I am sure Trump have floated the idea to the military top brass and i am sure his ideas been shot down by them.
Extremely unlikely i.e China or Russia ... he even has no guts to have a war with Iran ... let alone China or Russia
The war with China and/or Russia is unlikely. But don't forget he sent warships, spy plane to China water while China was in military drill. Also breaching Russia water. Also trying to stir shit with Iran.
I'm guessing maybe those guys in Pentagon don't want a war. And that possibly the reason of why despite of many efforts from Trump's administration, there's no war resulted.
I believe until Trump's expiration date in white house, there'll be no war too.
The US no longer has free speech. I'm still old enough to recall when the likes of YouTube, Google, Facebook, would only remove content if it was illegal and/or if it was a "threat" to someone, or a copyright infringement... Now entire groups get deplatformed simply for not towing the line of the establishment (left) views, and if you question the official story you are banned... and if you try to go on alternative platforms or start your own platform (Gab, parler, etc etc) then the big tech pulls the rug underneath the feet and uses their power of metaplatforms to deplatform other competiting platforms... essentially there is no longer the freedom of speech, and the US government on one hand abuses the "third party doctrine" which allows essentially the US government to spy on all citizens by privatizing the tech firms into de factor intelligence arms (google drive, dropbox, amazon storage, etc all can spy on you because they are not the government hence no 4th Amendment protections but then they upstream all that to the NSA via PRISM and other fusion methods to the US intel agencies which then share it with the local police/states via their agreements aka parallel construction, effectively bypassing the 4th Amendment entirely) while on the other hand not giving the citizens any of the rights that would be afforded to them under the 1st Amendment right of free speech claiming that its a "third party platform" and "not run by the government"... so the government is eating its cake and having it too by bypassing both the 1st and the 4th Amendment rights...
For example recently Apple and Google delisted Parler from their respective app stores, essentially killing the service in terms of visibility and reach. Parler also hosted its entire infrastructure on Amazon's AWS, and Amazon was more than trigger happy to deny them hosting access, so taking them offline. So the arguement of if you don't like facebook/twitter/youtube you can go make your own or go on to alternative platform has been proven false once and for all....
I would feel sorry for Trump and his supporters except for the fact that for the last two years and more Trump has been doing the exact same persecution of Huawei!
He gave the order to kidnap Meng CFO, Trump gave the order to put Huawei on the US entity blacklist... and when that wasnt' enough, Trump bullied every country to ban Huawei, even threatening the UK with trade threats if Boris didn't renege on his Huawei stance... Then he forced Google to cut ties to Huawei, and without the Google Play Store, Huawei phone sales in EU took a steep decline as people have been locked into the Android ecosystem with Google Play and their Google accounts. When that wasn't enough he started going down the stack even more, lowering the threshold from 25% to 10% and finally to 0%, targeting ARM to stop working with Huawei, and forcing TSMC to stop making chips for HiSilicon, leading to Huawei cutting back from the high end mobile handset market altogether as it ran out of stash of chips and don't have access to make 5nm or below anymore... and if that wasn't enough, he went lower on the stack and had CIA set fire to the EUV machine China bought, buying him time to force Netherlands to stop export to China, basically severing ASML ties to SMIC/SMEE, and to sabetoge China's efforts for EUV independence... finally culminating in an outright ban of SMIC, and the final days of his presidency even putting DJI and other firms on the block list...
So guys, don't feel the least bit sorry for this asshole, Trump knew what he was doing... and karma is a bitch
America will never stop attacking China until China is defeated, China surrenders, or America no longer has power to keep the attack going, whichever comes first

I think they're nuking bots:
I might be biasing but I'm seeing a significant decrease in FLG bullshit

I wonder if Russia misses all these attention China is getting. The old wife might be smirking in the background. I think China having experienced this new cold war will bring them closer towards Russia as allies.
There are a lot accounts being banned today on Twitter, fb etc. If not banned, their followers being decreased.
Now mostly social media, later could spread to websites too.
Hosting platform AWS already kicked out Parler.
