The comment in your post #12 (Free Traitors™ and gloBULList got us into this situation. I hope all of them shut the hell up.) is what I wasn’t clear on.
Nothing’s wrong with what you said about China trade. Not in my opinion anyway.
I was just saying the fallout that could result from nuclear or conventional conflict could easily get out of control with China, Russia or even Iran joining in the fun. Japan, SoKorea and Southeast Asia are all vulnerable as well.
I understand it needs to be taken care of now. Decades of a foolhardy Congress was content to kick that can down the road. Now everyone must face the music, and there are precious few options.
Bottom line is that war is hell, no matter who is right or wrong, and its apparent inevitability makes me nervous.
Do it now so my kids and grand kids don’t have to worry about the stupid DPRK.
