Well I mean if they truly want to start world war 3 then nothing else really matters, how it starts is irrelevant.
We need to start decoupling and becoming independent of them now.

They just think (rightly) that the West are cowards at this point. But glad we’re now on the same page and you understand what I’m now saying.

Now imagine that non stop going back and forth until the Chinese get their way in the world’s two busiest trade routes. This is important.
Unfortunately for them (and everyone, if it goes that far) is that they cannot withstand the hate the U.S. Navy is capable of dropping on their heads. The Navy's main purpose is to ensure open use of the seas. The fact that our navy absolutely dwarfs everyone else's highlights this commitment. The ability to project force is a nice side effect of having the big stick required to ensure the seas remain open.
Once the hate starts flowing, though, I fear someone does something unimaginable.

I can't imagine my entire foreign policy being based on "feed those who insult Trump to the wolves." I guess if Putin was firebombing London you'd say they deserve it for BoJo blaming Trump for the capitol riots?

More people live inside that circle than outside it. That trade route is still extremely, extremely important for a functioning world
We’re still not going to stop trading with China, which is the biggest piece of that circle. The route doesn’t necessarily change without war with China for us and cut off of trade there. India can be reached simply going around, but we still control the South Pacific and the Chinese Navy can’t compete, which is why China won’t attack the Phillipines to begin with.

I just don’t see any other reason that China would build a massive, massive dock, big enough to dock three aircraft carriers, right at the entrance of the Red Sea if that’s not their plan. The dock is absolutely enormous in a very strategic location. They don’t have the carriers and battleships to fill the dock yet, but the dock is ready for them.

That's a huge leap. Zelensky didn't insult Trump, he just caved to the US deep state when presented the chance to talk about their corruption through the Biden Crime Family.
But you do you. All you've done in this thread is white knight for Biden. How deep is your head in the stand to believe that Biden and his family aren't corrupt and are moral upstanding Americans?

China recently completed a massive port in Kenya as well.

It was posted on here in one of the threads. A couple different links to news articles etc an pics. I guess it was BS, my statement was supposed to a question but I wrote it wrong.

Yea it’s an interesting hypothesis that makes sense. I didn’t know about that dock.

Yeah, the one I’m talking about is in Djibouti. The Kenya one though may be one simply for trade, but this one seems specifically designed for aircraft carriers, which is ominous to say the least.
Posted on 2/25/22 at 7:52 pm to OMLandshark
I’ve seen both of them and theyre both big but the one in Kenya is absolutely massive, the largest on the continent I believe. China already has a military base in DJ.

And Boris Johnson bought into the deep state lie that got trump impeached a second time. Give London to Putin, right?

I haven't knighted for Biden once. I voted for Trump twice. It's just that your tiny little brain is so deluded that you see this as a binary, just like the leftists you hate.

I think Djibuti is part of a new massive base for China. China is spending a LOT of money in Africa, much of which via loans they know the Africans won’t be able to pay but allows them to take control.
Posted on 2/25/22 at 7:54 pm to OMLandshark
China knows that Africa’s demographics will make them a huge consumer of their cheap goods as they modernize and their populations explode over the next 20 years. It’s a pretty good call on their part.

Yep but they will never understand that they sound just like the left just in reverse

And I promise you there's already at least two hunter-killer subs devoted solely to that dock at all times, doing their hole in the water impression, gathering intelligence.
And waiting.
The sheer size of our Navy allows us to do things globally that other countries can only do regionally.
And with that I'm gonna quit on this topic because we're threadjacking.
