There's definitely more to this statement than a coronavirus. Tuberculosis has a much higher mortality rate than this, having already killed more people this year, but even though we take it very seriously you don't see Congress declaring a war against it.

He called it right on the war, but not on the true enemy. If this virus had been launched into the US by muslim terrorists, America would by now be mopping up the few survivors. But this virus came from China. China suppressed and lied about the virus as it spread in their population, then they released it upon the world. Anyone who thinks China wouldn't do such an evil should think again.

For its own protection, the West must decouple from China and take it out of the supply chain. Allowing them into the WTO did not civilize them as had been thought, it just made them richer. Now this enemy is waging war.

The repeated use of the term "we, or America, is at war" is being used because Martial Law is necessary to do an end-run around Governors who are actively trying to destroy the economy. These asshats need to be tethered because they will stop at nothing to hurt Trump and hurt those that support him (that's a lot of people by now!) and give Socialism the best possible chance going forward.

What we are in is the middle of a Pandemic and we are taking overly cautious preventative measures to keep it in check. At the expense of liberty and luxury. We have already found a very viable and available drug to counteract the threat.

Now, WE ARE AT WAR with a Goddamned industry that's been left unchecked since the founding of our nation and its time to get serious about who can be called a News Source and who is purely out there for INFO-TAINMENT purposes. Label the companies as such and assert some God Damned control over assholes who profit off of screaming fire in the Movie Theater.

Dumbshits like this that want to equate this kind of situation with a war need to consider stepping down. This kind of rhetoric contributes nothing to the fucking situation and is god-damned lame.
