And so it begins...

[Dr. Thorne]

Would China be so stupid as to create an international incident that could put them at war with Japan, Taiwan, India and the US at the same time? Doubtful.

Slow Joe on a leash, China Mitch.

The path is clear.

[Gay State Conservative]

Gee...I wonder if this announcement has anything to do with news developments of the last couple of days?

[Army Air Corps]

Unless they smell weakness.

Slow Joe would make Jimmy Carter look like Genghis Khan.

Chinese are arrogant, narcissistic and demonic.

They think they are destined to rule all the inferior races of the globe including us.

People who raise dogs and cats in cages and eat them, along with bats, rats and mice tend to get a little odd sometimes. Not exactly vegan diet.

China will be patrolling off Alaska before you know it.

[Seruzawa]

DemonRATs are the definition of weakness. Unless it’s using govt force on their own population. Then they are quite “brave”.

Don't be silly. Their new ally the USSA under the Zuo Bai Deng puppet regime will be on their side against Japan, Taiwan, and India.

China has the next virus ready to go. 50-70% mortality.
Get in their way and no vaccine for you.

[Starboard]

LOL! Sad but very true.

The worst part is our allies will become former allies. They can sense the weakness too, and the sudden increase in their own vulnerability.

Weakness invites aggression. Always has, always will.

If Harris wins, then yes they will absolutely begin their open world domination plans. Harris will simply side with them.

They should go for it. Japan will kick their ass. And President Trump will become a war-time president, with nothing to lose.

If they do, they can count on the MSM-Democrats to blame it on Trump.

[DownInFlames]

Japan will now have to rearm and w nukes.

"Weakness invites aggression. Always has, always will."

Words to live by. America has has it's days of strength and days of weakness. Think which times America excelled and was the world power.

[Starboard]

Notice how much more peaceful the world got under Trump’s strength and resolve.

We are about to see a stark contrast with increasing tensions around the world and challenges to our own position, or what’s left of it.

Most clashes are just that - clashes. Remember the Panay? The Mayaguez? The Pueblo? When they plant a flag on Japanese soil and fire upon Japanese vessels that attempt to remove it - that’s when the Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and Security between the United States and Japan is activated, and the festivities begin.

Thing is - in the old days, the penalty for losing a war was territorial loss. Does anyone really have the appetite to carve out a chunk of China? Even Iraq escaped its invasion of Kuwait without territorial loss. Basically, the disincentives for aggressive war are not what they used to be.
