In 1938, almost every country had the upper hand over the US, but we sure ramped up quickly.

Push comes to shove, China gets nuked back into the 12th century and we lose a few blue cities. And the rest of the world starves.

...and don’t doubt they’ve notified Resident Bid*n about this should he try to intervene in their affairs.

It’s not the “first fight” that wins the war. It’s the one who prevails.

They have more spies at the university, corporate, gov’t, CIA and R&D levels, than Bayer has aspirin. We’re thoroughly infiltrated and compromised.

Why is the fight in China? Why not China attacking the US on our turf? I’m tired of being the road team.

This is ol’ Joe’s cue to just roll over and play the coward.

Taiwan will be gone soon.

There will be a massacre in Hong Kong.

Jeez, the map looks like Japan’s takings in WWII.

And, unlike FDR, ol’ Joe will just let it happen with no response.

Can Japan and Australia be far behind?

China would never be pulling this shit if President Trump were in charge.

Never.

If the US had not had the 2-ocean navy program & the draft — both adopted prior to American involvement — there would not have been forces that could simultaneously land troops in French North Africa and push the Japanese out of the Solomon Islands in 1942. I’m not certain that the war would have played out the way it did. The peace-time draft passed by a single-vote.

It will be a short war and China will lose. No one will side with China. All of Asia will oppose them. Not only that, every Chinese military person killed will be an only child. The nation will rebel.

That may be but we demonstrate what is possible first. Advancing technology first is far more expensive, the CCP will copy & steal.

Remember they are a nuclear power. Is LA worth Taiwan?

Why would China attack Mexico's biggest city in a war against us? LA is safe.

“Remember they are a nuclear power. Is LA worth Taiwan?”

There are people on FR who do not believe any country would use their nukes. I believe any country that has nukes, when faced with losing a war on their own soil, will use them.

In 1988 I bought my first Toyota pickup truck. It was not called the Tacoma back then because they only made one pickup model.
In 1999 I bought my second Toyota pick up.
I did not trade in the 1988.
I advertised it locally.

I had two different guys who called and the first question they asked was: “will it pass inspection?” I said: of course it will. The first guy said, ok have a nice day.
When the second guy asked the same question, I asked why? He stated that he bought old Datsuns/Nissans and Toyota trucks and shipped them overseas. He shipped his to Central America. He stated that he could fit four into a container and sell them for about $4000 down there. He would buy them in the US for $1000. He also said that others guys sent them to Asia.

A couple years go by and the USA invades Afghanistan. What are all those Taliban dudes driving around? Old Toyota and Datsun pick up trucks with a machine gun in the back.
So, I made myself a bumper sticker on Zazzle.

Toyota Tacoma
Official Vehicle of the Taliban

I stuck it on the rear bumper of my 1999 Tacoma.

Taiwan is viewed as part of China.

Starting with Nixon we have been playing a rather dangerous game.

PRC may not want to use nukes, but they will if pressed.

And I would bet that their nukes are being maintained.
