Dude, that applies to when you are at war, not when you are trying to prevent war.
Can you imagine what a shitty deterrent appearing to be weak would be?
We are at war… the TV news just hasn’t told people.
Is the fleet actually on stand-down, or just advertising that notion? That’s a legit question, because I have no way of knowing the truth… but I don’t for a second blindly accept what is published in the news.
Absolutely. There is a ploy here somehow, but someone more in-the-know than me needs to examine what this is REALLY about.
I dunno the people running the navy are in chinas pocket and really stupid...
Yes we are already at war.
Getting the enemy to attack you, win you're are at war. When you are not at ACTIVE war, you delay war so you can increase you advantage. You only provoke the enemy to attack, when not at war, when your advantage grows less.
Yea that's right, the whole R. Reagan "Peace Through Strength", strategy was a ruse, it was really Peace Through Weakness that kept the enemy at bay all those years.
Dude, do you not understand that you are at war?
