Capt. James Fanell warns about the rise of China

Yes I was speaking of the 1994 agreement. The US & russia made an agreement to protwct Ukraine inorder to relieve them of their nuclear weapons. The chinese government may not "look" for a fight but they are intagonizing their neighboors with agressive behavior. We will inevitably have to choose to either react or not soon. I don't see how we would gain from fighting China for the sake of Japanese protection since they've recently begun to act against the treaty by increasing their military spending. Japan sees China as a real threat, and if they preemptively strike China then what will happen? The Japanese will eventually feel pushed into a corner due to Chinese advancements. It's a matter of time before one of the two crosses the line, forcing the other to attack. The Chinese sphere of influence is growing at a very rapid rate, and their growth is dependant on our growth. It's a hard decision, money may speak louder than previous treaties and I think that may become the main issue. Public opinion on this issue can swing either way to be honest. We should take out China for personal interests in fear of them becoming too powerful to mantain, for that reason I think we will fight with Japan.
