Beautifully spoken. Yet you still speak of peaceful, free and rules-based order.
- VulgarExigency 4y agoExactly. "I have no idea of what I am talking about, but I will repeat American State Department propaganda regardless."
- SkyMarshal 4y agoI believe it would be worse under the CCP. Power corrupts inevitably, and our best option usually comes down to choosing who/what is the lesser evil, the more constrained in their use of that power. As many mistakes as the US has made, give the CCP the power and reach of the US’s military and little or no opposition or constraints and we’ll be begging for the bad old days of US hegemony.

- SkyMarshal 4y agoCCP isn’t a hypothetical evil, it’s proven too. The only thing up for interpretation is which is the lesser of two evils.
