“All China and Russia have to do is decide how to split the territory, once the slaughter is over when the starving population devolves into anarchy.”
And there goes the market for their stuff...
“And there goes the market for their stuff...’
Russia doesn’t export much to the USA. Its primary exports are energy to the EU.
With respect to China, it can convert its factories to supply its invading armies instead of producing consumer goods. Not unlike the US conversion of its manufacturing capacity to producing war materials in WWII. For China, wiping out 200 million of the 300 million US population via the anarchy and starvation following EMP and then sending 200 million of its own people to North America would be a good deal. Supplying the occupation and rebuilding would keep its factories at home running for decades.
China needs room for its people more than it needs a market for its stuff.
Selling us stuff is just the means to get financial backing for their military expansion.
With us out of the question politically China could be the military aggressor they’ve wanted to be for the past 60+ years.
