Therefore, just as water retains no constant shape, so in warfare there are no constant conditions. In every case, just as entrapment is to take place , we will have resistence and a response. That would be the Nashville bombing and the Madrid bombing in Spain in support of a Dirty bomb threat in D.C. So a stand down took place. The main thing to consider is this. War is the worst case scenario. We 'were' almost at war with China. HOT WAR Every day since that diffused China weakens. It was an apex moment for them and its gone. So without a shot being fired , we won that potential exchange. Every day that goes by, the enemy is exposing itself. We already know not to interrupt in this scenario. We hold massive kinetic power, while never undertaking an exchange. Our allies grow every day despite what you may feel is defeat. Let your plans be dark and impenetrable, as is night. And when you move, fall like a Thunderbolt.
