I take issue with TYT and their stance against "war mongering".
The trouble with dealing with Russia and China is that they are "Capitol-S" Superpowers. The only other nation in the entirety of planet Earth that can face them down is the USA. Any others will need to join a coalition, and even then that's only scratching the surface.
For this reason, we owe a responsibility, not only to our selves, but to the rest of the world as well, to be willing to take up arms against either Russia or China. Because if we do not? Well, you get what we've had over the last ten years.
China creating artificial islands to expand their territorial waters.
Russia annexing parts of other countries.
You cannot simply wave a bunch of complaints in their faces and expect them to go, "I'm sorry!" and really mean it. They're just gonna laugh at you behind closed doors.
You know how you get these ass holes to knock it off?
You park three Carrier Groups outside their front door to remind them who's got the big stick. And that it swings faster (anywhere in the world in 24 hours) and hits harder than any of their sticks.
That's not simply aggression. That's diplomacy.
Look, I get it. They don't like Republicans.
Big.
Fucking.
Deal.
I don't like them much myself, but I fully acknowledge that I'd have to work with them to get things done were I in the Big Chair. And not every single one of them is a Cruz or a McConnel. Some of them are human beings still.
