There is a reason Japan never even attempted to invade the USA mainland. There is a reason why China is banking on a USA civil war, and is actively trying to destabilize the USA through political and economic means.

Plus, if we shipped troops, it would take weeks or months

You still fail to realize that they would still have to deal with the Mainland USA to win a war and not just have a cease fire.

Yes China invested heavy into Missile tech, and surface to sea defense in preparation to take on the USA Navy.

indeed. actually, if you press, many economists would say cutting china out (or minimizing china's economic trade role) is bad. china produces cheaper stuffs, so even though american producers are hurting, americans consumers benefit from it.

the question is: are the consumer benefits still worth it at this point? when do we have to put our foot down and protect our producers?

I'm looking for the pdf of the passage. If I find it I'll dm you

You want to know what China did not invest in? A mainland invasion because instead they will just take away the comforts that we enjoy being made in China and from other Asian nations.

Like that i-phone or samsung those won't be available anymore in the event of a war. That computer, or gaming console won't be available. The clothes you wear, and even the plate you eat off won't be there because the USA produces steel, vinyl, and components. We don't have the processes to make a finished good anymore. We only refine.

The USA manufacturing world is in a sad state of affairs. Even 3M produces most of it's own stuff out of the USA.

I have boredum

go give it to someone else my friend

I diagnose you with the gay

*boredom. your army brain is showing goat

"Hurry up and wait" is our motto
