Did NATO not see this coming? It seems self-evident to me that the more they push on Russia, the more they align with China. If only it was the USSR instead... :ussr-cry:
It's possibly a function of our two party system. Republicans want to attack China and Democrats want to attack Russia. If they could have committed to one or the other they could have tried to keep Russia and China apart to divide and conquer, but they tried to catch both rabbits and now they're forming mecha-rabbit. Or maybe they ran the numbers on WWIII and it looked good for their portfolios, who knows
They're arrogant enough to think that it would be contained to proxy wars? They have no need to march on Moscow or Beijing, just to keep selling guns to "moderate rebels" in Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Syria, and Taiwan
The fact they think that China loser version could measure up to anything really overestimate their brain ability. If PRC really invaded, it would take them less time than the Taliban take over Afghan
It's the delusions of grandeur that comes with American exceptionalism. They are arrogant enough to think they can project power all over the globe at all times and take on everyone. Their ideological mind prison prevents them from making a rational and actually useful analysis of the situation.
I've been watching a couple of videos by this demon. He is an American foreign policy speaker and it is quite interesting insight on how 'the other side' is thinking. i.e. why the imperialists are so intent on biting off much more than they can chew. He is also unfortunately personable
His main contention is that people like Obama, Clinton e.t.c. have not ranked their overseas priorities properly and are trying to pursue far too many interests even though the unipolar world is all but gone. He also believes that China is going to kick America's ass repeatedly (it's from 6 years ago so he was correct there) until they realise what they are dealing with and adjust their priorities
If you can stomach an hour and 15 minutes this is p good
It's pretty wild. Some sort of rapprochement with Russia is necessary if their goal is to encircle and strangle China. Russia is a nuisance to American interests, but China is an existential threat to American hegemony as we know it. Instead, the US flogged Russiagate for three years and completely poisoned relations with Russia, while imposing all sorts of counterproductive trade policies pissing off its closest allies instead of rallying them all against China. Now Putin an Xi are breaking bread at the Beijing olympics.

I wonder how it’s good when the whole country vaporize and the first target probably them.

they could be doing the Dr. Strangelove bit of "actually we'll be among the selected few who'll just survive nuclear war"

Biden was constantly attacking China during the general campaign.
