"It can be done without war."

That is what the Foggy Bottom Boys said about the oil embargo on Japan before Pearl Harbor.

It helps to recall it’s really not about vanquishing one’s rivals but about maintaining the hysteria of impending war so “the powers that be” can continue controlling and distracting us while extracting huge wealth through the war and finance industries.

In countries we characterize as villains, their “powers that be” are know as oligarchs. Here we call them Congressmen, Senators, governors, and various other officials as well as directors and chairmen. Oh, and sometimes presidents and vice presidents. Gotta keep the party going, so we move from one Hitleresque enemy to the next, hoping not too many notice the boondoggle.

“Since all the chips are made in China or 21 I guess we’ll fight them using abacuses, slide rules, and basic dumb weapons.”

The thing with China, unlike Russia, is that once China’s strong enough, they’ll simply put-down any country that yaps at them, and that includes the US. But before that, they’re happy to have their enemies believe that they’re dumb and week.

Doesn’t surprise me that you would embrace Maoism.

Biggest threat to world peace is the evil Biden regime.
How many countries has China invaded since the end of WW II as compared to America?
America is going to bring down China huh?
Is that a joke?

Gordon Guthrie Chang (born July 5, 1951) is an American journalist, lawyer, political commentator, and writer.[1] He is the author of The Coming Collapse of China in which he attempted to predict the collapse of China and claimed that it would collapse by 2011. In December 2011, he changed the timing of the year of the predicted collapse to 2012, claiming he was “only off by a year”.[2] As a result, he was included in Foreign Policy’s “10 worst predictions of the year” for having been proven wrong twice in a row.[3] In 2013, he claimed that China’s economy was “on the edge” of collapse, predicting a loss of investor confidence. In 2013, China’s GDP grew by 7.77% and foreign investment increased by 5.7% to its highest recorded levels.[4][5] In 2016 he predicted that China was heading into a “debt crisis”, claiming that China’s economic statistics were faked.[6] As of 09 2023, no such collapse has occurred. In 2023, he predicted that “Communist China has peaked” and that the country’s economy would be caught in a “downward spiral”.[7][8]

Yes indeed.

The Globo-Islamo-NeoSoviet-Communist-Alliance composed of China, Russia, North Korea, Belarus, Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua and IRAN are the plague of the planet.

Anything we can do to decisively limit their warmongering, and pro-war hysteria MUST be taken.

Pity that about 10% of American Patriots here on FR want to let that Alliance replace us though.

You omitted Laos, Vietnam, and Eritrea, all of which are officially one-party states.

But there is a long list of nations that are effectively one-party states, even though minor parties are legally able to exist. Japan and South Korea are examples. In Japan, the LDP has ruled since the end of General MacArthur’s dictatorship, with only a couple brief lapses. In Korea, multiple parties have ruled since the dictatorship of Rhee, but they are the same establishment with a new name.

China is collapsing, and will continue to do so no matter what we do or don't.

China’s collapse is a lot like those robots that do housework, you hear about them a lot, but you never see anything happening.

Who should bring China down? Chinese people, if they are brave enough.

Your comrade, the Red Chinese troll/operative Sunsong, will disagree with this.

Ok, why don’t you or you son get the trannys, gay flight crew , 35 yo women with Ranger tabs, female Marine infantry officers …. Grab a shotgun, as many grenades that you can carry and start clearing buildings and trenches.

Wanna war, go visit eastern Ukraine and tell us how easy it is with our “technology”.

Do to the Chicoms what we did to German properties in the US during WW I..seize them under the enemy act and sell them for pennies on the dollar. Bayer lost their US aspirin factory because of this.
