        When you live in the imperial core of one of the most militaristic nations in the history of the world, everything seems like a provocation.

          Ironic considering much of the world was constantly in conflict prior to Pax Americana.

            America has engaged in war the majority of the post world war 2 era. Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan twice, Iraq twice. And that’s not including all the proxy wars they’ve funded.

              Yes every instance was totally bad. The U.S. should’ve done nothing to counter USSR and their dominoes across the world. US should’ve just let every country fall into an authoritarian USSR influenced country.

              Obviously, I don’t blindly think every war was good, such as Bush era Iraq. However, defending Kuwait was 100% defensible in Gulf War.

                The point I’m trying to make is America likes war a lot. China hasn’t fought a war in 50 years. It’s hard to take Americans seriously when they accuse someone of being aggressive.

      yes, because what happened in the past can perfectly predict what’s going to happen next.

      not saying you are definitely wrong, but if someone wants to have a bet i wouldn’t bet on the side of China not invading.

          Spoken like someone who is blinded by the Trump admin, obliviously naive. You must’ve been one of those that thought Russia would never invade Ukraine despite US intelligence.
