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.
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?

Okay, so the U.S. is going to commit a crime against humanity in a war with China? What crime would this be?
