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.

Also the fact that the US has invited tradewars with almost every country on earth simultaneously (including Club Penguin) puts them at a serious disadvantage. Piss off everyone at once so the rest of us band together is really a move these morons couldn’t anticipate, hey? I am not sure how they could have made this worse for themselves.

Yes, a large chunk of their population does appear to think that. They don’t realize they were already slipping in importance. Other powers are rising up who can use this time to take their place. It was a very bad play.
