OK it’s an incursion after we engage in shock and awe. Before? Let the Chinamen go in and do our work.

The Chinese have an unpredictable powder keg on their border.

China is simply preparing for refugees at the border.

Hawaii, otoh, is prepping their people for a nuclear attack.

In short, everyone one knows his target is us.

No,
the last thing the chi-coms want is for us to get in a pissing contest where we, the U.S.A. quits purchasing their worthless crap.
Too many folks to have a serious economic downturn.
Time for another Boxer Rebellion.

Here Are 5 Ways the Unthinkable Could Happen: A Nuclear War

There are paths to nuclear war that rely on the most durable source of war there is: human stupidity. If the major powers don’t bumble into a nuclear war, or get dragged into one by their friends, they can always just choose to launch one themselves.

During the Cold War, NATO’s strategy was actually quite simple. We can’t defeat you, we told the Soviets, and so if you invade Western Europe, you will be placing us in a position where we will have no choice but to repel you with battlefield nuclear weapons. You Soviets, having been nuked, will have no choice but to respond, at which point the U.S., Britain (and maybe even France) will turn the USSR into glass, even as you will do the same to us. So let’s not take that fateful step, because the first rifle fired in Wurzburg will inexorably lead to the last missile that falls on Vladivostok.

North Korea threatens ‘merciless blow’ to US as data shows Moscow aiding regime
Russian exports to North Korea essentially doubled in the first five months of 2017, according to new data.
Some experts suggest Moscow will continue to use North Korea as a lever point to extract concessions from Washington on Syria, Ukraine and other issues.
In response to U.S. official embracing regime change in North Korea, a Pyongyang official vowed Tuesday to “strike a merciless blow at the heart of the U.S. with our powerful nuclear hammer.”

How things have changed.

That was then. Now we are indeed America Alone, as Steyn wrote.

“If you’re going to make me place bets on where I think the U.S. and China would first get into a conflict, it’s not Taiwan, the South China Sea or the East China Sea: I think it’s the Korean Peninsula,” he said.

China's going to be between a rock and a hard place if they're not careful...
