Trump Vs Xi: Who Will Be The First To Blink?
And what will it mean for the rest of the world?
The war has begun, but not how we imagined it.
The ground on which warfare has been declared is economic, as opposed to terrestrial or in cyberspace.
And the reciprocal tariff is the tool through which Donald Trump hopes to force the Chinese resistance to capitulate.
And thus far, his counterpart isn’t backing down.
But then, it was always going to come to this: America governed by the knave fascist and the Sino dictator for life are locked in a near destructive battle in a quest for global supremacy.
In a world shaped and dominated by lies and propaganda, folks in the Anglosphere are too quick to believe that the United States of America is the strongest country on earth with the ability to vanquish its foes, whenever it’s called upon, with ease.
And there’s a grain of truth to this.
America has several advantages that other countries would kill for: coastlines which border the Artic, Pacific and Atlantic oceans, which make it impossible for a sea invasion to take place and of course the world’s reserve currency, which allows it to manipulate the global economic system.
