    Considering the CCP can’t arrest Americans but the US government can, it makes no sense to be more afraid of china on a personal level.

      And that is exactly what the Ukrainians thought about Russia. These are all actions intended to gain an edge to enable a potential future conflict. They are acting like it. We should too. War in the South China Sea is something everyone should be afraid of.

          Very American of you. Americans felt the same way about the Japanese until 1941. Then it was about control of the newly important resource of oil.

              Not only is that factually false with them invading Alaska, it’s like you’re saying that you’d be okay with another world war because we would win in the end. I would personally prefer to deter one which this effort is a part of.

                I’d be OK with another World War against Russia, sure. They can’t even beat Ukraine lol

                China will not engage in war with the US because it would obliterate their economy.

                  People said the same thing about Russia. Politics play a massive part.

                  I’m not sure I can respect the argument if someone who’s play with a world war as long as they can access a single social media site. You obviously are expecting to not be the one fighting it.

                    Russia is similarly not a threat to the US. I agree with the people who said that.

                    I won’t be fighting said war, but my son almost certainly would. I feel confident that it won’t happen and more than he’ll get eaten by a bear next time we go camping.

                    Some fears aren’t worth entertaining.
