In reply to the discussion: Chinese invasion of Taiwan 'imminent,' warns US [View all]walkingman
(9,300 posts)in our government. It would be insanity to get in a confrontation with China over Taiwan.
I worry that might not be the case. In my lifetime, US foreign policy has been terrible and although we don't seem to have problem thumping our chest about our military strength, our track record over the last 75 years has been dismal and caused unbelievable death and carnage as we engaged in proxy wars with countries that posed little or no danger to us or our homeland.
That would not be the case with China or a 21st century WW.
It's one thing to play tough guy but it is an entirely different matter if you are directly affected. We have not had a conflict in since the Civil War that directly affected our homeland and I worry that the leadership we now have does not have the intelligence or experience to know how to effectively deal with such a situation.
So the stupid motherfucker (Hegseth) needs to STFU and lay off the Jack Daniels before his mouth overloads his ass.
