Idk, I’m just saying that we shouldn’t underestimate China. If we underestimate them, they can beat our asses, if we overestimate them and it turns out they weren’t as powerful then their ass gets beaten. It’s definitely better to not be confident on a victory
Oh, I agree with that. My point is more that it won’t be economically or diplomatically that they’ll be able to contend. It will come down to force, if it comes down to anything.
Not necessarily. I wouldn’t place any bets on it being long or short. It could be a near-instant KO, or it could be a years-long grind, albeit in the latter case it would either be because the US declined to directly intervene, or because China accepted being put under permanent blockade as the cost of doing war.

Yeah, but it will be a long struggle, that’s what I’m saying
