to bite us on our collective arse. All those things that were supposed to happen because of Brexit (disruption to supply chains, medicine shortages, etc) are happening because of Coronavirus instead.
Ironic, really.
The Black Death came out of China. As time is just a dimension, this proves that it's their karma for later invading Tibet. We should have nothing more to do with them.
Nixon going to China undid at a stroke all the hard work we'd put into the development of the Western system under UK then US leadership.
Yank shareholders got higher dividends for a generation by outsourcing, and now we in the west can look forward to a future similar to the Tibetans.
The British created this world order over 3 centuries and then handed it to the Yanks after WW2, and within 30 years, they'd taken the decision to unravel it all, simply to make their shareholders a bit richer for a couple of decades. Idiot race, they really are.
No. The Black Death came out of Mongolia. It's endemic to marmots there. Indeed, some Mongolians died of it after somewhat rashly eating marmots just a few years ago.
I know my Black Death shít, gg. I'm grimly fascinated by it.
And the really idiot move was admitting China to the WTO. That fúcked everything.
It hasn't yet. Nobody likes to talk about it, but different diseases do have different effects on different races. For instance, HIV is much more easily communicable among sub-Saharan Africans than Europeans - they think due to sub-Saharan Africa not having had the Black Death.
Entirely possible that this may manifest more seriously among Asians than other races.
I agree 100%. The Opium Wars were great. In the 1790s, we sent a mission headed by Lord Macartney to get them to open up for trade.
We pointed out that all the silver coming from the Spanish American mines was ending up in their hands due to us buying tea. And that they should really buy some of our manufactures that their upper middle classes wanted, such as clocks, as this would allow the trade to keep circulating and everyone to get richer.

But the economically-illiterate Tibet invading scum refused, as they thought it was more economically productive if all that silver sat in their vaults doing nothing. This is why we had to start flogging them opium to get the silver we needed to buy the tea.
They talk about their century of humiliation. When will they admit that they were wrong? That if we'd done it their way, then all global trade would have ground to a halt, with silver only being used twice on its journey from Latin America to China as opposed to circulating in the economy making us all richer.
Backward race. They owe us an apology.
