Okay, doubling down on your stupid idea...I've seen this playbook before... >

china has been at war with the rest of the world since the 40's >

You are seriously trying to say that a war that killed a total of 60K people is equivalent to the constant war footing that the US has been on over the last 100 years?
FYI, the US has only been at peace for a total of 15 years in its entire history... >

Oh, and since the other guy failed to mention it. That invasion of Vietnam? Yeah, supporting Pol Pot because the Vietnamese invaded Cambodia to stop his genocide. 
For such a peace loving government, the Chinese sure do love supporting modern genocidal movements. >

That’s some very childlike behaviour. >

What the hell is going on with China?  Are they disappointed they couldn't start shit with their little balloon, or are they secretly planning to up the ante? >

I have a theory that in international diplomacy the West (in general) has a high bullshit tolerance- best to get along for the sake of getting along. Authoritarian regimes like China and Russia take advantage of it and push the line because they know they can get away with it. Over time, the tolerance is interpreted as fecklessness (which is not unreasonable).
But I think Russia pushed it too far with Ukraine - so what we’re seeing is the US not tolerating China’s shenanigans and Pooh doesn’t know how to respond. >

God himself is afraid of the wrath of a peaceful man brought to violence. >

So... You have chosen the way of pain. >

Glory to the Emperor. >

They are waiting for General Mark Milley to call first and promise them we are not attacking them >

China started something that they are in no position to finish militarily.  
Their only other option currently is to run down the clock and hope that the USD and federal reserve implode before they get called to the mat for an actual fight.
