If it looks like Trump is going to win, then they will have to attack before November or before January 20...............
Unfortunately, if Trump wins there is a lot of inertia to overcome to repair what Democrats and RINO’s did for the past 25 years. At Trump’s best, there just may not be the time to undo what was done.
So, I’m expecting China to got to war. They’ve been prepping for it. But they have the benefit of time because the US is so far behind now. Perhaps, if the US can ally itself with the other Asian countries that China is bullying, that we might be able to go to war sooner than that.
