Which also means a bunch of praxis wars with Asian countries.

    Simply don't believe them. The propaganda for war is just about creating fear and posturing by the US trying to make it as if their vassals are a relevant military coalition that could actualy go to war. It is a perpetual bluff and in this case it will keep working.

    The reality though is that a war with China will never happen because Japan is just as dependent on China's economy as the US and China/DPRK have nukes while Japan doesn't. You'll never be able to justify an offensive war against nuclear armed countries.

    South Korea is just playing Russian roulette too, joining a war against China means probably a war with NK and hundreds of NK artillary pieces currently aimed at them.

    Australia keeps posturing but it is merely an annoying barking poodle you'll feel sorry for kicking when the time comes. Fucking submarines 25 years from now when China will have dozens of nuclear carriers and cruise missiles to defend itself...

    The US military industrial complex wants to continue to justify their spending therefore now they need to find a place to dump billions, remember the F-35 was in part pitched as a "necessary" replacement to allow the US to fight the "new war on terror".

    Without the war on terror they need a new boogey man and there is nothing better than cold war 2.0. You are right it would destroy the already fragile US economy as well so before there is even a possibility for war there must be a clear and decisive consensus among the capitalist class and that consensus does not exist.
