    Could be true, but I wouldn’t trust anything this administration says. Especially not on China at a point in time when the administration is shitting their pants in impotent fury that China has dared to not sit back and take exceptional tariffs without comment or reaction.

        Which is incredibly stupid economically and militarily. The fuck are we going to do if we fought an all out war against China? Yeah we have the bigger fleet and top 2 air forces. But without China’s minerals and processing capabilities, we’re stuck fighting a war with only the equipment we have now with no ability to replace it. There is no winning this, none at all. Especially while alienating literally all of our trade partners.
