Idiots

We are at war with China right now. This moment.

We have so far endured losses in the tens of trillions(!!!) in economic devastation with no end in sight

More than half a million have died directly of their virus. More than 200mn expected to die, according to UN, of hunger thanks to food shortages, lack of medicine etc

China has cost us more than 5 World War II already and our politicians don't do anything about it

Missiles. Idiots. Those are distractions while your fcking economy is being plundered and destroyed. While your culture is under attack. While information warfare is all around us.

Missiles and ships. What FOOLS
