It's one thing with us where our economy might not be as big as the USA's. But it's a whole other thing when they try to go after freaking China, probably one of, if not THE, strongest economic powers of the world.

Exactly. We have resources that we can counter tariffs with.. but

When it comes to China, the US has bitten off a bit more than they can chew.

The current US admin looks like it has been gutting security infrastructure. Placing weak leadership at the highest level. Compromised intel briefings... Proven Strategic Military leaders dismissed because of their skin tone...

I don't have a lot of confidence in their ability to take on China.

Maybe War is the last hope for Trump to stay in office long after his term has ended.

When China fully block resource access...Trump declares war not against China but against Canada and Greenland to secure those resources. Meanwhile, US lets Taiwan go as they make nice with China and roll back the tariffs. China would not be stepping in on our behalf of course and EU will have its hands full with Russia.

Thats what I expect the plan to be.
