Dunno, ask Laz, he seems to know all the dirtbags and lowlife around here

That's what happens when you are the King of Dirtbags and Lowlifes.

Burn the world to the ground and rule the ashes.

It even has bi-partisan support in congress and the senate.

"Long before Pearl Harbor the Japanese sank an American gunboat in China. Nothing happened."
Several years later but before Pearl Harbor, America Army Air Corps volunteers in P-40s shooting down Japanese Bombers and fighters over China might have had something to do with the Panay incident.

You keep on proving your mental illness. How come you haven’t come to visit in Alberta? Myself and other infantry vets are very anxious to hear all your wisdom.

Joking aside. You’re a mentally disabled midget. Nothing you say here will be taken seriously by any real American or Canadian. As EEgator says, I’ll repeat in my own words. I hope you’re at ground zero when it hits.

I’d love to go visit that guy, but likely he’d brown his pants up when he sees a 6’2 perpetually angry infantry vet marching towards him lol. He spouts such nosnense that it warrants a correction.

This administration and its hangers-on are entirely too eager to fight a war with a country that has 6,000 nukes (that we know of).

Most of the warmongering is done by men that were never in harm’s way.

I was never in harm’s way, but I’m no warmonger.
I could have strained my eyes with all those monitors in my USAF duty…
I could have crashed my car staring at women on A1A in Cocoa Beach too.

Hummm. According to Wiki the Panay incident was in December 1937. The Flying Tigers were started in April 1941. If that’s correct the events shouldn’t be connected. I thought that the US’ actions like cutting off oil to Japan might have had some impact causing the Panay incident, but that apparently happened in 1941 and was a major decision driver for Japan to attack Pearl Harbor.

But the more I learn about history the more I realize that what I learned in school was almost always from the ten-thousand-foot view and almost never covered what was really going on behind the scenes. I was taught, for example, that the entire cause of WWI was the assasination of the Archduke. (Not even close.)

Just speculating here, the Chinese war was really pushed by a group of junior officers who wanted to create a face problem forcing the Japanese government to attack China. (The railroad bombing incident.) I can easily imagine some junior lieutenant deciding a US gunboat was an excellent target and his orders be damned.

The recent balloon fiasco where China launched a spy balloon over the US just prior to a major government to government meeting might have also been some minor official thinking he was following “Xi’s thoughts.” Similar to Mao’s Little Red Book Xi has a book that’s required reading by all Chinese. It talks about how every Chinese must be ready to sacrifice himself for the good of the party. If we end up with a shooting incident it could very easily be some overzealous, not too bright corvette captain.

Qualified and accepted for the secret boys of no public knowledge, but then I turned down and got married instead like a tard. We did run point quite a few times for the Delta lads etc. Delta lads and Rangers are great. Seals have no respect from myself or my guys.

Kinzinger hungers for the ‘old days’ when democrat and ‘intelligence’ goons buttered him and Liz up nonstop... Ahh to be the hero in his own movie once again...

He’s an idiot.
