Well, the thing to worry about is the crash of Evergrande which is a slow mo disaster in real time. The CCP are having to take it over and there is no way they will be paying off any outside countries/central banks. Fortunately here in the US there is likely enough Chinese held property, businesses etc that we can just nationalize all their chit and pay ourselves back. Still look for this hyper inflation to tip over into deflation.

Any chance this is coordinated between Russia and China?

Maybe their plan is to spread us so thin that we can’t stop either one of them and they both get what they want - Ukraine and Taiwan respectfully.

Bluffing is counterproductive because bluffs get called.

What exactly are these idiots committing America to?

Sending guns?

Sending money?

Sending members of the American military?

Maybe, but I am not sure there would be any particular advantage in doing so. Under the Puppet Chinese Emperor and his new woke military, I really don’t see any reason for coordination of any kind.

And remember....our military is totally dependent on fossil fuels.

Yup - every one of our boomers and all of them Virginia and Seawolf fast attack boats - why every durn one of them has its own dedicated oiler. And them oilers are fast - 45 knots or so - hydroplanes -gotta be fast to keep up with them fossil fueled subs. Yah you betcha. Same with all them nuke powered bird farms.

“Sending members of the American military?”

Americans had no zeal for war in 1939 and 1941.

If Iran invades Afghanistan we will have a trifecta.

Let;s see if I remember that cute protest chant from the 1960's. It went like this:

"Hell no we won't go"

Only that “war-hesitancy” cost the Allies 100s of thousands of unnecessary deaths. Like the 20% of Americans who support Joe Biden, most deniers were Democracy’s women.

Our US “democracy” was naive, ENTERING THE WORLDS WORST WAR TWO YEARS AFTER CANADA!

It’s amazing how long and slow the Russian military build up is on the Ukraine border.

Their logistics are still a mess, not much better than the old Soviet Union.

Putin can win but will get a bloody nose. He will likely back down.
