    Which is interesting because Matt has, to the best of my recollection, held that war with China is an impossibility because of how interlinked the economies are. Well, we're making them less linked!

      Good point. I used to think war with China was impossible for economic reasons as well.

      But, post-COVID, post-Russia sanctions, and post-Brandon, I think he's recognized the doom cult nature of the US and the West. Rather than reducing tensions with China that were ramped up under Trump, Brandon is only pushing things further by promising military action to "defend" Taiwan, which I have a feeling the US would love to turn into South Korea 2. Chuds are drunk on muh ebil seeseepee commies r takin my bideo games and libs are high on the state department's agitprop. Other than lefties and maybe some real old ass cold warriors, I don't see a constituency to oppose a war.

      war with China is an impossibility

      It is, our leadership just doesn't seem to care.
