@Vinncent @MattBruenig I’m well aware of this history. My question to you is... what’s the plan? What do you suggest to address the CCP’s actions? Concession to a CCP-led world order? If not, how do you suggest addressing this shift in power dynamics?
@Vinncent @MattBruenig One answer is ‘renew our commitment to liberal democracy acknowledge moral travesties and use diplomatic and economic tools and alliances to push back.’ Another answer is ‘not believe the CCP has aggressive goals.’ Another is ‘assume the CCP will lead better than we did.’
@Vinncent @MattBruenig I’m fine having the debate over any one of them. But I think it’s bad faith to assert that those who see a threat in the CCP do not also realize that American policymakers have engaged in horrific and bloodthirsty actions.
