Summary
US and China WAR May be Inevitable, As Economy Collapses And Democrats And GOP Fight, War Approaches. The Thucydides Trap says that whenever a rising power moves to displace the existing superpower war is inevitable.
5 years ago The Atlantic wrote that not only was war with the US and China likely it was way more likely than anyone realized. They wrote that something could happen that will cause a cascade affect resulting in total war.
And now many people are bullish on war.
A series of military confrontations, China's attempts to cause us harm during the crisis, the collapse of crude oil prices, and the economic collapse have put the world in the most dangerous position it has been in yet.
Nuclear weapons stand at the ready and no one is willing to back down. As more people in the US, not just Trump but now Democrats and joe Biden, move to blame China it seems that it is only a matter of time when full scare war breaks out.
Or maybe it won't, maybe this is just hype and media sensationalism, maybe the real war will be an information war.

| 0:00.0 | In what may be some of the most shocking breaking news we've ever seen, US oil prices just |
| 0:05.2 | turned negative for the first time ever. Now there's going to be a ton of analysis and opinion |
| 0:09.5 | around this and what it means. And I can't speak to the economic impact for the most part. What I |
| 0:13.2 | can say is that demand is gone because of this suppliers now have to actually pay to get bit of |
| 0:19.6 | this oil. We are facing not just a pandemic, but an economic collapse. And it's so bad. We're seeing |
| 0:25.9 | stories like this. But of course, everyone wants to know who to blame. Ultimately, I don't think |
| 0:31.2 | it matters who is to blame. But of course, many people say it's China. They knew about the pandemic. |
| 0:36.4 | They didn't tell anyone. In fact, they weaponized it, spreading disinformation to hurt people. Some |
| 0:41.3 | have called this an act of war. And the question arises then, will we actually face a hot war |
| 0:47.8 | with China and its allies, Russia, Iran and potentially other countries, potentially |
| 0:52.5 | Latin American countries? And some have concluded the answer is yes. In an op-ed, |
| 0:57.6 | Magidnawaz says that we are facing Thucydides trap. As China seeks to gain global dominance, |
| 1:04.4 | they are facing up against the US and the only outcome could be full scale war. Not light war, |
| 1:11.6 | not skirmishes, but total warfare, even arguing they're preparing for it. In a piece from the Atlantic, |
| 1:18.9 | they said in back in 2015, a 12 of 16 historical moments in the past 500 years, |
| 1:24.6 | where a rising power challenged a superpower war erupted. We have several stories over the past |
| 1:31.9 | couple of weeks that have made many people wonder whether or not war is coming. I want to show you |
| 1:37.1 | what Magid wrote in saying that China, yes, is preparing for total war. But first, let me show you |
| 1:42.2 | some of these stories. From the New York Post, April 15th, US military planes spotted after China |
| 1:48.3 | sends naval ships past Taiwan. The USS Theodore Roosevelt was mostly disabled docked with 80% |
| 1:54.8 | of its personnel being evacuated due to the coronavirus. Another aircraft carrier was docked as well, |
| 1:59.3 | and the US did an elephant walk, a show of force. At the same time, China sent a strike group |
