    let me preface this by saying I hate the direction the U.S. government has taken (both in general and more as of late), but

    [looks over at China]

    Well, not yet they don’t, I guess. But hey, 2026 isn’t even half over yet, we still got time to get this world war started proper.

      This keeps coming up. Go Google search the last time China used military force to get something done.

      Eventually you have to realize the only people who see potential war everywhere are Americans.

        China is the fourth largest producer of arms now and sells weapons to war torn regions. Giving China the benefit of the doubt when they are now cranking out more billionaires than the US is a ship that sailed a long time ago.

        Trumplethinskin, just like Pooh bear, has designs on neighboring countries. Mr. Pooh himself, “Taiwan independence is the chief culprit in undermining peace in the Taiwan Strait - we will absolutely not tolerate or condone it.” Yeah, something an imperialist would say, reminiscemt of Russia and Ukraine.

        Refusal to recognize Taiwan’s unique culture and self-determination is just another nail in a very large coffin of Chinese Imperialism. While I do applaud them for not directly engaging in military conflict there is little reason to when they can control them politically much in the same way the US controls Mexico or Canada.

      Sorry, I think they meant they don’t bomb countries in the material world that actually exists. In the speculative fantasy world that exists in your head, I’m sure they do all kinds of absolutely horrible things.

      In fact, I think it’s high time that the imaginary world places imaginary sanctions on imaginary China.

        Oh, you’d like to talk about horrible things that China is already doing now, not just making preparations to do? Sure thing, friend. Where would you like to start?

          Oh wow, you’re all the way into the organ harvesting stuff, that’s deep in the propaganda lore.

          You know Falun Gong claims that the reason China is supposedly harvesting their organs is because they claim their organs have mystical powers? Do you believe that too, or is China just doing it because of some generic comic book supervillain motivations?
