Probably a fair point.

But again, I have little knowledge. Are these floods wiping out 10% of their Ag lands? 50%? 100%?


Stuff from late July says ~20% is heavily impacted and probably not coming back. Could be more now. That's no small potatoes.

The CCP is keeping a tight lid on agricultural production figures, but this article provides a lot of indicators to gauge the extent of the damage in broad terms. Keep in mind the article is from the first week of August and says the damage it is reporting is probably understated--and that is before the typhoon hit and caused even more flooding thru the rest of this month.

If every lake in Texas was dry, the volume of water flowing through the Three Gorges Dam could fill them all up in 7 days.

Just a common side effect of communism.

But, they have no ammo shortages, free healthcare, and no worries about college costs or sports being cancelled. Lucky *******s.

On a positive note, if we had enough Aggies high enough in the Politburo in DC, we could rig the conference and win in football.

That's the way it always works in socialist/communist countries. Party members who rank high enough, get what they want.

I think our anti-free will Dems (I know--it's redundant) would be on board. Unity for everyone!

We wouldn't have any freedom or liberty, and the Dems would inflict their way of life on everyone, but we'd be national champs! There's something positive in everything---and no more professors arrested for espionage. On the contrary, they would get promotions.

Maybe they could ship us their overflow during the next drought?

Looking at the bright side, I have heard it reported many times that their rivers are very polluted. All this rain will give their rivers a good flushing!
Or, maybe not? I imagine a lot of s hit is getting swept into their rivers and emptying into the sea. That wouldn't be a good thing.

And flush it where?

That's the million dollar question. They had a giant pork shortage before all this because of their pig disease. This flooding didn't make anything better.

Man that's insane. Whether or not that is from today, I pray for the innocent citizens of that corrupt and selfish government.

Since it appears to be snowing....I would say not from recent time-frame.

The way the water is rising and the lack of debris, vegetation and muddy water - I would suspect that this is footage of a tsunami after an earthquake.

But, what do I know ?

Wonder where that is because they weren't speaking Mandarin nor Cantonese.

I don't know if it's legit or not but it looks like snowflakes falling in front of the camera and the people look like they are dressed for winter.

This is probably (probably) Japanese tsunami footage.

Didn't quite sound Japanese to me but I'm no expert. Watched it again and you're right it probably is footage from Japan.

freaked me for a minute, but that is definitely pretty intense video that i never saw in the tsunami video....

didnt have sound on and no street signs so you cant tell the language, but i presume it is indeed tsunami video...

Sir, I am not familiar with missiles but I am curious. How many missiles are needed to completely destroy the Three Gorges Dam?

Appreciate a response. Thank u
With the pressure on it now, I think a well placed rock would do it.

EDIT: Taking down the video. Didn't realize the dog's name.

Google "Dam Busters - Trailer" by contributor 05HK09 if you want to see it. Not going to jeopardize TexAgs because of a British war movie.
