Just because a weapons platform is capable of using nuclear warheads doesn't mean we are going to hand said warheads over. The system has plenty of conventional warheads. Deployment of a weapons system as a deterrent is proportional.

You're spreading Chinese lies.

The weapons system was prohibited specifically because of its use with nuclear weapons. This is its distinguishing feature. This is the "message" being sent, though it also isn't just a message because it is an actual offensive weapon.

It is obviously not.

You're spreading Chinese lies.

I am? Which ones? Are Chinese lies a special kind?

Sounds to me like you are flirting with xenophobia.

In the context of this particular discussion, China = The CCP ≠ The Chinese people.

As far as which one are lies? Your entire post history is nothing but Chinese propaganda and lies.

It's not xenophobic to call out CCP bullshit like the shit you are spouting. That's called being a good human.

I dunno, I think Chinese means Chinese. It sounds like you just throw this around as an epithet and it is sinophobic. Please do some reflection on whether you are okay with xenophobia.

Name one from this comment chain.

Such as?

That's called being a good human.

I don't think it's good human behavior to use xenophobic rhetoric.
