THIS IS WHAT PROPAGANDA LOOKS LIKE

Watch for it, folks. Trump wants war with China. These are the types of stories that suddenly started popping up out of nowhere before GWB and company lost their dumb minds about Iraq.

Part of me worries about what might happen with Americans of Chinese ancestry here if Trump goes down the path he seems to be heading. He made no secret of his support for Japanese internment camps, and his actions with regards to Muslims certainly aligns with that. I guess I can hope that there are just too many of us for him to do something monumentally stupid.

Why bomb what you can simply repossess? How much of our debt do they own now?

7%. The largest owners of US debt are Americans. China is the largest foreign owner, and owns about the same amount as Japan does.

Should they not be practicing preemptive missile strikes against their biggest enemy in the Asia region?

Well all things considered China actually doesn't own all that much U.S. debt. Most U.S. Debt is held by the citizens.

Regardless...what's China gonna do? Send over the military to repo lady liberty?

Jokes aside...Its scary when you think about what a true WW3 would look like now.

How is this a big deal? I'm sure our military has played war games with our allies with the same scenarios.

If the US goes to war against China, I can practically guarantee that Asians will be an additional target. The cynical part of me says that Trump's own experiences in real estate will encourage him to first seize the property owned by Chinese nationals, and, for "security reasons," transfer administration of those seized properties over to his own companies since they "already have the experience in managing these types of assets."

There's no way a war against China isn't going to use Asian racism to political advantage. They'll NEED it in order to keep the approval of the Trump supporters.

It would be foolish of them not to practice such a thing. I mean, America is what any military would aspire to, so it makes sense.

Every nation with a military has War Games.

It's just everyone is paranoid considering right now.
