“Dont be so sure. In their last go around, Charlie held his own. They are ancient enemies.”
You’re correct...’79 wasn’t it?
Actually, the conflicts btwn the two go back more than 2,000 years before either country was known by its current name. The two have been at war for all that time save perhaps 100 years total.
The Communists are already in control of every branch of the US government except the military....And, they're getting close to getting it too.
Is this how WW3 starts??
Such a dilemma. Which side of this do the Communists in Washington D.C. support?
Oh well...
Yeah, I can see that going over like the proverbial lead balloon.
I hope they shoot the cr*p out of each other.
I hope it goes on for years, though it certainly will not.
In fact these two have fought something like 9 or 10 wars with each other —ancient rivals.
We have a popcorn emergency on our hands.
Probably upset with the trade problems. Viet Nam is making all of our clothes now instead of China.
Has this been reported in the Compost, else, dumBO will not know.
They are ramping it up.
Have they held it?
The island crises with PI or VN are interesting, but the one that would almost certainly involved the USN directly would be the Senkaku Islands, claimed by China, Japan and Taiwan.
China could not take and also hold one of all Senkaku Island(s) without also holding one or all of the Japanese Yaeyama Islands, which are uncontested, closer to Taiwan and have 7 good airfields.
Yes. China still has it. They are building on it.
The Philippines doesn’t like it because China is building on the reef.
