They can try, at least. If it’s to happen (I hope it doesn’t for the sheer destruction it would cause, though every day seeing what goes on in Gaza, I won’t deny a small part of me can’t help but wish for it as well) I hope the empire is truly overstretched, its forces diluted, and its arsenals and morale as diminished as possible going into the fight.
Israel, Taiwan, Ukraine… they’re certainly setting themselves up for a world war while the entire global south is increasingly rising up in (socioeconomic) revolt.
The really crazy thing is that they keep underestimating how smart China is and think they’ll take the bait and get dragged into a pointless forever war in Taiwan. If that war breaks out, there’s nothing to stop the PRC from just unloading on exclusively American targets
I don’t know, we already have that arrangement with Israel. We can’t exactly be everywhere.
