Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.

Threat report reveals China’s plan to annex Taiwan
And you believe US intelligence... Why?
The billionaire rapist pedophile government, which is champing at the bit to finish their illegal war with Iran, which they started, so they can start one with China?
???
Give me a source they say.
It’s not a good enough source they say.
The source is literally "US Intelligence". As per the article.
I don't trust US intelligence under the billionaire pedophile rapist child sex trafficking government.
Do you?
I trust them as much as a genocidal government who’s trying to annex a sovereign country.
What a perfect example of circular logic.
"I know China is doing X because the US said so, and I know the US is more trustworthy than China because, after all, China is doing X."
Obviously talking about America attempting to annex Venezuela, Iran, and Cuba.
Edit: and Greenland, and Canada.
No.
Chine annexing Taiwan and genociding Uyghurs.
So you do trust the genocidal pedophile child sex trafficking rapist billionaire government when it says China bad, lol. Good boy, I guess.
China isn't annexing Taiwan, and they haven't threatened to do so, as per my original statement.
We have unlimited proof of genocide in Gaza, and Nada when it comes to Xinjiang. You don't find that curious?
https://archivegenocide.org/
Try and find this website by googling it, by the way. Curious.
UN says there’s genocide in China.
Nope, UN says China has undertaken genocidal actions, however they have provided 0 evidence for such claims. If they had any, it would be front page news.
However, Israel is formally accused of committing genocide by most international aid groups, including within Israel itself. And most Western news agencies still refuse to call it a genocide.
You got any proof of equivocal value to the website I just linked you? Thousands of videos of victims?
I know Israel is as genocidal as china and I’m never tried to prove otherwise so I’m unsure of your point here.
One has proof and the other doesn't. Pretty fucking simple thesis, man.
Just because you deny the genocide doesn’t mean it’s not happening.
I'm begging you to show me the proof that you've seen, that convinced you there's a genocide happening. Please show me.
I’m content with believing the UN and the proof they’ve seen.
Well unfortunately my bar is higher than on the ground and I gotta see some pictures or videos in order to believe that there's a genocide happening lol.
Just because you agree with the state that’s sponsoring the genocide doesn’t mean it’s an okay genocide.
We've been through this, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
But you close your eyes and plug your ears for any evidence that doesn’t support your narrative.
I literally begged you for evidence and you said the UN's words were enough evidence for you, and I told you they weren't for me. I know you're medically stupid but I'm not going to have the same conversation with you every day lol.
Literally hundreds of people are showing you evidence but you're ignoring all of it.
So then show me some photos or videos of the genocide?
Other people have already shown you proof that you've repeatedly ignored.
Link it.
You'll find it quick your account is only a couple weeks old.
I believe in you.
Lol.
So not at all, I would hope? You don't trust them, but you trust them implicitly when it comes to foreign analysis, lol? Did you also think Iraq had weapons of mass destruction? What about Iran, lol?
