America may prefer to go to war with small countries it’s sure to beat, but sabre rattling can get out of control. Some lunatic shoots an archduke or burn down a parliament and next you know the world is in flames.

Next time China needs to boost their patriotism than can bring up the quote in the headline to show how dangerously racist Americans are.

Not to mention a fair number of Olympic athletes, who are arguably the literal peak of humanity when it comes to physical prowess, are somewhere on the LGBTQ spectrum. :roll_eyes:

China doesn’t really start wars.
The US however has a long track record.
