The problem is that for years America has been, if not actually looking for a fight, at least daring other countries to start one. For example, murdering Iranian officials, pulling out of arms-control treaties, pushing NATO ever closer to Russia, sanctioning countries far beyond anything that can be called a trade war, and playing chicken with China in the South China Sea.
M-am hotărât să repostez chestia asta după ce, citind mai atent al doilea paragraf şi dând search "Bannon war China", am găsit un link în care Steve Bannon cel-atât-de-lăudat ("pretinu' nostru", n'aşa? da' care-om fi... "noi"?!) declara - în 2017 - că Licuriciul va ajunge în mod sigur în război cu China ('We're going to war in the South China Sea ... no doubt').
MAGA is emphasizing on the first "A". Accentul nu-i pus pe "RO", ce-i atât de greu de priceput? Mari ar putea fi costurile RO, în efortul MAGA, şi în avantajul acelui "A" (şi nici aici nu-i tocmai aşa, interesul îl are oligarhia ălora, prostimii revenindu-i austeritatea şi efortul de război; sub toate aspectele lui).
(Bă, Licuriciule, poate nu ţi-e clar: conservator-naţionaliştii nu-s la cheremul tău. Tragi în aceeaşi direcţie cu ei? Bine. Nu? Atunci, ori te dai la o parte, ori... vei avea surprize, Koae.)
The Unz Review:
An Expert Military Analysis of War with China
Actually, None is Necessary
The Correlation of Armed Forces: U.S. goods and services trade with China totaled an estimated $634.8 billion in 2019. Exports were $163.0 billion; imports were $471.8 billion. The U.S. goods and services trade deficit with China was $308.8 billion in 2019. Trade in services with China (exports and imports) totaled an estimated $76.7 billion in 2019. Services exports were $56.5 billion; services imports were $20.1 billion. The U.S. services trade surplus with China was $36.4 billion in 2019.
There is talk within the Washingtoniat of a possible war with China. Steve Bannon, who apparently was dropped on his head as a child, actually favors such a war. We hear the usual shoo-the-boobs alarm about how the Chinese are doing something terrible and we must gird our loins and American values and show them what for, bow wow, woof. The danger is that the current game of who-blinks-first in Asian waters might actually provoke a shooting war. You know the kind of thing: One warship refuses to get out of the way of another, a collision ensues, some retard lieutenant who signed up on waivers opens fire, and we’re off and running. It is not a good idea to let children play with matches.
The said war is discussed either in emotional terms by idiots or in purely naval terms by those familiar with such things, so we hear of the First Island Chain and the Second Island Chain and whose missiles against the other’s missiles and so on. This would be appropriate if we were fighting World War Two again. Which we aren’t. Let’s take a quick-and-dirty look at how such a war might go.
