Nukes say no. And even with no nukes, any direct war with a peer power would be completely unlike what anyone alive has any experience with, and any planner with two brain cells to rub together could tell you it would a fucking bloodbath that no one alive is prepared for.
Imo, the Cold War 2.0 drumming is just an excuse to funnel more money into the MIC now that the forever wars are winding down.
I think communists around the world should not ask themselves what position this places the west in but what position this places China in.
As I see it the only option for China is to aim to install pro-China governments around the world. This will come through either economic methods of unseating people or through supporting communists. I suspect both. China will not mind whether or not other countries are communist so long as they aren't anti-China. It will aim to strengthen whoever represents anyone that is not economically anti-China initially, and then at a later time anyone who is pro-China, and then anyone who is communist.
This is China's ONLY method to survive in the world as anti-China sentiment ramps upwards. The only sensible reaction China can possibly have is "remove the anti-China sentiment".
