They have no long-term beef with the USA
On the contrary, they have a 2000+ year hatred with the Chinese
For what major damage odumbo and his ilk have done to our military, it would be wise for the U.S. to stay out of ANY war.
There are other ways to avoid such conflicts and one of the ways is to stop purchasing Chinese made products. (Guess that would not be too good for Walmart).
Another thing we could do is stop selling any/all of our scrap iron to them, re-cycled steel makes great ship, buildings and weapons.
