Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Summary

Satellite images suggest China is developing a massive nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, potentially matching the size and capabilities of U.S. supercarriers, analysts told NBC News.

The ship, possibly the Type 004, appears to feature four electromagnetic catapults for launching fighter jets, a design shift from China's current fleet.

Experts say this move aligns with China's goal of building a "blue-water navy" to rival the U.S.

While Beijing has not confirmed the project, U.S. officials view China's military expansion as a strategic challenge in the Indo-Pacific.

It's still worth something in the Middle East, just in case they want to give out "freedom" again.
