Clearly everyone should just let China do whatever they want to avoid war, if we appease them by expanding their territorial claims and avoiding conflict then surely everything will be fine. The politics of appeasement has historically been very successful.

Edit: Stop replying please, I don’t want to waste any more time arguing with y’all.

Britain doesn't have "feds", fed is a really American thing. It's short for "federated reddit" basically.

wiktionary says otherwise and even has a newspaper citation for British use of it to refer to local cops.

(I guess thanks to Hollywood's influence...)
