That's if we had a democratic president. We most certainly won't respond in the next 4 years to anything China or Russia does. The only thing they have to do for that benefit is not attack us directly.

Why do you think the party allegiance will make a difference?

I generally consider the republicans to be more likely to reach for military action, though the democrats have seemed pretty war hungry in the last decade or two as well.

Because one of them has a public bribe deposit box.

China didn't buy all that $TRUMP coin by accident.

Trump is by far the first president with questionable foreign ties.

I think I could replace "democratic president" with specifically Biden or Harris and would still believe the chance of military confrontation with them is "unlikely" unless directly attacked, but with Trump it is zero

I agree that Trump makes a US military response less likely. But it’s still far from impossible.
