Any time I hear a bunch of "Country X is about to start a war" stories, it's usually on the eve of the US invading someone new.

Nice to see China is just like everyone else.

We'll see if The US is dumb enough to get into an outright shooting war.

But we're already doing pissing contest proxy wars in the Philippines and Myanmar.

I kinda assume China fears being seen as supporting the guerillas if they don't support PH and India's efforts against them.

... and now we're talking about your previous comment getting more positive traction than it deserved. Seriously though, you don't think the meddling in Oceania involves China? I gotta see this...

[–] kibblebits@quokk.au 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You aren’t involved. Or are you an alt?

[–] MachineFab812@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Real serious reply right there. I don't have time for your non-sense, let alone to engage with it by way of an alt. This Orange man method of confession-by-way-of-accussation is pathetic.

Don’t even know what you’re talking about. If you don’t have time for it. Prove it by going away.
