Where do you dumbasses come up with this shite? No one in their right mind would support military action against China over Hong Kong or in most cases even Taiwan... a direct attack on the U.S., yes

Hard for me to say. Are we obligated by treaty to help Taiwan? Perhaps the threat that we would fight is the only thing keeping China out. They’ll have to ask themselves if Taiwan is worth having the mainland wrecked over.

After twenty years of war, I’d like to see a speak softly but carry a big stick foreign policy. We won’t get involved in your shite, but hit us and we will obliterate you. Twice.

Not bad.

Millions transplanted from Hong Kong might turn California back to red.

At the end of the day I don’t support involving us militarily in that but I’d 100% support an economic hit to them. True sanctions and get the Europeans on board somehow. It would hurt us economically for sure but it would cause chaos there.
this is how i feel

it's not serious enough to shed American blood there

This is stupid.


In these two cases, we could defeat China without firing a bullet.


Without the US, their economy implodes and the Chinese are eating each other inside of 10 years.


Trump knows this, Xi knows this.


Bamarep has been to Taiwan many times and it is one of my favorite places.

If it included supporting Taiwan, and Japan and South Korea were 100% on board (financially and with boots on the ground), then yes.

Well, I don’t necessarily want to fight a war for Hong King or Taiwan but there’s gonna be a war with China eventually. We may as well fight it now while we can still win it.

No.

I would support putting a 1500% tariff on ALL goods and services that have any Chinese materials or labor in them though.

Yes, I am for all-out General War with Communist China. The USA should do it as soon as Trump is Re elected.

China is a long-term threat to the existence of the USA.
