    great comment from some instance we’re not federated with:

    What land war? China is essentially a coastal country. There’s not a great way to invade China by land unless you’re Mongolia.

    ah yes, just invade the coasts bro. worked super well for japan, and they didnt have to wage a land war at all. china’s got no interior, it’s all fake.

    The infinitesimal sliver of people on Earth who actually want war are idiots in government, weapons manufacturers, and Wall Street.

    Around 8 Billion people —and every animal on Earth want nothing to do with war.

    And this is a war the U.S. will not or cannot win for many reasons. Former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates was correct when he warned that anyone considering fighting a land war in Asia “needed to have his or her mind examined.”

    It is one of the classic blunders, after all, the second being never going against a Sicilian when death is on the line.
