The Chinese Collapse - see it yet?

There are stories after stories about China invading the US, destoying the US, buying up the US ~ China using an EMP strike to knock the US offline defensless.

If the US owes the greatest debt to china ~ cant pay it.  Cant pay the interest on it.  China’s lending days seemingly ending or at least on hold ~ anyone consider maybe the US should be the one to strike first?

Or has the US already made that move?  As China’s economy stalls out – their forward progress halted, the US making moves to not just keep manufacturing ~ but insource more that has left the shores already.

and then there is energy.~ energy drives an economy. electricity, heating/cooling, gasoline, transportation and farms ~ all required energy.  energy prices have doubled, even ,,quadrupled over the last 10 years.

Consider the USSR – how did the US defeat the USSR? Other than engaging in direct byproxy wars  it was the economic weapon – specifically energy – that sank commnuism.if you didnt know OIl was /is one of Russia’s top exports.  So by working with OPEC the US kept the market flooded with oil – and prices way down. Under the weight of their Military Spending Cold War with the US and their top heavy burdon committments to social programs the USSR went bust.  Didnt make enough on their oil to support it all ~ it eventually broke.

So now back to China ~ China is a net importer of oil. In 1996 crossed over importing more than domestically produced.  They kept their people working ~ updating infrastructure ~ even building entire cities the sit empty (ghost cities, or future cities ~ fully consturcted, not occupied) consuming resources.

The  US made the “pivot” to Asia ~ basically just like in 1984 when oceania shifts thei enemy from Eurasia to Eastasia almost overnight. .- the US pivoted making china the number one enemy, while it was the USSR/eastern bloc countries in the past.

During /after the pivot energy prices have skyrocketed. In the opposite manner of the USSR coild it be the US has artificially inflated oil priced with the Aid of OPEC and/or others? – intentionally – to starve China under the weight of their social programs, military spending, etc consuming imported energy?

If your main creditor “goes out of business” and no longer exists guess what – you dont have to pay them.  Debt erased.

Yes its been hard on americans – but remeber the poorest Amerians – are STILL in the 1% compared to the world population.  We “can afford it”.  China cannot – and they are now choking and deflating. 

Are we in the middle of the second cold war, only this time using the opposite tactic? While surrounding China with the pivoted Military China cannot cut their own military spending – they would risk being pushed around on their own turf.

China is spreading more and more thin ~ is the US breaking China?
