Don’t worry about it the Chinese generals will call general Miley before any invasion!

[jeremywingate]

Yep and the more woke our country goes the less of a chance we have to fight off a threat to our country. So remember that when attacking each other and wanting to keep weakening our military.

[thankgoogle]

The US is supposed to be too scared to stand up and busy fighting amongst overselves over petty partisan games our lawmakers are playing.

Sounds to me like China can just take Taiwan like it wants to... And there isn't much the US can really do at the moment. We better start being able to make our own small feature integrated circuits pretty fast or China will have the only way of doing what TSMC does.

Afghanistan was your first defeat let that be a rehearsal every other Wars going to be exactly the same retreat hint hint pick up a book why don't you

LMFAO 🤡 FJB
'When all else FAILS they bring you to WAR'

[estebansteverincon]

None of this makes sense like it didn't make sense during the Cuban missile crisis: nuclear winter will devastate the initiator as well as the victim. It's absolutely irrational.

Heavenly Father please help The Poor people that look to Jesus of Nazareth your Son for strength to help bare each other’s burdens and patiently wait for you to come back to rescue your Church bridal company of overcomes believers who watch and pray without ceasing in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth Amen 🙏

I hope this is not true. I hope we are better prepared than that to deal with the threat. An old general warned us many generations ago about dealing with China way before they got to this point and he was reprimanded.

[cloudburst]

Nostradamus predicted this its just a matter of time..

[linhai]

Why doesn't China support the human rights of BLM and Native America the way US supports Taiwan and Uighurs?

[souvikdas]

Well, we have Emma. She has two moms.

And so the deal is done China gets Tiawan: decision was made long ago. Too many variables if we didn't say yes. Lawyers abound in Congress asking if we have the legal right to intervene. Public opinion regarding body bags just won't fly politically speaking and what special interests do we have there anyhow? are some of the variables. China on the other hand has a unsustainable economic future if they go to war, but since the got the nod why not play it up as the "victors over American voyeurism" in the Asian Arena.
