This does align with Peter Lee aka Chinahand‘s take when asked by Carl Zha, something along the lines of how silly it is for the US to take on both Russia and China at same time. Which is question I ask myself too, a pretty valid question. I mean how come US is this stupid? Are they suicidal?
His reply was basically that the US is just taking its opportunity when the cards are mostly lining up. They are able to manipulate all the anti China elements around china, Japan, yoon in SK, Marcos in Phillipines, India and now possibly the pro US Thailand after recent elections, it’s not often these favourable conditions all align together to be able to make use of. The proxy war in Russia isn’t really costing any American troops or assets yet cuz it’s still a proxy war for now. They can afford to warmonger on China. Although how long this can continue I’m not sure.
Also, Not to mention in Aus where all the mainstream media, not just Murdoch rags, are constantly warmongering on China, there is definitely a feeling of preparing us to accept that war with China is close to inevitable and if that happens, China is the bad guy.
just the reporting on Ukraine conflict by smh alone, supposedly a more independent newspaper in Australia is enough to make me puke. No difference if it was reporting done by the US state department itself. I have no doubt if war in Taiwan happened this will be same kind of BS propaganda served by Aussie media.
