Like the amount of half truth and ignored nuance in this piece is staggering.

EDIT: It is even more insane when you consider there is an explicit plan by the US intelligence state to break up and balkanize China. Like they aren't even trying to keep it secret.

    Hal Brands is a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, where he studies US foreign policy and defense strategy, and is the Henry A. Kissinger Distinguished Professor of Global Affairs at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies.

    There's your problem right there. You got a war criminal fellatiator writing articles.

    Anyway why's this in the Atlantic. Isn't it about the pacific?

        Kissinger likes having credit for "opening up" China, so he's forced to defend it on occasion. Which is hilarious.
