The scary part is - they’re setting the scenario for exactly that. And then we’ll get the compliant, heels up ho, as the new idiot in chief.
The PLA scripted COVID to see exactly how the US and the rest of the world would react to a 'rogue' Chinese nuke or even an 'accidental' limited, low-yield nuclear exchange, which would be intended to draw down populations and poison land/water in India, Europe, Russia, the Middle East, North America, and yes, certain undesirable areas of China.
They now know the answer. Nothing. No reaction. Green light.
Unless Xiden nukes gun owners first.
This almost inevitable event before 2030 would make Chinese holdings in Africa and Oceania vastly more valuable, and in addition to those 2 realms, they would complete their move into a post-WW3 South America with incredible speed, which will all be forcefully transacted under an e-yuan currency and home ruled by Chinese puppets -- just. like. Xiden.
