He makes some very good & insightful points and arguments.. (per-Pandemic)
If China can't effectively cripple us with the Kung Flu, then, they really aren't going to get the upper hand in this contest.

I already told you. remove the Russian sanctions.& that is done how??
I don't see the same relationship that you seem to...... Lovers of convenience~that happened to be married in the past but that didn't work out....
& in the lives before that one got the boot, the other got Siberia, & Mongolia, & the coast, & the islands off the coast etc etc etc.......
thats a meme. Trying to look at Russia thru Senate committees or intelligence agencies is a fools game.Well they didn't........... It was prob to late by the time the drunk left...
After that:
What small chance there was was squandered by putin getting caught fucking w/ our elections, which some ppl don't seem to mind...
You bet your ass though they would have had putin favored hillary instead of trump though....![]()
It aint just China. It's China and Russia together, Chinese money and Russian tech savvy.
They are now able to field a unified command as well.
Our Russiaphobia (sanctions etc.) drove them together- undoing 40 years of US policy
( Nixon's China card/triangulation)
what?Orwell was, of course, bordering upon the prophetic.

Well I don't necessarily agree w/ everything he lays out either, but I do believe it is a realistic possibility...... In fact the odds are in favor of it happening...
Have you ever heard or read about the Thucydides Trap??
Here is an interesting article in the Atlantic

Even if true, they won't be able to, either.They already have though. We're not going to recover for decades.

Sooner than that I'd say, and the flashpoint will be the South China Sea.
Bill, you do understand that we will almost certainly lose...
Right?
China knows that they are a 1000 year dynasty, rising again, better than ever.....the Soviets never had that.
Look too at how the Russians are very junior partners to the Chinese in the Empire.
The Soviet Cold War means nothing here.
Here we submit.
The End.
The US cannot object to Chinese ' hegemony' and support Izraeli hegemony simultaneously. The world will not swallow such hypocrisy.
Also, far from the Chinese flexing their own muscle inside their own backyard, the cause of the next American wars- and America loves wars- will be the realization that its days of dominance are over. That will be the most dangerous period, America coming to terms with its own decline.
Anyway- the current virus pandemic is a total game-changer. The US has spent hundreds of trillions of dollars on weaponry and ' defense '- only to be out-flanked by a microscopic entity with no brain at all.
Of course, Trump's industrial/military masters will want him to trash universal bans on bacteriological warfare as a ' response ' . Trying to prise the Chinese out of their own territory seems a childish and trivial matter by comparison.
China is the enemy.
If the Chinese were invading California, the far left loons would be cheering for China.
“Useful idiots” as in the old USSR days.
The usa lost the last two engagements
In many ways trump & his fans are helping to usher in the end of Pax Americana.... Isolation & shitting on allies only helps our adversaries....
Sadly some even believe that countries in south & SE Asia/ASEAN are going to continue relying on a unreliable allie/s being currently ran by an erratic child playing gawd and general....

Will you be explaining how that can be done??
