China is playing the long game, and winning.

Their Leadership thinks generationally, dynastically-- while the rest of us scurry around like ants at a picnic.

well, if that's the case, why are they pumping more CO2 into the air and more garbage into the ocean than any other leadership?

the world won't be a suitable place to live by the time they own it.

It gives them an economic advantage obviously.  They claim the "West" had this advantage for a century or more so they need it now to compensate.

I think they figure the environmental damage won't be all that bad, and if it is, it won't hurt them as much as it will more developed societies.

I don't think this is a "Chinese hoax", but it is in their interest to push the concept obviously, whatever they actually believe.

well, they don't seem to have the same respect for human life or empathy for individuals, certainly not for Europeans or Americans

probably don't care too much at all if the sea level raises 20 feet - find higher ground
