Yes.

One day, maybe, we will learn that the best way to avoid conflict is to
give people what they need - not out of fear, but because they need it.
Not to bind them or control them, but because they need it. And if what
they need is not to fear, then work to remove their fear.

Not necessarily a simple thing to do, but it's the only sustainable
thing. Regardless of the cost, it is always cheaper than conflict. And
the cool thing is that almost anything done in genuine good faith will
work.

Disagree. It would definitely be a fight we could not win, and nor
could the Chinese. The loss would be indescribable. Any outcome, even
if the end result was not one Chinese boot left on the continent, would
be a loss.

When are we going to learn that you can't win a war? You can only
finish one.

Regards, K.
