Both seem equally eager and China is acitvely preparing and the poking and proding during a pandemic is a clear sign they are keen on the idea, hopefully provoking I would imagine so they can get more international support. The US is not a failing power, they were stronger than they ever were the month before the pandemic and looked to be on a continuing strength. Now with them pulling their dick out of China they will only increase in strength while China looses economical strengths simultaneously with so many countries eager to get out and quit the outsourcing. China know this and that's why so many analysts think this will be Chinas time to do the grab, right after the pandemic clears but not long enough to loose that strength. There are many types of war the US and China could engage in short of troops on the ground but this particular thread is concerning a cold war and there are so many nations that can be curently used as proxy, The US are already in Veneuzalla under the guise of a drug war which is a brittle front for what it actually is. I'd prefer they go to a full on hot war and pull the plaster off, have it over quick and fast instead of ending up with another Korea and Vietnam situation... wouldn't you? The topic of the thread, like, Do we really need a cold war? I say no, we need a hot war. Quick and fast and a good boom after, instead of decades long mess with the threath og nuclear war looming as the threats fly. |
What in the what? I don't think we live in the same reality. I disagree with almost all your opinions of course but I don't think you have the facts straight either. First of all, countries aren't eager to stop their relationship with China. Many are reluctant and doing it because of the US, but rarely are any of them eager.
Secondly, the US is a falling empire. It lost every conflict it took part in, it's domestically becoming worse and worse, it's institutions becoming weaker, stupid inept leadership is emerging, people are losing confidence in all institutions, other countries are laughing at or pitying Americans.
Thirdly, your so called "hot war" or as the rest of us call it, a war, is more dangerous and more likely to result in nukes falling and only benefits the rich oligarchs and no one else. Even they might not like it because it will start WW3 and might be the end of the US and China.
Fourthly, there is no indication China is eager to participate in any war, much less with it's most valuable trading partner.
Sorry but we can't have a discussion when we don't even look at reality the same way. Your points to me look like you are saying it's right while pointing left.
Just a guy who doesn't want to be bored. Also
