Oh no! Someone figured out China's plan!

Captain Blackadder: Our battles are directed, sir?

General Melchett: Well, of course they are, Blackadder, directed according to the Grand Plan.

Captain Blackadder: Would that be the plan to continue with total slaughter until everyone's dead except Field Marshal Haig, Lady Haig and their tortoise, Alan?

General Melchett: Great Scott! Even you know it!

There was a novel back in the 1950s titled “The Ugly American.” Someone will write one titled “The Ugly Chinaman.”

The PRC seeks to become a global military power

Paucity of feces, Sherlock. Real Americans have been warning of this for the past twenty years, and have been derided by the commie dems and free traitor Wall Street types for saying so.

the rules-based international order

Sort of like that "rule of law" thing that the globalists use against the people.

So, just use it against China, problem solved. See how easy that is?

-- Real Americans have been warning of this for the past twenty years ... --

Some since Nixon.

But the people in control craved the salve labor so shipped jobs over there. All part of leveling the playing field. No nation can be allowed to stick too far above any other. Make the whole world, third world.

We can even have fake global elections and fake global politicians who will look out for the chattel humans.
