 People are dying in this country and many more are going to die still.
I know that.  Tell them that.  Tell the pastors insisting on congregating their flocks, jeopardizing their lives.

Who would China invade if they resorted to war?  Vietnam?  Taiwan?  Thailand?  Not really an ideal scenario for them. 
This is an antiquated idea of what war would be in 2020 and beyond.  
.
It'd mostly be computer-executed.  Physically, it would probably simply look like bombing major targets and an email that says, "Do what we tell you to and we'll stop."
Invading just produces an albatross of maintenance and holding people under your thumb.

This is my favorite, though.  When the thread about a virus devolves into "let's go to war with China."

https://www.cnn.com/interactive/2020/health/coronavirus-us-maps-and-cases/

This is a map updated every few minutes if anyone is interested (and not scared of CNN etc.)  The states with the worst ratios of known infected to 100K people are New York, New Jersey, Louisiana, and Michigan.  NY and NJ of course share a border.

CA is doing pretty well by this metric.  I realize more may be infected than is shown in these figures.

Are you at all familiar with China's bombing capabilities?

Do you mean bombing in reality, with planes, or even missiles?  Nope.

I have not seen someone suggesting that as an option, have you?

I interpreted those posts as what we would do IF China attacked someone else militarily.

Maybe this is why I'm confident.  Whenever I plainly ask for reasoning behind an argument, you just jump ship.  You don't get to bitch about my arrogance if you're never going to provide reasoning when we're at odds.

Don't be the coward behind his keyboard. 

LMAO.  So rich coming from you, the absolute king of making snide comments and then hiding behind your keyboard.

And I don't even know what your stance is, aside from being generally bigoted toward people that you feel are beneath you.

So you tell me what your position is, because I don't really know.  And if you make a really smart point, I might actually agree with you.

I say attack China. Right now. I want the US to declare war. Shift resources away from the ME and go kick the ever loving shit out of China. Today.

Yeah, actually, I've definitely seen that suggested here.

My response was, we're not in a military war with China.  And I'll add, we won't be in the future, unless we do something weird to provoke it.

Honestly there's no need for that, it's not where the battles will be fought and won... or lost.

And we DO have the power to change it and start fighting back in similar terms.  We have nearly ALL the power to do so.  

But I'm not certain we have the will for it, that's for sure.

I would be one. I believe they started this war we are fighting right now, inside our borders. I also believe they wouldn't hesitate to do it again. Whether this thing was invented in a lab, spread in a lab, caused by eating bat shit.. that doesn't matter as much as the coverup. AGAIN:

Look, there are 1.4 billion very nice people in China. The CCP would sacrifice every damn one of them if it meant staying in power.
