I disagree that that there was anything amicable during Biden years. Biden picked up exactly where Trump left off before him and he escalated tensions with stuff like CHIPS act, ban on Chinese EVs and so on. There's been a continuation of policy here across administration since Obama's pivot to Asia when the US decided that China was the main adversary. Things have been steadily escalating, and now they're entering into an openly hostile territory.

    Trump was the president before Biden. But also, Biden and Xi were meeting, talking, there's several videos of these meetings. Both sides agreed they were on good terms and this whole sanction and blacklist wasn't the focus of communications/relations.

    So I think there was far less chances of war under other leaders (as my comment was saying). Judging from your last sentence you agree the chances of open hostility is far greater under Trump, but you have a strange was of saying it.

    Oh, sorry, I just saw the community is on .ml

    ...never mind, forget I said anything. Sure sure... Obama, Biden, Trump it's all the same Capitalist Kabal... All equally likely to goto war because they're the same systemic operatives. Even Xi is doing acts and shows with them.. all part of the Capitalist illusion.

    Don't vote, just let Trump destroy America so a Socialist Vanguard will take over. Down with dems... Ect...

    I'm sure Socialist argued none of these exact same points during the rise of Hitler and Fascism. Surely not. Yep, aw the first comment stated, it was actually Obama who ruined relations... Trump/Xi are just copying the same Capitalist song and dance. \s

    Communists fought the nazis head on, liberals decided to ally with the nazis against the communists, leading to the rise of Hitler. It is pretty much like how democrats try to convince you we're your enemies while trying to "meet in the middle" with republicans and other nonsense

    Not everyone here is American but honestly with the way Dems are constantly punching left and compromising to the right while ignoring economic issues I doubt they'll stop fascism
