Due to Western sanctions and the ongoing proxy war in Europe DC has driven Putin into Xi’s arms. We’ve already blown our $200+ Billion down payment on a new multi trillion dollar, generational European arms race. An arms race that was totally unneeded in 2021. While we ensure the DC oligarchs get nickels laundered back on the trillions to be pi$$ed away, our existential enemy has yet to spend the first dime or fire the first bullet. Xi is swapping Chinese steel for Russian tanks and artillery tubes for highly discounted Russian oil as we speak. This continuing is the best case scenario. The more likely outcome is WWIII in Europe while Xi remains unscathed.
