Thank you very much and God bless you.

Surprise! Looks like the Chinese don't like the idea of everybody being incinerated in an insane nuclear war, so they're doing a big favor to the new Trump Administration.

Time to starve Chinese Communist Party to death.

Tariffs to the left of me, tariffs to the right of me, tariffs on all goods moving through Chicom ports around the world.

Great. The Bidet regime is so bad and AWOL from diplomacy, it makes Xi look like the responsible adult scolding his rowdy kids.

Despite the gaslighting, Russia hasn’t threatened that, beyond simply pointing out that US and British attacks, inside Russia, especially against nuclear bases is making nuclear responses closer.
That really is no different than our own position. If a future Russia or China was hitting Barksdale AFB or DC with missiles or drones, sank several of our ships at Norfolk, and had already blown up a 25 billion dollar pipeline of ours, we would have nukes on the table already.

This is China playing chess. I think it’s a little optimistic to think they are trying to do favors for Trump.
