This is anything BUT winning for the territory once known as “the United States of America”. Now little more than a vassal state for the Chinese Communist Party regime now in power in Beijing, the tattered remains of that formerly great nation is scorned and now under invasion by the rabble of the world. Parts of that country are swiftly sinking into a despond that resembles Venezuela, while other parts are struggling furiously to shore up and hold together some shred of faded glory.

“Still, if you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.” ― Winston Churchill

Just in case Plan B and Plan C both fail.
