In a perverse way I want a shooting war with China so we can end this silly and damaging trade with that communist country once and for all. Also, it will be fair game to hunt down all globalist free traders, like the vermin they really are. Are you listening WSJ?

This will start with Navies. It will end dark and cold.

For them and not us. Traitor and a coward, quit a combination you got going there.

Taiwan is the best place to vacation. People love Americans as they hate the chinese. I have a shirt that says on the back, in Manderin, “china” with and X through in and below “TAIWAN FOREVER”. I get free food, free taxi rides and lots of pats on the back.

The country is so clean, even the train stations are spotless. No one litters. Trains on time to the minute. Enough speak english I have no trouble getting around. At the train station I just point out a place on the map and they write down the ticket price. The sights are wonderful-see Moon Lake pic above- food is cheap-2qt bowl of beef noodles for about 50 cents. We had a lady chase us down 3 blocks because we forgot to pick up our 30 cents change. Good massages for $18 US for 90 minutes. Don’t forget the Tiachung Park. (Lions Club park) Drink bottled water or Taiwan beer. See the Sea Shell museums (look that up online now) San Zhi temple- one of many. Horribly crowded but you feel safe everywhere.

Oh if you are on a train and do not know where to get off. Show someone the ticket. They will hold up-example 3 fingers meaning 3rd stop- then tell you when you get there. Small town friendly atmosphere overall.

The problem with Taiwan is the have an average import tariff of 8% and we only have a 1% tariff on their goods coming into the USA. If they want us to protect them they SHOULD DROP THEIR TARIFFS NOW!

“...at all costs...”

That means they are committed to having all of their Chinese Steel on the bottom of the Taiwan Strait and S. China Sea.

It also means their disputed island bases are annihilated.

Likewise, just inform China that the United States views any ships passing between Hawaii and California as a breech of our sovereignty.

Between my 3rd and 4th year at USNA I did a language study trip to Taiwan in coordination with their Naval Academy.

Thanks for a super easy plebe year, '89.

Says the man who longs for the day of having slaves now his lawn.

How is an objective view of our strength cowardice or treason? Please explain it to me. I want to know how engaging in a shooting war with the biggest population on earth is a good idea?

You think they cannot shut off your lights and heat? Well, you probably don’t have heat in your double wide, but I am speaking for the rest of us.

I cannot wait to hear about how we will just “nuke ‘em.”

Our Navy will crush them and they will not use nukes. That is a red herring. Plus, like I said, if we go hot with ChiComs people like you Free Traitors™ will have your day of reckoning. Win - Win.

That’s some fine reasoning there. Who couldn’t agree with that position?

PS: You need to worry because your ChiCom buds are likely to start this. You can run buy you can’t hide.
