The China angle brings up some interesting discussion points. Was it Mossad all along and China's a misdirection? The opposite? Both are true? Started by Mossad but compromised and/ or leveraged by China?
Hijacking slightly, I'm cynical enough to believe "woke/ DEI" and now "China" are obviously bad, but are they the harbingers of doom we've made them out to be? People need to fight something, they need enemies to cover up mistakes, explain shortfalls, dump money and press into their cause...on and on.
On China for example, since the Korean War we had a bogeyman to "fight" in the USSR. It gave us Vietnam and a slew of things to spend money on, mostly in defense spending. The Wall falls and what do we have? Nada, just Clinton and his ridiculous "peace dividend." Lean times in defense but then 9/11 and the GWOT. Once the GWOT starts winding down, holy shit, the Chinese are coming!
Anyway, back to the show.
