We seem to be gearing up for a new world war. US + whoever has any balls for the Allies and the Sino-Russian coalition for the Axis. Land grabs in Ukraine, and I imagine we'll see Taiwan be attacked soon.

China is waiting. I don't think they're zero coviding anymore. That's an excuse. They're shutting down because they know our economy is reliant on theirs, and they're weakening us before the big show starts.

Russia is hitting us on the energy front, which we predicably blundered into, and China is trashing our economy. The US is being dethroned.
