Do you want to sacrifice your family's prosperity to take on China? I don't. Steve Bannon is so rich, he's bored and wants to pick some fights, but the rest of us have to work for a living and need markets to sell things we make.

The deplorables dont work anyhow. They refused to adapt and now they want to blow everything up.

Exactly. Most people can't see beyond their own noses though. If they don't think they are benefiting then they don't want anyone benefiting. Its a primal trait that's impeded human progress since the dawn of time.
Among self haters.......

That's not true. They've just listened to the wrong voices for a very long while. All their best qualities have been turned against them by GOP leadership.

Why do we run a trade deficit with anybody? Because that maximizes profit for the trans-national corporate elite. American companies feel no greater loyalty to this country than they do any other because we haven't demanded that they do so. They'd treat us the way they treat Bangla Deshis if we let them.

Lemme see, who has been squealing like they're being murdered since losing the election, including you?

That would be trump or haven't you heard of trumps latest babbling on about obama? Hell, it only took him a year in a half to stop talking about Hillary. I guess he's moved on to new bogeymen like the squad. Of course he still has his old stand-by, the mean stream media.

But you already know this being one of the forums biggest TDS (trump dick suckers). I assume you are only here while trump is out of the country otherwise your hands would be too busy to type because of the trump ball massaging you'd be doing.

If US nationalists care so strongly about China that they are ready to die storming the beaches of islands in the South China Sea, I think we should support them 100%.

We'll see.

Nationalism and the desire to save face at all costs makes some willing to endure a lot.

Heh. It's easy for the Chinese govt to paint the US as the bad guys, because we started this. They can blame Trump & be truthful at the same time.

There are lots of Chinese who remember what it was like before they embraced Capitalism. They know how far they've come under their current leadership & have good reason to hold fast in their support. The govt has seen to the needs of the people better than any they've had for 150 years. They know it.

They also have the resources to keep on keepin' on with us or w/o us. Their investments in human resources, infrastructure, research and the ability to bring complex projects to fruition have been second to none. A person doesn't have to like everything about their ways to respect them.

factory work is almost done. Americans being generally stupid and lazy has done them in. The reasons why they are stupid is up for debate but I would say when you dont need to fight in life you get fucking lazy. It wont turn around. We need a minimum income to keep these people alive and functioning as they will never do anything with thier lives.

Minimum income would just make it worse, survival of the fittest, let them see what stupid and lazy gets them.

And he needs the collective West to do it (take on China) while at the same time reducing the US to crumbles, cheering Brexit on and trying to find angles to break up more of the EU.
Yea Bannon is super motivated to take this fight to China. Not.

Are you talking about trump and his supporters or the Chinese?

China, though it does work for trumptards to a lesser degree. I'd say if republicans were as concerned about face as the Chinese, they wouldn't have nominated such a morally bankrupt, mentally ill conman and sexual predator.
