      While it’s true that it’s all propaganda, you have to dig beyond these provocative woe is me headlines. The US’ supply chains are heavily dependent on China, including military tech. Congress is trying to launch initiatives for domestic production (or at least decoupling from china) of chemicals and components for munitions and advanced military tech.

      Whether or not the pockets of MIC are lined up or the military is “fine,” the fact remains that right now, nukes aside, if the US goes to war with China, they will either fail or scrape by their teeth by threatening to end all life in Europe in Asia unless their allies repurpose their entire societies to produce for the US.
