I rather fight the ccp with a grown up in the WH. Like Trump.

Spread a little thin for another one plus I don't think we would have much help.

I agree, NATO is slowly giving away all their weapons and ammo to ukraine.

All of NATO is with us against China as well as South Korea, Japan and Taiwan. NATO made major announcements about China last year.

Hopefully China will decide to be a partner rather than an adversary.

It would be a very bad idea to have an all out war (barring nuclear weapons) with China. Anybody think its going to be like Iraq I or Iraq II is smoking way, way too much weed.

If you want a billion plus (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) off people at us, go for it. Meanwhile, three months in, lots of desperate American consumer shoppers that are finding little in the way of consumer goods, except food, to buy in most retail stores, and even some food sources might get sketchy. Friendly production of such goods will take a good long while to ramp up to refill the stores, if the raw ingredients can even be had. Welcome to 30 years of globalization. Poor people in the cities panic first. No easy day in this scenario...

The mighty Brits can't even field 100+ operational combat aircraft right now if they needed to fight the Rus. They're going to go all the way to Chicom land to fight them? And the UK is a one of the larger NATO countries. And Japan, that has few military age young people, is going to kick the Chicom's on their home ground?? Nippon tried that 1937 through 1945 and didn't get it all done, and that was a against a fairly unsophisticated China. Again, smoking way too much hubris weed in your dreams.

Spin rules today until the rubber meets the road.
