And did I mention that no other country in the world actually LIKES China because of their evil government? They have no real allies. None. Whereas, in spite of how much tension we sometimes have with European and other nations all over the world, the USA will be flush with friends who will come to our aid if push comes to shove. Plan on that. The United States is the child of the world, the child of all these countries, the light of freedom and the country of heroes. We are loved in spite of what it seems like right now.

But they have no emotional connection to China. It's just business. When it's just business, a lot less likely to risk a lot to help.

Honestly, I really don't even think China WANTS a real war with the United States. They make a big chunk of their money off of us. If we are destroyed, who buys all their cheap ass products and keeps their factories humming? I think they're always willing to do us dirty, steal from us, and release lab created viruses to wreck our economy and affect our elections, but a hot war? With them leading it? I think not.

That's exactly the point of the Byrne article. China is winning a non-kinetic war with the U.S., one that will sap our population and allow them to take de facto control of our farmland, with no shots fired.

Are you completely crazy??? Nobody "likes" anybody in international politics, it's all might makes right.

Are you stupid? Politicians and political groups are made up of HUMANS with emotions. Humans DO like certain people and countries and it's pretty fucking obvious.

I hate to break the news to you that being "liked" means less than zero in Realpolitik.

No actually sharing cultural heritage and roots is pretty important in the world of politics and does affect decisions made by politicians every single day. We share those cultural roots with Europe, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and frankly, many of the Central and South American countries would side with us over China any day of the week, and as much as we bitch about Mexican border crossers, our two countries are very tied together and they're definitely going to help us in a conflict. Bet on it.

You are completely daft. China is making huge inroads in the Caribbean and Canada and Latin America via its investments. You have the most naive view of how international relations really work I have ever read on a comment board. Are you a hippie in Taos, or what exactly.

If I'm so daft then stop talking to me. You're insulting and rude and I'm bored with your bullshit. I probably know more about all these Chinese strategies than you do. I already know about China's dealings in the Caribbean and Canada and Latin America and you forgot to mention Africa and even Israel. Just fuck off with your fear. I'm fucking tired of defeatist cowards and you really sound like one. I was one of the first people on social media during the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax to point out it was China that was our true threat. That doesn't mean I have to cower in my boots and promote their intimidation tactics by creating fear on the Donald Trump forum. I have faith in myself and I have faith in Americans. If you don't, then fucking give up then and become a commie.

Which is why the UK and Five Eyes tried to demolish DJT.

And there were pro-Trump rallies in JAPAN.

Hello, if you're going to conflate MI6 with the English, then you might as well conflate the scumbag traitors currently occupying Washington, DC and the likes of John Brennan and James Comey with all the MAGA people on this forum and all the real patriots in office.
