    I guess I should have invented a completely platonic hypothetical where the actors behave in the exact reversal of how they're being set up in reality. Silly me basing my analysis on the actual thing happening and the threats being made in response.

        At least I'm not inventing completely unrelated scenarios to paper over my magical thinking

        Oh shit. I have to explain how the US is being aggressive when China is the one threatening to fire first. Wait! What if there are boats!

        lmao fuck yourself telling me to shut up

          Magical thinking is when you account for navies....in a political conflict...over an island...in the middle of the ocean. You're very smart

          And lmao fuuuck outta here trying to play dumb with US bullshit over Taiwan, it has always been a red line and when you have pentagon officials openly talking about using Taiwan as a launch pad for "future and inevitable operations in the region" your goddamm right its a Chinese red line

          By the way, shut up nerd :)

            Yup. Magical thinking is when you invent an entire series of events that (one would say magically) reverses the order of aggressor to match your preference. China isn't threatening a US head of state for visiting another country. They're... uh... what if boaty shooty?!

            Lmao baby brain

            Have fun with that.

            I have the advantage of my position being provable.

            Either China starts a world war and we all die, or I come back here tomorrow fully vindicated by time.

            You're all very stupid for arguing with me. And you'll never be in a position to say that yourself.
