2050

Yes he did, the New World Order plans.

Especially when one of the opponents has several times our population and all opponents are oceans away, besides two of the three being nuclear armed and the third being close. Even with the size of our military, I don't think that's a war we would stand a reasonable chance in.

Especially ones with no obvious win conditions

They are with a nuclear arsenal. And Trump is stupid enough to use it.

This article was from before the election.

In some sense our large contributions to Ukraine earlier in the war could be seen as us fighting Russia via proxy. If I recall correctly our involvement with conflicts in Syria were also seen similarly, as us fighting a Russian proxy state. My understanding is that war between nuclear powers often looks like this because all out war could escalate to nuclear weapons too quickly. All this to say, I think we were already at war with Russia before Trump regained office.

Yeah Hitler “loved” Russia for a minute too

Because Trump turns on everyone eventually.

Not to mention China seems to choose the most economical decision it seems. They care about Taiwan strictly because of money. There is no economic growth for them from fighting the U.S.

The Chinese have little to no capacity for long range strikes. As long as you stay out of the way, they can't do very much.

China considers itself a regional power, and doesn't delude itself into calling itself a world power like Russia does. So it's unlikely they'd direct any strikes at CONUS if a war broke out. They would instead try to force all US/allied influences out of their sphere of influence and just play the defensive game until some kind of peace could be negotiated.

They have aspirations to become a global power in the next century and possibly could do it, the real question is do they intend to share the stage with the US or find ways to erode US power down to regional power and rise up to take their place?

In tech, yes. In expenditure; no.

But they arent as much of a violently corrupt politically theatrical shit show, so id put it at roughly even odds.

No. Only slightly in number of people. And even then, they're probably more Russian like than we're expecting.

Bet you China has some checkmate against carriers they'll pull from their sleeve if things go hot.

Chinese think many steps ahead so they won't escalate until victory is very likely.

No, America will fight against traitors.

It's fighting a 360 front war
