    … you’re supposed to cut access to those shortly before the war, to cause maximum headaches. If there’s a war actually soon, then they picked the dumbest timing they possibly could. The west is in a state of partially mobilized war production, in an effort to supply Ukraine.

    And US soldiers are not involved in any foreign wars for the first time in awhile. That lowers our threshold for hitting an America-fuck-yea moment significantly.

      China isn’t going to declare war on the US. All their manufacturing profits come from US buyers. Both sides would suffer drastically before a single shot was fired.

        We never ordered them to defend themselves. Get your Russian bs out of here.

        They’re defending their country willingly against a foreign agressor, so how can you justify a statement like that?

        The foreign material aid they’re receiving are things they’ve both asked for and sorely need.
