Lmao no japanese soldier set foot on the continent of north America dude
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.
One of the things that best prevents a conflict is deterrence. That is what this is. By not deterring, you make conflict more likely. It is absolutely worth entertaining and we do all the time. That is why you have such confidence that it won’t happen. They are not a threat because we actively deter them from becoming one.
Banning TikTok is not a deterrent. Having a big navy is a deterrent.
Information dominance is our single greatest advantage in the West and has been since WWII. Code breakers did more to win in Europe than any bombing campaign alone and the Battle of Midway would not have been won otherwise. It is why Ukraine is doing so well to this day. Numbers only go so far.
TikTok does not grant information dominance unless our government is dumb enough to pull a Russia and allow deployed soldiers in combat zones to post on TikTok, which I sincerely doubt.
