Biden can sleep and win Europe. Or to be more accurate let Trump and Putin/ Erdogan self implode. so far America is still welding the winning power plays. Propaganda doesn't change the facts on the ground. Once again you demonstrate just how inept you are. Trump and Erdoran slapped down Syria and Russia, gave Syrian oilfields to the Kurds. Under Biden's world order administration China and Russia have formed a alliance. That may well cause unimaginable consequences. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You missed the memo. 9 out of 10 of the largest trading partners with China are the US and US Allies. China would have no market if they war or get to far out of line. China does represent an economic lifeline to Russia. When Biden gets up from his nap he will address that. Trump and Biden tried tariffs with little results as predicted. Cutting actual container ships, while disruptive and expensive, sends a clearer message. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your not grasping 9 out of 10 trading partners. China would lose 95% of its exports. No trade with China all at once would be very bad for all the world. But a gradual separation is needed since Taiwan and the South China Sea seem to be pursuits there cannot be agreement over. I’m not saying China can’t survive. They will have Russia, Iran, N Korea and other small markets to chase along with internal customers. With war everybody dies, with no trade we won’t fund their government. That’s the desired outcome dealing with rough authoritarian countries. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Boat + 1,323 RG May 17, 2023 The China Sea problem with China directly threatens US allies on the China Sea more than the US. The threats against Taiwan are the same deal. Those countries have to act in unison with the help of the US because they are for to small to act independently. Besides China is the aggressor here. Another example, You can’t create islands then claim fishing rights and move in 100’s of boats. That gets the locals excited. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The report Monday from special counsel John Durham represents the long-awaited culmination of an investigation that Trump and allies had claimed would expose massive wrongdoing by law enforcement and intelligence officials. Instead, Durham’s investigation delivered underwhelming results, with prosecutors securing a guilty plea from a little-known FBI employee but losing the only two criminal cases they took to trial.

Details are important, particularly if a little bit more info could make huge difference... Like shown in image attached. 'n' Starting from cultural reform by Mao, economic reform by Deng, and social reform post Deng, China is going through what the west is going through, except with a lag gap of 50 to 100 years. Owing to the size of country and population, internal problems would always cause headache until they produce grass root leaders care enough to solve. Not ellites, who are too comfortable to care. This world is big enough to include not just US and allies. US is silly enough to follow instruction to provoke conflict blindly on its second largest creditor. For money owed and accumulated more generously thinking they are FREE money (money of others) afterall, those elected might sell part of the assets of the country soon... Those who own the country will have very high costs to improvise after the elected mess all up... China, inevitably, copying the footsteps of successful west, like everyone else. Until they are able to stand on their own mind and feet again, backed by several thousands years of historical development, that they will find their own pace and peace. Or, lost in transition, like everyone else. No need to push them there. They are gliding with crowd of the world, safely. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
