Since the US does understand they can’t win a hot war with China, it seems like this might be where they are headed, just engaging in piracy and robbery around the globe (even more than they do already) and relying on the fact the other countries won’t be willing to start a huge war that will kill millions over it.
Eh, I think they still want to do a hot war with China, but also understand that it would be bad optics at home if they were the ones that “fired the first shot” so to speak. So I think that if a war between the US and China breaks out, it will be China “firing the first shot”, followed by the US slinging nukes at China.
They want to, but they realise that they can’t win, so at the moment they’ll be looking for ways to weaken China and pull ahead militarily so they can have their war that will probably kill over a billion people worldwide.
