China (and Russia) are woefully behind the US militarily. China, iirc, has not fought a war in about 20 or more years. KJU being unhinged and pointing missile at SK and Japan doesn’t benefit China in the least as it gives those countries reason to have closer ties to the US-- which China doesn’t want. China can sabre rattle (and as I said when this came up, I’m 100% for opposing their Island building in the SCS), but given their current economic trend, I’m not at all worried about them retaliating against the US. If they haven’t retaliated over our arms sales to Taiwan, they’re not going to do so over a phone call. I don’t expect China to do anything other then moan. It’ll be forgotten in a few weeks, if it’s not already.

…Oh, and Apple sucks.

I’m gonna go find your posts from the aftermath of the 2012 election. Your tune has changed completely.
