Interesting war gaming of the US China conflict

Revisado: 02-12-25

It is an interesting scenario: how a China US war would look like with today technologies.
To Bryan: what I don't like is repetion of phrases, like:

Replace them with:
How are you, Bob? asked Frank

Dispels some myth of engineering

Revisado: 05-14-23

using historical examples he shows the struggle that engineers had to give fast solutions with limited knowledge.
Some might think that he enters in political correctness, but he just pin points some blank spots created by not including a more diverse demographic in product design. For examples first bicycles we're created by men using their sizes, and women having different sizes, had difficulties to run men's bicycles

An analysis of US foreign policy in the '70

Revisado: 05-10-23

I didn't give 5 stars because the analysis of Vietnam era was tedious because of so many details.
It is interesting how personality of Kissinger influenced the US foreign policy. An unforgiven biography.
I make you wonder about his role in SE Asia: if he and Nixon didn't do anything there will be communism in Vietnam and Cambodia?
The trilateral with China would happen anyway because Mao weekend an approach with US.
The Saddat approach to Israel would happen anyway because the use services of Romanians to discuss with Israel.
The mess in Angola would happen anyway.
In Chile the coup supported by US changed the course of history.
Overall you see the impotence of an important man when he tries to tame the forces of history, and how his unconscious flaws have long lasting consequences on history.
