I wonder what the Chinese are thinking while Trump disses them while hugging Russia.

A prudent policy might have it backward. Russia is a faded power. China is an emerging one.

Nightmare in the room. The Number you use is most likely is in the ball park. Remember the so called stimulus numbers are in and around 1.1 Trillion. Hummmmm! China is a true Capitalist Society backed by a Monolithic Military Controlled Government. In their realm,Money talks and Bull Crap walks.

When we're drafted to fight the Chinese as proxy for our Russian overlords, will you fight or defect? I know a little Mandarin from highschool so when I touchdown after paratrooping in, I'm gonna surrender immediately and turn coat.

as Russia's client state as we slide into a 3rd world country that just happens to have nukes we can't use.

The Arabic countries are already mostly authoritarian havens for the wealthy.

My question is what happens to Australia and NZ>

And has those plumy deals with Exxon then Russia will be great again. Which was really the point of the whole election. Make Russia Great Again. And also-more billionaires. Probably Trump's only chance to be a real one. Putin has made about 90 billionaires since 2000. It's his thang.
