CCP may be desperate enough to start a war to save itself

[JoeB131]

And the Falkland Islanders have the strongest claim, and they want to remain part of Great Britian.

Okay. Then they should defend the Islands themselves with no help or support.

That'll solve the problem.

Nope, they are dependency of the British.

It's funny you are such a supporter of invasion in this case.

Or pathetic.

A lot of Brits thought the war was pointless and a waste of resources.

Roger Waters did an elegant takedown in "The Final Cut", which is probably Pink Floyd's most underrated album.

LOL, a musician.

Argentina invaded, and got kicked out. The Islanders got what they wanted back.

Xi is being squeezed by the trump tariffs

Could an invasion of Taiwan be the chicoms next move?

Its a common tactic of dictatorships under pressure

When you get your “news” from parochial right wing memes on social media, this is the kind of pointless, uninformed ranting you get.

It’s a shame we don’t have a president looking out for our traditional allies!

Or when you let uninformed airheads on MSNBC or NPR supply your “facts” for you, well, it aint pretty

I’ve only heard her say one thing that was not also presented by other sources coming out of china

And that is the question of the true population of china

She puts it far, far below the official number released by the CCP of 1.4 billion

I rate that as unconfirmed at this time

Otherwise her reporting is spot on

Who do you have in mind for that honor?

 

[22lcidw]

I hope not.

Trump would in a heart beat.

I know Progs love China. However, the United States has funded its own demise. China will eventually get Taiwan. Japan and South Korea though are the wild cards. Even though there is some history of aggression between China, Korea and Japan, they would make a formidable alliance against the Western world. Asia has great potential and are not nearly into themselves as many Westerners are. They are disciplined and have done capitalism better than us. Southeast Asia and Indonesia are natural areas of expansion for them also. Most with growing manufacturing capabilities to sell to the world and enrich themselves as they slowly take control of the planet.

And how did China get the money to invest almost $2 Trillion in the military the past few decades?????????

Where did that money come from?

From dumping the U.S. markets with slave labor made products and we didn't charge tariffs because investor elites wanted in on that action.
People like George Soros, Mark Cuban, Jeff Bezos, The Walton Family and every large investment house, every multi-$million investor.
They have won and won and won with no tariff/tiny tariff slave made products - while the middle class got hosed with losing higher paid jobs. And China took $trillions of the money they made and built their military with it.
We are the stupidest people on planet Earth.

Yes, the US had very stupid economic policy toward communist china from the 1990’s up to 2016 when trump took office

We dont have a Wayback machine to change what happened before but we do control what we do now

Not as long as Democrats are cheering for China because they hate Trump more

ABT

 

[whitehall]

Surely Russia couldn't have been pressured by old Joe to invade Ukraine. It's likely the opposite where dictatorships take advantage of a weak president. We don't have to worry about that with Trump but the left worries about everything these days.

 

[Mac-7]

ABT

Who?

 

[konradv]

Who?

On first

My goodness! Who could have foreseen that a tariff war would escalate!

I wonder what it will take for the cult to finally, finally, finally realize Trump is an idiot.

You're the one who believes and promotes airheads.

She is not "coming out of China" as you assume.

You don't even know who she is. Yet you assign credibility to her.

And you have no real basis for evaluating what she said, because you don't know anything about China or trade policy.

I have no idea whether what she says is accurate or not. But I don't know who she is, either.

And, unlike you, I don't get (much less promote) "news" from people I never heard of or know nothing about.

You do it all the time.

 

[g5000]

Friends of America don't have tariffs on Americans and Americans don't have tariffs on their friends.

I guess you haven't been paying attention to the news lately, or the news you do watch is keeping you deliberately ignorant.

Trump is doing all he can to alienate our friends. He's picking up where he left off the first time he was in the White House.

He is in a tariff war with our friends, and they are retaliating. It just isn't as large scale as our tariff war with China, but its a war nonetheless.

Are you aware Trump raised tariffs on 23 countries we have a trade SURPLUS with?

You say "we" don't have tariffs on our friends?

Well, Trump does!

Its a bit like when the US refused to sell oil to Imperial Japan prior to Pearl Harbor

The difference is this time the president is refusing to buy from china instead of sell to them

In neither case does it justify an attack on America
