My take is China is too vulnerable against a destructive hit on the 3GD. A hit can't be stopped if a confrontation at that level of hostility is breached.
That would make the only preventive action, from China's PO, a MAD scenario. Not sure what the China counter measure would be, but it might be bio and we might be in the initial stages already, timed to threats against the 3GD.
Bottom line is Bidan don't mean shit, politicians don't mean shit and judges don't mean shit.
Military is driving the bus, and all the noise we're hearing is just 3rd graders acting up in the back of the bus trying to look important.
No reason to follow what the elected/appointed government does at this point. We passed that exit. If anyone was occupied with watching the 3rd graders act up, they missed seeing the exit signs.
