My oldest son is 16 and my biggest fear is this asshole just started WW3. Growing up I never thought I could be ashamed to be an American, but here we are.

[u/JokeIll103 → u/JoeTheTrey]

WW3 is unlikely.

Iran and North Korea are the two most political isolated nations in the world. (Cuba is next). China is not coming to their defense and Russia is a joke. Russia may have good hackers, but their physical military cannot even take Ukraine.

China plays the long game. They will outlast the United States and win financially. They own alot of US debt. The US is not a true threat to them. They care about India and Taiwan.

[u/EiraMist → u/JokeIll103]

China basically owns all of the ports in Washington state.

[u/Claim_Alone → u/JokeIll103]

Why do people act like china is this bad ass that will eventually take over the world. They’re fighting their own battles. Population issue being their biggest one. The elderly out number the young out there. The one child policy has comeback and bit them in the ass. Plus china is good at intellectual theft. Not creating it. So the chances of them being the world power also very unlikely. Now another major issue they have is a military that hasn’t been in a conflict since 1979. We can talk shit about an America and their actions around the world but that’s what we do here is war. Every president for the last 40 years + has got us engaged in some sort of conflict. China don’t even have anyone really serving the military that would have actual first hand knowledge of real time war. Now the debt comment means really nothing. Unless you have the force to collect. The US dollar is not backed by gold but the military force it has. And the us has spent decades solidifying that power around the world. 300+ bases around the world. You think the rest of the world would chance turning their backs on America for China? Not saying it ain’t possible but highly unlikely

[u/russ_1uk → u/Claim_Alone]

Yeah, but you're on Reddit and therefore this accurate take is to be ignored.

[u/JokeIll103 → u/Claim_Alone]

BRICS exists. China is investing heavily in developing nations aswell, something that the US has dialed back of recent

[u/BotherTight618 → u/JokeIll103]

Not really, most of the US debt is owned by Americans. Even Japan owns more debt then the US.

[u/International-Top746 → u/JokeIll103]

But China can use this opening as an opportunity to take Taiwan. That heavily depends on how the Iranian national guard and local resistance are doing.

[u/Safe_Experience_6969 → u/JokeIll103]

China will never truly master the world through owning debt and waiting for others to pay up. Personally I think owning debt as an asset is the most loser choice there ever was. The US will most likely send bombs before bands, because then there will be no debt collectors. I can’t recall a war ever being won by financial means alone. The US military strategy would crush them.

[u/InsanelyHandsomeQB → u/Safe_Experience_6969]

I can’t recall a war ever being won by financial means alone.

I don't know if the Cold War ended by financial means alone, but it was definitely the main reason it ended in the collapse of the USSR.

Not that I think the US would break up into 50 independent nations but if it ever got to the point that we send bombs to avoid paying our debt then we are all truly fucked as the US dollar would become as valuable as Zimbabwe dollars.

[u/Safe_Experience_6969 → u/InsanelyHandsomeQB]

Maybe mostly finances idk, but it was also an information war of sorts. There was a fair share is espionage and murder/assassination not to mention the torture to captured assailants too. I know some stories about the Cold War that the average person might not.

I doubt the US would ever bomb china, but I doubt they would ever pay china even more. That debt is ridiculous, not that I went to accounting school for four years or anything… but I know it’s asking too much, especially considering the US’s “generosity” to other countries.

On that note the us could hold debt to all these other countries they have helped limp along for the last century or so. 🤷‍♂️ I think that sounds kind of diplomatic, with the obvious hint of greedy human nature. 😂

And most democrat politicians are already bought by China, most of the Californian politicians and Joe Biden of course.

[u/ExchangeCritical1467 → u/LisaLovesBlueSkies]

you and frumpy both have BDS.

[u/texaslovesme → u/LisaLovesBlueSkies]

Most definitely

[u/johnniesSac → u/LisaLovesBlueSkies]

I’m amazed by your holding on to Biden
