Yep. Silly, alright.

Yes, you are!

a reply to: charlest2

Oh no I'm not.....

Carry on.

Any attempt on Taiwan would be a massive gamble for China where the potential downsides outweigh any advantages.

If it does happen it be driven by the political need to keep Chinese hawks in the military happy, not practical consideration of success.

Realistically, China does not see the need to invade Taiwan. They play the long game and Tiawan will come under their governance eventually. They know this and so do I.

Maybe when and if China becomes a functioning democracy.

Untill then they seem quite happy being independent.

I have this irresistible crush on you I can not overcome. Kiss, Kiss! I dream of getting you under the sheets.

I dream of having my way with you.

a reply to: charlest2

Not if I see you first....

Unrequited love, is painful.

Jog on.

a reply to: Oldcarpy2

I'll come like a thief in the night.

With a pair of handcuffs.

a reply to: charlest2

This is getting....disturbing?

a reply to: Oldcarpy2

I've never had any Britbootie!

a reply to: charlest2

Or any bootie, I'm guessing?

I'm male, by the way.

a reply to: Oldcarpy2

Bootie is bootie.

I'm just pulling your bootie, old crappy.

a reply to: charlest2

Only if you're desperate.

Handcuffs?

Come back on Tuesday.

Sharon is up for kinky stuff, but she charges extra.

See you next Tuesday.

I think you have your P's and Q's mixed up there pard. I tink it's the US conducting a financial war, not just against China but every nation that tries to resist US sanctions.

Question for you. Who do you think will outlast the other? The one in debt up to their eyeballs or the one holding all of that debt? The consumer economy or the manufacturing economy? The one with no means to produce left within their borders or the one with all of the means?

At present, we can't even match Russia's war materials manufacturing capabilities, much less China's, Russia's, North Korea's combined.

We are on a path to screwing the pooch, Captain

We are only building new aircraft carriers because China is loaning us the money to do it.

It depends,on if we can get the debt holder to strike first. if they strike first we can declare our debt null and legally void.
Instantly giving the US debt relief,and raising our DOllars power.
