#4  We are owned. In the end, I doubt the US will do anything to stop them and may even go so far as to deny support to those who would.

In other news: The origins of the COVID pandemic will soon be found. The FBI will conduct a full release of Seth Rich and Hunter Biden laptops later this afternoon. Separate tragic auto accidents claim the lives of both Ghislaine Maxwell and Julian Assange on the same day.

#3   The US would very much like to start a war over Taiwan.

I can’t imagine that’s true. If it were, we would have taken any number of incidents as an excuse to do so.

China gets all its oil from the US-controlled Middle East. They start any shit, we cut them off, and their entire country grinds to a halt.

China is already grinding to a halt. Has been for some time.

#2  Who's telling you this? Jesus. Think, people, think!

The US would very much like to start a war over Taiwan. Even though our official policy for 50 years has been "there is one China".

Taiwan is like Ukraine: we have no obligation to throw our soldiers into harm's way to protect them. None. Zero. Zip. Zilch. You think it's important? Go grab a rifle and YOU get out there.

China gets all its oil from the US-controlled Middle East. They start any shit, we cut them off, and their entire country grinds to a halt. Does that sound like a smart idea for them? It's as genius as Russia blowing up its own pipeline.
