At least they respect international rules, China just ignores them.
It's playing bully on a long-term basis, no need to look over the world for "a" example. Just look at all of China's neighboors in international waters.
I wouldn't put any money on that. There are too many things that just don't add up, and I don't think they have the numbers.
I think the impeachment process is a two-pronged attack: damage Trump (always a plus from the Democrat standpoint), and damage Biden enough that he's not a factor in the primaries.
>At least they respect international rules, China just ignores them.
Huh? The US has been famous for not respecting international rules. From toppling the legitimate government of Iran back in the day all the way to the Iraq war and further on (including things like not recognizing the war criminal court, and even threatening it, etc).
There’s no whataboutism at play here. You’re the one who drew this comparison; the poster you’re replying to is simply explaining why it’s an unintelligent comparison. That aside, what was it about a team of 0 Iraqis crashing a plane in New York that “forced” the US to “show some power”?
Yes, there is. Iraqi war and what China is going is totally different. Iraqi war is a consequence of 9/11. China's fight is against anyone that will not bend to their will.
That the US isn't afraid to retaliate, no more no less.
