We don’t need more weapons. We also don’t have real adversaries, that’s war propaganda.

You have to be completely insane to think China is not an adversary.

Personally, I think we are in WW3 right now and we have already lost.

Americans are just too lazy and insular to read anything involving Chinese military strategy. I can't think of more basic Chinese military strategy than to avoid a head-on battle with a strong enemy.

You beat the strong enemy by every means other than a head-on battle.

We are waiting for another battle of Normandy that will never come as we slowly bleed out.

You have to be completely insane, or so deep in propaganda you are about to drink the cool-aid and ascend to the next life, to think you are currently at war with China.

Yet so many Americans really do believe that China is the boogey man de jour, out to steal their freedom.

How many armed conflicts or foreign coups has China started or supported in the past 50 years? What about America? How many people has China executed with drone strikes in the past 15 years? And America?

It's absolute madness that people are buying into this war-mongering FUD.
