Let's do here what we did in Hong Kong.

Let's just bring all the provinces home without having to kill anybody.

And by the way, you have no choice because the country you thought was going to protect you clearly isn't.

Can't even protect Qatar.

Can't protect downtown Dubai.

Is it really going to protect you?

Does the U.S.

have the physical ability to project power in the South China Sea when it can't even keep the drug cartels in Tijuana under control?

Probably not.

So stop with the pretense.

And let's come to terms favorable to us.

Well, of course, China thinks that way.

And of course, that's in their interest.

All these dumb fantasies about a showdown in East Asia between the U.S.

and China.

There are nobody's interest, but only China seems to understand that.

So if you're China, maybe you don't come to the rescue right away.

Maybe you let the pain continue for a while just to make it really clear who's in charge.

And once again, you'll know who's in charge by who settles the conflict.

The person or nation that restores order is dad.
