> america is not capable of responding this is bullshit. if it remains a paper war the chinese are likely to lose. the us can swap leadership and intent on a fucking dime. no other nation can do this. its why we are so goddamned resilient. its why we win so much. china etc have had the same shitty responsible scapegoats for decades. they can't pivot and seem legit. 'the great china' can't go kinetic because it will cease to exist. all it can do is keep fighting this passive-agressive nonsense war and hope it doesn't get caught.  but it will get caught. and the global court of public opinion will push china against the wall time again because china, like all other regimes, can't pivot via a 'mandate from the people'.
