  1. Can someone explain to me why China controlling Taiwan is some big threat to America that's worth risking nuclear war over? I just don't get it. Guess I should have mentioned semiconductors. China owning Taiwan doesn't automatically mean they shut down trade with America. Nor does it stop America producing its own.

  2. Remember that time when the UK turned a fishing dispute with Iceland into nuclear war? No, me neither. Stop apologizing for American plutocrat warmongers

  3. "Yeah the US has bases in most countries in the world but look at these small rocks in the China Sea that China militarized" American whataboutism is rather quite cringe. Not even a leg to stand on really.

  4.  @stischer47  As the Russians are currently finding out, war against a peer is not so easy. To pretend America wouldn't take casualties or even potentially devastating casualties in a war with China is just blind American patriotism (or whatever).

  5. I mean, a nuke or very high yield explosive could render it obsolete no ?

  6.  @arghost9798  If China was communist then it wouldn't be a world power with countless prospering megacities. China is alot more fascist than it is communist. They really should drop the Commie branding.

  7. China should just invade countries on the pretext of "looking for WMDs lol". Fairs fair right ?

  8. The only reason they'd "blockade" their own country is if a foreign power smuggled in nuclear weapons. Similar to the Cuban Missile Crisis, only difference being is that Cuba wasn't and isn't internationally recognized as part of the USA.

  9.  @fidel-3470  "they call themselves communist so they must be communist" And yet I bet you also say "Just because the DRNK says they're democratic doesn't mean they are" or "the national socialists weren't socialists just because it's in their name"

  10.  @gastonbell108  I think Joe means when GI's go outside of the US bases.

  11. "both world wars" wrong. The blockade didn't do much at all in WW2, it was actually Germany that was blockading England.

  12.  @rafaelsomething5880  Because the UK has already been conquered by a foreign superpower.

  15.  @Icemann89  he's trying to justify the military build-up of tensions over a fishing dispute.
