So just ignore it and send Blinken to China. We need diplomacy not war mongering! Just stop it!
Hostilities do not lead to good ends. It this a trial balloon for the Pentagon which seems to be itching for a war on China? Bad stock market news solution: Let’s ramp up hostilities and sell some more war materials! ENOUGH ALREADY! Really, we can’t even feed and house our people!
