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.

      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.

          I stated the names because this is about the U.S. and China.

          So you’re not talking about the U.S. committing a crime against humanity against China, you’re not even talking about the U.S. and China. You’re talking about something that has nothing to do with the topic in this thread and you’re antagonizing a moderator about it to boot. Did I get that right?

              That would be a violation of our civility rule. I would suggest you do not do so again.

              Now, please explain how your posts are on-topic for this thread if they are not about the U.S. or China.

                  You have repeatedly talked about my interpretation. I have already asked you to explain the connection between Hiroshima and the current tensions between the U.S. and China and you refuse to do so. I’m looking at your post history and seeing a fair amount of trolling.

                  I think it would be best for us to end this conversation now, but I am going to be keeping an eye on you for both trolling and incivility in this community, since you apparently are not aware of the rules in our sidebar.
