    Thing is that trying to sanction China is going to be absolutely suicidal. They tried with Russia, and it backfired spectacularly. China is on a whole different level from Russia.

      West will blame China for everything bad. Saying the only way to fix things is to sanction. Things get worse because of sanctions. West blames China even more for worse conditions. Says only way to fix things is more sanctions. Rinse and repeat.

      Libs will wear rags and eat bugs so long as you keep spamming the tank man picture. Which I have seen posted repeatedly all over Reddit a lot recently.

        At this point I almost wonder if the US deep state is comrade accelerationists 😂

        Things get so bad that there is civil unrest in USA. West solves this by waging actual war against China. WWIII begins

      The US is going to fall back on dominating the economies of those fooled into sanctioning themselves from Russia and China. The US is targeting certain nations to subjugate in the way they tried with China within Europe and Latin America (like Germany and Mexico). Asking for more “free trade” from these economies which is a euphemism for letting American Capital seek rent on every branch of your economy.

      If things go this route watch VW and Nintendo get bought out by American firms, Samsung and Toyota. The US would want tight controls over chips, Lithium, and Cobalt. The Suburban nation collapses without those inputs.

        I think that’s exactly it. Hudson put it really well in this interview. He basically says the proxy war was a holding action. US realized the empire is crumbling, and they’re trying to make Europe entirely dependent on them to keep it in their orbit. And to a lesser extent this applies to their other vassals.

        I do think this policy could backfire spectacularly in the end as people in these countries will inevitably start connecting the dots between their collapsing standard of living and US hegemony over them.
