    Sanctioning China would tank Europe’s economy so bad, there’s just no way they’re too entangled

    The US may be going to straight up bloody alter sacrifice Europe to weaken China/Russia/multi-polarity and the European liberals are going to take it with cheers.

    They’ll later wonder why all the jobs are gone, products and goods gone, inflation out of control, economy in free-fall but I suspect as usual they’ll be channeled to blame it on some minority group. Hell I wouldn’t put it beyond the US to try and goad Europe into a state where it “independently chooses” to enter war against Russia directly. If it gets nuked it’s not the US problem, particularly if it’s the periphery of it full of their most loyal deranged types (eastern Europe).

    Very worrying to know the industrial capitalists are at the controls of the military, the national-security-state, etc. While the financial capitalists like Bill Gates, Jamie Diamond, who understand China can profit them and are acting rationally in their own short-term interests in being friendly to it (though betraying their class long-term) don’t have power or aren’t making moves we can see to stop this slowly turning death and war machine as it gears up for a disaster.

      Seriously what’s happening is a total shitshow. Succdems vehemently opposing any reduction of imperialism because quality of life could drop, but they accept QoL drop for the increase of imperialism, and it’s not even theirs imperialism.

      blame it on some minority group

      There is one quite ready. Ukrainians. There are millions of them and while media right now worship Ukraine, under that there is already antiukrainian sentiment spreading. So when the war is over, especially if Russia either do what they did in Chechenya or even just install a new government, Ukrainians will be back to “slavic untermenschen” and get blamed on so many different levels from “not fighting hard enough” up to some totally unhinged conspiracy theories.
