Obviously, it’s impossible to predict the future based on the past, and China is brandishing weapons. Moreover, it’s been trying to take over the world for the last 6000 years.
That said, the culture of China is built around patience, and the country appears to be conducting this crusade with commerce, rather than bombs.
Where the U.S. invests in blowing things (and people) to bits, China puts its resources on dominating global trade.
It’s actually surprising that it took so long for Trump to favor Putin in Russia’s war with Ukraine.
Trump loves all the things that Putin stands for: brutality against dissidents, defying the law, war crimes, lies, and fascism.
If it were possible, Trump would enjoy the same absolute power that Putin has, and Kim Jong Un has in North Korea.
To his credit, Trump is astute when it comes to the timing of his atrocities. Had he abandoned Ukraine in favor of Putin’s Russia too early, the American people would have been outraged.
Now, after Iran, detention centers, gas prices, farm failures, killing clean energy, years of support for white nationalism, gutting U.S. education, and so forth, Trump’s backing Russia seems perfectly normal.
Bercerra comes with some baggage, but at least he’s not endorsed by Trump.
The bulk of California’s population lives on or near the Pacific Coast, and consists of affluent and well-educated people who want to see Trump removed, convicted, and incarcerated. Yes, the inland folks are largely farmers, but their numbers are far too small to elect a Republican in the GOP of today, with this corruption, ignorance, racism, and cruelty.
