    It might be better to just get the war over with now. China will continue to be a problem and we only let them get stronger the longer we wait. Let's do the damn thing already!

    Same with nuclear war with Russia and extreme climate change. Unfortunately in a capitalist system ruled by allegiance to maximizing quarterly profits mistakes can be made.

    And in communism, mistakes can be made. See: Soviet Union, Russia, China.

    Like it or not, the US is pretty good at war.

    Imagine if Trump hadn't pulled the US out of TPP - we'd be less dependent on China for our supply line. They'd have less control over our economy. WE could actually fight a trade war with them without crippling ourselves.

    Well if China and the US go to war, we have no more national debt......

    China is not going to attack people that owe it money.

    The US is good at war when they put real effort into it.

    We tend to dabble though........ Vietnam, Afghanistan etc.
