I’m not. I was sarcastically pointing out the increasing difficulties facing Neocon foreign policy.
If I understand correctly, China is going to invade Taiwan, kill thousands of people, destroy territory and infrastructure all so they can “reunify” China.
China can easily wait another 20 years and continue to expand its military capabilities while America continues to decay. Time is on their side.
Thanks to Free Trade and offshoring the USA is now the “Warehouse of Democracy” instead of the “Arsenal of Democracy”.
“Beijing’s ‘reunification’ plan for Taiwan ‘on fast development track’, NPC deputy says”
This is China’s answer to our claim that they were responsible for the Virus. I suspect that China will have more answers for us, when our Defense Contractors start trying to order raw materials and piece parts to replace the $100B or so worth of hardware that we dumped in Ukraine.
This practice by nations of aggressive war has got to end. It’s too dangerous to our survival. We see what a botch the Russians have made in Ukraine.

I think they will GO very soon.
Biden will stand back and issue Harshly worded memos.
The UN and neighbors will call for action, and wait for US to intervene. And when we don’t they will not act.
I think they feel they need to act NOW, and have it OVER by the time the next Pres is in.
Their only real fear is that Taiwan could hold out long enough for a new president that is willing to act and the neighbors joining in.
So, I expect that China’s action will be MASSIVE.
I think they are looking at Ukraine and taking notes.
Why do you play with labels? Are you an American?
On this one, I hope and fear you are wrong. If China attacks Taiwan, they will likely be in a hot war with the United States, Japan and Australia.
It isn’t going to end it can only be deterred.
Regardless all the silly talk about neocon Biden who wants to march into Moscow;
They aren’t planning to attack Taiwan because Biden is a warrior.
They are going to attack because they believe he is weak and compromised.
And the attack will involve some direct, at least electronic, actions against our forces.
Are the Chinese evil and insane? Oh yes they are.
I'm not so sure. I think the CCP will eventually end up on the ash heap of history for the same reasons that the Soviet Union did. There is little room for innovation in their system and their expertise is in copying technology. The one child policy where boys only were chosen has proven disastrous. They have an aging population and will be surpassed this year by India as the most populous country. They have only succeeded because they have been aided and abetted by those in this country who sold us out for a profit from slave labor. I think China is wanting to fast track the reunification not just because they see the US weak with Biden at the helm, but also because they can see that right now they are close to their zenith both economically and militarily. The only question to me is whether the ash heap that they are confined to is just theirs or they plan on taking the rest of the world with them.
Good time to go for it, given the current state of our ammo stocks... Dammed chinese got a good plan working...
Get a bunch of europeans shooting at each other (their natural state anyway) have your adversary arm one of the sides and keep a close count on how much of what is no longer in inventory. When the numbers give you a clear maximum losses possible number that is lower than your limit, you pull the trigger. Commies are good at the sort of math.
“..Our Military is an absolute dumpster fire of epic proportions....”
Yep. Recruitment numbers are waaaaay down, and all they’re getting is “lipstick and high heels” right now.
The “white boy warrior class” is NOT signing up, instead they’re staying within the general population....armed to the teeth, too.
The “perfumed princes” will probably try to entice the illegals to sign up, but there’s no fight in them either. If there were, they’d been fighting for their own homelands, instead of sponging off of ours.
Elections have consequences. Stolen elections have HUGE consequences.
In my opinion this is just face-saving talk from the CCP. They can’t afford to conquer Taiwan, if they can, because a combination of sanctions, boycotts, and a blockade of oil going through the Straits of Malacca would destroy their economy. So they will have to wait for a better opportunity, if it ever comes, or permission from DC.
Which neighbors? Japan has been neutered by the U.S. South Korea's focus is on North Korea. The Philippines and Vietnam aren't going to war for Taiwan. And Australia is half owned by China.
???
Are you an American?
Of course. A natural born citizen.
Is it unAmerican to criticize Neocons? Or to call them Neocons?
No. Evil, perhaps. Insane, hardly.
They're not castrating their young men, opening their borders to non-Chinese, paying compensation to rioters, allowing shop lifting, destroying their energy independence, or putting women and trannies in charge of their military and police.
The “leader” of our nation is neither respected nor feared.
