China military official says war with US under Donald Trump 'becoming practical reality'

[kpete]

War with the US under Donald Trump is “not just a slogan” and becoming a “practical reality”, a senior Chinese military official has said.

The remarks were published on the People’s Liberation Army website, apparently in response to the aggressive rhetoric towards China from America’s new administration.

They communicated a view from inside the Central Military Commission, which has overall authority of China’s armed forces.

Quoted in the South China Morning Post, the official from the Commission’s Defence Mobilisation Department wrote: “A war ‘within the president’s term’ or ‘war breaking out tonight’ are not just slogans, they are becoming a practical reality.”

3. I just wonder

Are republicans keeping him just long enough to get a few things done or are they crazy enough to let this continue indefinitely... Pence is practically a republican dream come true president cyborg and he will do what they want him to do, no more, no less. I just wonder if the CIA is busy digging up dirt on him as we speak.

5. thanks

i was reading here tonight and felt serious kinship with some of the sentiments...I've been having so many arguments with people gloating about what Trump is doing because they were pro Sandberg and it is like they are enjoying this (I was pro-whoever gets the nom). I swear I do not understand how you can claim to be on the left and be glad about what Trump is doing...I don't understand this thought process. I realized it was affecting my health to keep interacting with these folks and said forget it and deleted my social media accounts.
