I think how European Americans react to China aggression and World War will be in terms of degrees. It won't be overt wholesale unity though.Guest wrote: ↑Sat Nov 14, 2020 1:08 amYou may say that now... but what happens when the outbreak of war affects you personally?I agree and this is why I find it hard to believe America is going to unite in the coming crisis.

Your average conservative will not care when China hits Taiwan. They sure won't be running to the recruiting office to sign up to fight the PLA in an Asian war.
If China attacked the West Coast, who are they attacking? Conservatives with American values do not live there.
America is no longer America.
There is nothing left to conserve or fight for.
Biden is not the problem he is the symptom. You had a Presidential political candidate receive $10 million dollars from China, who we are going to war with soon, and yet half the country or more supports him!
Let the illegals, black radicals, and feminists, and transgenders fight the Chinese. I no longer care what happens to my FORMER country.
If China invades Taiwan, very few Americans (but the usual warhawks) will push for a call to arms. If China makes massive attacks on mainland Japan, the call to arms will be greater, but there won't be many lining up at the recruiting station, having learned how foolish the Gulf Wars were. There will be zero recent immigrants and refugees lining up to fight.
If China attacks US assets in South Pacific, WWIII will be in progress. It will be a mixed bag of European Americans lining up to fight. I can't say how Black Americans will react but I know from military experience they are just as patriotic as white folks, so my guess is many will line up. There will be some very small participation by recent immigrants and refugees, but it will amount to no impact. Many will opt out and let others do the fighting, me included.
If Chinese shells are landing in your town and forces are kilometers away, YOU and ME and every able bodied American will probably be participating in the fight to whatever capacity we have. This includes YOU and ME standing side by side with some antifa POS and when he says, "Shall we kill those MFers?" to which we'll respond "Hell Yes Brother!.." That's how I see it playing out though instinctively it is repulsive.
If it comes to that, I see refugee immigrants doing exactly what they did before, running from the fight. It does not follow that they run from fighting in their home countries, then magically put their lives on the line to fight for America which they don't love at all, but rather see as a way to escape poverty and strife, and to exploit. That is what's called the "magic dirt theory". This includes to a lesser degree recent immigrants from Mexico and South America. They may participate more than other immigrants because they will have large community and family connections to protect. But if they can, they will head to borders north and south to escape the fighting. They have somewhere to run, those born here don't as much.
Woman who today claim they're just as capable as men on the battlefield will make a 180 turn overnight and run from the fight, claiming plausible excuses such as "someone has to take care of the children" and other excuses. There will be total, complete amnesia that they ever claimed to be combat capable. But they will certainly push with gusto for all males, sons and husbands, boyfriends and lovers, to die to protect them. There has never been a period in history when women didn't do this during an existential crisis.
