“Predicted”
What are you saying?
He’s implying a conspiracy theory that war with China has already been decided on.
he’s an idiot.
I can't tell if they're implying that the use of the word "predicted" in the article's title is not accurate given the body of the article, which I somewhat agree with, or if they're implying that "predicted" is the wrong tense of the word considering the war hasn't started, or some other reading. That's why I asked them. I'd rather not jump to conclusions.
You’re entitled to do whatever you want.
But people who speak in dog whistles, even obvious ones like this, don’t answer when asked about their dog whistles.
I’m going to stick with assuming one word dog whistle comments with scare quotes aren’t made in good faith.
OP is of course free to refute.
I wasn’t dog whistling - what group am I supposedly trying to garner support for?
This was my intention. The title is misleading imo.
Thanks for your kind words. I am not an idiot or a conspiracy nut.
Sorry for the ambiguity. What I mean to say is that the language this general is using very clearly indicates that the US has plans in place that have been decided on prior to any serious engagement. To call it a “prediction” is a poor choice of words. Thanks for assuming I’m a conspiracy nut you guys. Also, not everyone lives on Lemmy and can respond instantly. Whether you like my comment or not it is not cool to speculate on someone based a one-word statement.
So your stance is that his statement “I hope I am wrong. My gut tells me will fight in 2025,” is indicative of a US plan to go to war with China in 2025?
