This is true. I know Trump talked about trade wars with China and we are deploying vessels there, but a lot of press have been hinting at a war with China which is a total fabrication. We PAID China to takeover our textiles, plastics and steel industries. It's never going to happen.
Something which has occurred to me: certainly there is a lot of friction between the West and the China/Russia axis, be that economic or security. The whole 5G thing, the historic plundering of our IP (which we effectively encouraged so we could have cheap goods), the hacking, the treatment of Hong Kong, the stealing of surrounding territories (Tibet, Crimea, strategic islands in international waters etc).
Russia have previously mooted that because of the way they have set up their servers (I think), they would consider just cutting themselves off from the WWW. They would effectively become an intranet.
I can't help thinking with all the shit that's going on, especially the persistent hacking of our industries and govt institutions, that perhaps we ought to just do it for them, and that would also send out a signal to China. I only have a small brain though, and although it would make me feel better giving Putin a kick in the balls, it would probably do more harm than good.
Perhaps there might be a way of contaminating his Botox supply with Polonium, that would be rather good...
