United States Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin has told a gathering of top security officials he doesn’t see war with China as imminent, nor unavoidable, despite rapidly escalating tensions in the Asia-Pacific region.
Right, but I’m not saying it is. My point is that the fact that someone is challenging American hegemony doesn’t mean there has to be war. There was definitely enough time in which the Soviet Union looked strong and unlikely to collapse to show that.
both sides know this, neither of them wants to be seen as the aggressor because then the other side will have a narrative edge for their action.
like the Imperial Japanese Army did in Pearl Harbor, where the US government took the opportunity to justify their use of Weapons of mass destruction on Japanese civilians.
As an example of how powerful it is to have a narrative edge in war. where a government can easily get away with a crime against humanity, without any consequences.
Maybe if you were clearer about what you were saying, these “interpretations” wouldn’t be an issue.
I’m not sure what the point of bringing up Hiroshima and Nagasaki to show that the U.S. is capable of crimes against humanity is when you aren’t saying that’s what the U.S. is going to do again.

Are you really suggesting that the U.S. will conduct a nuclear first strike against China?
I have not, that’s your interpretation. Lol
Okay, then why talk about Hiroshima and Nagasaki?

Okay, so the U.S. is going to commit a crime against humanity in a war with China? What crime would this be?
that is your interpretation. You really have a crazy imagination dude. Chill out!
