War with China imminent?

[Deleted]

Invade a country that 80%(guesstimate) of your imports come from and has a one million man standing army. Seems you'd have to be bat shit crazy to contemplate this...

[Adam Jensen]

The standard political playbook is to start a war when your approval rating has been trashed. Obama is hated by the public and I wouldn't put it past him, but starting something with China is a bit of a stretch. Depends on how crazy Obama truly is.

I don't think he's as crazy as his detractors.

[Psilar]

You would never invade China. You would bomb the shit out of it and let them starve.

[mvaliz]

No war, but China will get pushy and flex its muscles as long as Barry or a pathetic democrat is in the White House.

How about you do us a favor and demonstrate how it is to not be a disrespectful coward yourself and call him by his real name, Obama, like every other respectable human being does - OK?

And in the mean time people go apeshit when they cannot buy cheap electronic goods.

[Zorohon]

Just some nations flexing over some stupid islands. If you go to war over that crap, I'm gonna despair for how ridiculously infantile the human race is. It's just some damned islands and they want to kill each other over it?!

You'd be surprised at some of the petty things humans will kill others over.

Its only a matter of time until China makes a move. The clock is ticking.

I dont think either the US or China is dumb enough to start WW3..

[zito]

Obama would be impeached before a war on china happened. It would end up being WW3 and USA would get fucked.

[satimy]

a war with China literally favors neither country

[Bakis]

OP got some (non)valid point about war or just taking cheap shots at politicians?

Yeah... about half the country and rising hates him.

hate does not mean what you think it means

[Snuffleupagus]

...weak, indecisive president.

With Bush is was too much war-mongering, with Obama, there's not enough war.

I hope you do go to war with China, and I hope Russia gets involved and all three of you cripple yourselves so badly that the rest of the world can finally ignore you.

You might just have stumbled upon the solution of slowing down global warming

HA! Misery loves company, if we can't be happy, we'll make sure you all aren't either.

i dont think you should get your panties in such a knot over that. i would love to be called barry. barry is a great name.

They have literally nothing to gain from going to war with the USA.

[Xenofreak]

I think China and Japan have been arguing over disputed islands for longer than Israel has even existed. No, seriously. This is nothing new. If anything this is business as usual. Rather than this being an indication of some oncoming war, those two agreeing over a deal with the water borders between their two countries and the islands that populate it would be an indication of a lasting peace and an end to longstanding tensions between the two. This is the status quo, and the status quo is not war with China.

Angering their biggest trading partner, check
Massive military expense when they're already struggling financially to catch up to the West, check
Generally less diplomatic support for their "side" should they initiate aggressions, check
Inability to effectively strike at their enemy's heartland (ballistic missiles, sure, but you know they have defenses against those), while the enemy has multiple allied staging areas to effectively mount attacks on your heartland? Check (Japan, South Korea, most of Southeast Asia, India, etc).
Technological disadvantage right out of the starting gate? Check

The only real advantage China has is population. Which isn't helpful in attacking the USA, unless they can get them across the Pacific, which they don't have the fleet to accomplish.

[Derajal]

obama is hated by the public? any source on that or are you just BSing like usual.

Just because you're in love with him doesn't mean everyone else is, retard.
