Why should he? That would very likely be against his interest, which isn't really conflict despite some hot rethoric.

- yorwba 4y agoHot rhetoric followed by no action is pretty much the definition of feeble grandstanding. The hot rhetoric usually serves to keep nationalists happy, but now they're taking to the social medias to complain that the government is a paper tiger, ruling with an iron fist at home and yet reacting with a buddha's countenance to foreign encroachment. Of course complaints alone are not much of a threat and most will likely get cleaned up relatively quickly, but if nationalists grow increasingly disillusioned with their government, some of them might be getting dangerous ideas.
