    Holding China accountable for the pandemic. At this point I don't care who is in office, so long as they properly hold China accountable. So far no one has made a strong enough attempt to do so nor proposed a sufficient plan.

    When Japan attack Pearl Harbor we responded properly. When China attacks the whole world with an obvious Bio agent, we are sitting here fighting each other.

    You going to enlist in a direct combat MOS if we go to war with China? You got the balls to do what you think is necessary yourself? Or do you just want other families to sacrifice their loved ones?

    Should the rest of the world band together and hold the USA accountable for a couple of recent publicized high profile drone strikes that killed innocent civilians?

    China launched a bioagent in their cities to attack the world, a world on which their economy depends on to survive. This is grade A logic.

    Bingo.

    You want to punish China just ban any imports at all. Of course considering every damn thing we buy is made there the stock market would collapse because corporate profits would crater and the domestic job losses would be catastrophic leading to a worldwide depression.

    Just another example of how we are beholden to the necessity of slave labor to keep corporate profits up er I mean prices affordable for Joe Six Pack.

    We had a guy that has orange colors that was in charge but they made sure he was gone so nobody will hold these CCP accountable for their war against humanity.

    So let’s get this straight. We should go to war against The PRC because they deliberately released a bio agent that still killed thousands of their own people, hurt their economy, poisoned relations with their important trading partners, and greatly diminished their global standing. They did so releasing it in a second tier city in the middle of their own country even though there are many international travelers in the PRC along with many Chinese that travel internationally. Not forgetting they have an air force, missiles and drones that can reach other countries along with a major export industry. Yet with all of those it made more sense to deliberately release it in the equivalent of St. Louis to get the rest of the World.
    That sound about right?

    While at it the trade deficit with the PRC increased under orange guy and he kept on praising Xi Jinping even as the pandemic was raging.

    They released it on themselves bc they don't want the elderly... it's deadweight economically. Yes they would genocide their own elderly to get ahead. Are you not paying attention? Communist Dictatorship??? Hello? President for life? China? They were having a population problem with a top heavy elderly until this. Now they can cull the herd and pretend it wasn't them. Even though all signs show they released this and Fauci funded it during the Obama era. And yes war should be on the table over something like this, at least economically, stop being a p***y.

    They play the long game and they are currently winning. You need to study up on their economy a bit more.

    Well that's not comparable to what China did on scale, but I agree with the notion that it's wrong.

    You're a wuss. You want us to get attacked and do nothing. Got it. I don't recommend going in on foot at the moment, but we need to start full out decoupling and then isolate China. Economic war. If there needs to be a hot war,I would be ok with fighting a great evil akin the Hitler and his concentration camps. Xi is currently this generation's Hitler and the sooner people get that in their skull, the better.

    Economic war is the best option. No one needs to enlist right now to fight China. China can be collapsed from within with the right exertion of economic force but there is no will because greed is king. I imagine we'll all roll over and eventually the Chinese model will blend with America, and take over completely. Kind of like Firefly.

    No, one party wants to blame people of color for all the problems in the world. They want to turn back to clock and keep “those people in their place”, make sure Christian White People have the money and power. That is the problem.
