Just keep on whistling past the grave yard. You are just like many status-quo-addicted Brits, French and Americans during the 1930s. In total denial. And I am a "drastic warmonger," like Churchill. Good day!
I am a Churchill Warmonger. You are an hysteric. Winston was anything BUT an hysteric. China has been unable to do anything about a rogue province located 100 miles off its shore for over fifty years. They can threaten us in no way but nuclear. For now, MAD means that they won't. Eventually, it will mean that they can't. But if worrying matters of no consequence is what gets you out of bed in the morning, more power to you.
