Whomstvnt?

and after a total of like....50 years (so by like...1900-1915), they had a more powerful Navy than China

Ok

@livid_scrooge

Hahahaahahahahahahahhahahhaahahahah, no. I’m asexual

Asexuality is a mental illness

No science to back that up

Science isn't required

Try again sweetie

Only my word.

Asexuality isn't the normal state of a human or animal

therefore, mental illness

Again, no science

animals have an innate desire to fuck and procreate

I’m off my break, so goodbye!

(it's literally hardwired into them)

>break
>like 2 minutes

Jesus, where are you, China?

It was 30

lore - btw talking about the japan-china thing made me thing about the rome-carthage thing... where rome had literally no navy... and carthage had the largest navy in the med... in a period of 2 years (After stealing a ship from carthage) rome took the fuck over

Yeah

It really depends on how determined a country is to advance

and if they can skip the r&d part and go straight to production (as japan did... as rome did)

Japan for example, saw Perry's expedition and was like "Sumimasen nani the fuck, we need to become that powerful or else we're not gonna be a major player in the world" IIRC

@Windleaf Ah man, I wish my dentist was a big-tittied woman

Lore - as another example, how long did it take the us to get to its current level of drone technology... since ww1.... so 100+ years... isis is only like 30 years behind right now after 10 years....

Modern times call for Modern Solutions, essentially
