Most terrifying thing about becoming a parent, as raising just how little of a clue my own parents must have had to start with. I mean, all that time I was feeling safe and really, is a marvel we didn’t all die in a bath tub fire event!
That’s exactly his point though. It’s more a reminder, less a threat. It actually sort of touched on it in the article, China’s relationship to Putin vs the West.
It’s sort of going "we see you eyeing off Taiwan, and chumming up to Russia… Please remember that there IS in fact a red line. We’ve told you where it is and if you cross it, you’ll likely destroy us both. Please don’t go thinking that you’ll be fine, because your economy relies heavily on ours, the same as ours does yours. "
I’d like to think that’s what good parents do though, make the kids feel safe and protected. Hopefully it means yours were good ones :)
Edit: “good parents” not “foods parents” dyac!
