One reason China’s not ‘amused’ could be that this was never intended to be a joke in the first place.

Sorry boys, the days of panty-waist Presidents in the USA are rapidly coming to a close.

Rubio is going to vote against Rex. Likely McCain and Linda will too. DJT better have some dem votes lined up.

Next up John Bolton. I liked him better anyway

One guy in the article says this was akin to pouring gasoline on a fire. In the NEXT sentence, he says it’s America’s fault that China got this far because we did nothing!!

Do I fear a war? I won’t lie, yes. But we are facing a war because of what we DIDN’T DO the past 8 years!!

I never want American military personnel to face war, and there IS always the very small possibility of someone launching a nuke.

But the long term outlook dictates that we must confront them now on this issue.

Sorry China, there’s a new sheriff about to be sworn in and he’s bringing new deputies with him. Lawlessness & bullying will no longer be overlooked.

Screw Bolton! It’s Rex or he’ll go left. Mark my words, Trump is not stupid. Moreover, he doesn’t actually have to listen at all to the SOS. It’s beneficial that Trump have who he wants because that person will actual have his ear. Try and force someone onto him and he’ll just shut him out. Screw these globalist! I can’t believe the Democrats want someone like Bolton, Trump may want to hold him out as a threat to get them to vote for Rex

If there is a potential war McCain is for it, his defense industry buddies make money that way.

If you back down from a bully, he will continue to confront you because you are an easy target.

To bad what you think China...you found a ‘patsy’ in our last pResident, not in the one coming in...you know how he plays ball, you have dealt with him on your housing in his buildings, and you know what your up against...

We, the American People in the United States ran this election, WE voted in who WE wanted as our leader, and you and your funky ways and your crap will no longer be needed to Make America Great Again...

They owe him. Single-handedly he destroyed very expensive aircraft and damaged more carriers than just about any other soldier in the war. That equipment had to be replaced at quite substantial costs.

Geez is everyone here gung ho for a war with China? I find this troubling as there is no real US interest being threatened in this situation. I had hoped that Trump would tamp down the efforts of the war party to incite conflict all over the globe.

“Short of going to war with China, there is nothing the Americans can do.”

What a stupid statement.

Yeah, but he’s for ANY war!! That greedy old SOB!!!

Tangling with Russia makes NO sense.

Drawing a REAL line with China does.

But you’re right. The guy that takes pictures with the “moderates” in Syria NEVER MET a war he didn’t LOVE.

I don’t know if it’s just money or he’s insane.

They say he wasn’t all there BEFORE being a POW

I honestly don’t see a direct threat, i can get worse vibes of some other enemy infiltrating the Mexican government instead, installing a muslim president and putting nuclear devices near our southern border.

The Red Chinese are accustomed to dealing with liberals. Now they have to deal with patriots and have their panties in a twist?

Pass the pop corn Won Hung-lo!

John Bolton is a neocon war monger. Trump can bypass the Senate to nominate Rex
