[Robert Schunk]

I must confess that I regularly listen to Alex Jones in order to gain insight from the many amazing sources who regularly contribute information to his organization, and yet am EXTREMELY dismayed that he seems to want a war with the People's Republic of China, which war would be very difficult to actually pull off with any hope of success.

I much prefer President Trump's use of economic and financial leverage to change China's policies vis-à-vis the US, and to loosen her economic grip upon us. Yet there are those who seem to want a hot war with China rather than the type of mutually beneficial "frenemy"-type competitive trading relationship which I much prefer, yet the inevitable chaos and likely civil war emerging from the combined Supreme Court judicial nomination and Presidential election presents China with a potentially irrestistable opportunity to win the current trade war with the US by fracturing and destroying the US.

I must point out these facts:

1) Should the United States wish to control the Pacific Ocean, the logical line of defense would be, as Secretary of State Dean Acheson stated on 12 January 1950, the Line of the Islands, meaning the Aleutians, Japan, Taiwan, and the Phillipines. (As I have indicated quite cleatly elsewhere, the US position in South Korea, besides being illegal under US law, violates the fundamental grand strategic imperative that the US not engage in any land war upon the Asian continental landmass.)

2) The extreme political unrest in all three of the states constituting the West Coast of the Continental United States renders logistical support for a solid defense even of the "Line of the Islands" highly questionable, requiring the US to seriously consider which portions of that line to hold and which to relinquish.

3) The above considerations render any active US defense of South Korea and Japan untenable, forcing the US to rely upon the (Trump-friendly) Uterte administration in the Phillipines to provide basing for US forces previously denied by prior Phillipine administrations.

4) The US ports of Los Angeles and San Diego should be sufficient to support a US presence in the Phillipines sufficient to aid Taiwan and Vietnam in their defense against China without requiring a US presence in either country (For this consideration to be valid, the US MUST hold Hawaii at all costs despite the wishes of her people at least during wartime and the initial stages of postwar reconstruction).

5) The shock of a war between the US and China should induce Canada to allow US use of the Al-Can Highway connecting the State of Washington east of the cascades through British Columbia east of the Cascades and the Yukon Territory to Alaska, allowing the US to hold Alaska and the Aleutians.

6) The Canadian Forces can seal British Columbia west of the Cascades off from the Al-Can Highway just as the US mllitary can seal Washington and Oregon west of the Cascades and California west of the Sierra Nevada off from routes contributing to the Al-Can Highway.

That being said, I remain well aware of the fact that the Chinese Jin-class submarines have nuclear-tipped missiles with range sufficient to destroy Los Angeles and San Diego while tied up to their piers on Hainan Island. We'll just have to pray that things don't get to that point.

Lost me at saying you regularly listen to that sandy hook conspiracy throwing, gay frogs ranting, snake oil salesman Alex Jones.

Not to mention appreciator of transgender pornography.

Nuthin wrong with trans porn if it's safe, legit, and respectful. It just makes him a hypocrite.

With workplace descrimination, a lot of trans women end up in pornography. Since trans performers are harder to find than cis women, they get paid more. I considered camming myself but I don't want to interact with gross dudes. Plus this Girls Rituals album makes it sound dehumanizing and exhausting.

I digress. Alex Jones is a piece of shit.

[choc e-Claire]

Oh, I agree with you. One of my friends has an OnlyFans account and she enjoys it to an extent, except for the gross dudes that you mentioned.
Sometimes I think about it too, but I hate myself too much. Maybe if I go on hormones.

And yes, he is a piece of shit.
