Xi Jinping's mandate to prepare for smash with collective west
So, if China won't allow Russia to lose, then isn't the situation ostensibly a proxy war between China and the USA with Russia and NATO serving as co-partners, respectively?

Biden administration is 'not prepared' for this: Gordon Chang
War with China plus a proxy war with Russia? Our leaders don't seem to be very effective at working with other countries. This notion of full-spectrum warfare is kind of scary!

Putin, Xi Jinping 'linked at the hip': Gen. Keane
By being hostile towards Russia, we have strengthened the alliance between Russia and China.

China Has 10 Years Left, Says Geopolitical Analyst Peter Zaihan
Interesting speculation about China's future. This guy claims that China could suffer an economic collapse within ten years based on demographics. He seems over-confident about this claim, but he does offer a reasonable argument for why it might happen.

recluse: Interesting speculation, but I think the guy has tunnel vision regarding the future of China and his analysis is based on some stereotypes of questionable validity. As demographics change, the economy can adapt. There are technological factors which can develop too. For instance, artificial intelligence and robotics could make a big difference.

recluse: I watched another video with Rogan and that supposed expert in which they talk about the situation in Ukraine. The guy was wildly inaccurate in his portrayal of how the military conflict is going. For someone to be so incredibly wrong about Ukraine it would require that the person be either dishonest or stupid. In either case, his opinion is rendered meaningless. If I had just seen the video about China I'd be uncertain, but after seeing the video about Ukraine I have no doubt that the guy is an idiot!

Balloon Paranoia
Usually Tucker Carlson has something intelligent to say. In this video he's having a fit over a Chinese "spy" balloon.

Now the Chinese 'spy balloon' is down, what was it for?
The news media has been making a big deal over this, but although it's interesting, I'm just not feeling all that excited or worried or outraged.

It was the troll of the century and Biden fell for it hook, line, and sinker!
