Are you stupid? Name the new wars Trump has gotten us into? China respects strength and Trump is pulling a Sun Tzu on them right now and they got nothing to counter it with. China has relied on decades and decades of corrupt greedy no balls government officials to get them to where they are now. Trump just stopped all that by simply standing up to them and saying No, not anymore. China can't win a military conflict since most of their bordering nations hate their fucking guts. China tries to light off a war with the US then they will be at war with japan and india and taiwan at minimum. That's a pure horror story for them and why they are freaking out. They expected hillary to win and further degrade out military until they were a toothless paper tiger then they could take over the south china sea and taiwan and the parts of northern india they want for the farmland. All tossed out the door and their 2050 agenda of being the sole economic and military power in the world burning in a trashcan. There are many ways to make a nation do what you want that doesn't include grunts on the ground being bullet sponges.

You can't have it both ways.

I advocate standing up to China and you pile on like it's a bad idea.

And then proceed to tell me how to take em out??

News flash: china is responsible for killing Americans. Let the retribution begin. I don't give a flying fuck about china or it's people. Glass it.

How is it both ways? The Art of War is that you can threaten force but never have to use it because the enemy knows they would be screwed if they actually fought. Sticking most of your nations battle fleet a days cruise from firing range on most of china's critical infrastructure and military is a pretty big fuck you Xi try something pussy and get wasted move. We have china exactly where we need them to be on a geopolitical stance and not a single troop has been killed over it. It used to be the way we rolled until post ww2 when the military complex refused to be shut down and we had to keep getting in wars to satisfy its endless need for tax money. Look up Roosevelt's great white fleet for context. YOU are still thinking in terms of direct military confrontation when history shows that's typically the least effective means of getting nations to bend to your will. Trump understands that. Hopefully you will too.

I guess citizens being killed means nothing to you? Completely avoided the topic. But okay.

Citizens get killed every day for a hundred different reasons. So far the deadly violence has been localized to only the protests and hasn't become wide spread with only a handful losing their lives. Right now pouring out guns blazing will only give the D's ammo to whip their own side into a hot civil war which only hurts us and Trump's chances at actual reform. The very last thing we need right now is open civil conflict and this seems to be what you are wanting. It wasn't the answer before and it's not the answer now.
