3. A war with China would be a suicide mission.

And conservatives seem hell bent on taking us down that path to pay for the suffering caused by COVID. The warmongering coming from the right is going to get very intense in the next couple of years. Count on it.

Also - I'm entirely convinced a conservative president would declare war on China. We must do everything we can to stop this from happening.

China is a thief and a bully to its neighbors, and a rapacious colonialist in the Third World

We're not dealing with a benevolent, peace-loving regime
