China vs Japan = the end of the “Free Trade” fiasco. The only good outcome.

IMO, an attack by China on Japan would quickly escalate into a war with Japan, Vietnam and the Philippines on one side, China on the other. Separately, the Norks may try to take out the south too. It would be the wrong war at the wrong time in the wrong place for the US to get involved yet it would have no choice...we could not stand by having our military over run in Japan and Korea not even with the Pharaoh in charge here.

The problem is it would expose our depleted military to not many choices in tactics. A land war is completely out of the question. Redeploying our Navy would expose them to potential devastating loses too. The potential for a rapid escalation to nukes is clear. Perhaps that is why Pharaoh is reducing our nuke inventory so much again. In his mind, many nukes big problem, fewer nukes less problems, and finally no nukes no problems...than he can say we are not getting involved at all. I am just glad I don't live on Taiwan....ah, the newly to be named Formosa.

The thing to always remember about China, they don’t NEED anything from any other country.

Because they don’t care if their people starve.
