Ah, that's the problem. You don't understand the meaning of "invade". An attack is not an invasion.

Well, because they did not invade us. They attacked us. Pretty stark difference in the key operative terms.

Ignoring that it wasn't an invasion, they told us exactly why they attacked.

1. Because of US Support for Israel.
2. Because of US bases on Saudi Arabian soil
3. Because of our sanctions against Iraq.

quick math lesson right quick for you since I'm an accountant:

Ever heard of a Treasury Bond? Well China owns a buttload of OURS.

NOw, take for example the American dollar gets weak to the point of collaspe, China is gonna want to cash in and get out before they lose big money that they already loaned us, . still with me?

OK, so if we can't pay them, guess what? they will most likely want something else of value to fix it, and the only thing we can give them is LAND. because they could give a damn about the Statue of Liberty or the SS Lexington. they are gonna want LAND.

SO, if they want LAND, chances are to get it, they gotta go to war because America is not gonna give up the LAND. still with me?

1-1= 0 +1 = 1 One country cancels out or attacks the other to settle the difference.

Short of Nuking China, if they wanted to attack, they could, they can, and by the way things are looking in th eworld, they eventually will in some way, whether by Proxy or all out attack.

and tbh, they ddon't even have to attack physically,. they can attack economically and we are finished since half the stuff we have in America is.....MADE IN CHINA!

Ask yourself. Hypothetically speaking of course. China would never declare war on America.
So?? Let me get this straight, an Army going through mexico, with all the drug lords, then trying to go through some of the most heavily armed states?

BWAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Don't be stupid.

Panama took over control of the Panama Canal. Not only does China not control the Canal, they are currently working on building a competing canal/railroad across Nicaragua.

You believe the most idiotic stuff.

There are exactly zero Chinese military personal in Panama.

Quick reality check, Mr. accountant.

A Treasury Bond is not land.

You fail.

Why would China want LAND? Don't they have a lot of LAND already?

There is NO rational reason that China would want to invade us.

There is NO practical reason that China would want to invade us.

There are numerous rational and practical reasons why they wouldn't want to invade us.

And there are overwhelming logistical reasons why they can't invade us.

But in your world view, you want people to consider what is a practical impossibility as a realistic threat, and quiver in fear over this imaginary threat.

Paranoia will destroy ya.
