A pretty good observation worth sharing:

Xi and Putin are allowing the US to hang itself.

We are witnessing a global chess game

After 🇨🇳 showing new 6th gen fighters and saying it is ready to fight any war till the end, 🇨🇳 was able to lure

Defense Secretary to say 🇺🇸 will be preparing for war

USAF is pushing NAGD through budget approval

Trump is looking everywhere for rare earth and gallium banned by 🇨🇳(including relocating Aluminum mfg to US)

🇺🇸 is ramping up domestic ship construction capability

Trump inherited a 🇺🇸 filled with problems. Money is urgently need to fix internal problems, but debt crisis is affecting the country financing.

🇨🇳 knows Trump can never accept defeat or not being #1. So 🇨🇳 is using Reagan playbook on USSR on Trump

Trump wants to cut budget deficit and cut support of allies around the world as Gorbachev did to Warsaw Pact nations in 80s

Trump would like to cut military budget and asked for a Defense cut with 🇨🇳 🇷🇺. But in light of new 6th gen fighter, USAF need NAGD to continue its air domination. Does Star War of Reagan ring a bell?

If Trump continues to cut budget, US will concede its military dominance over the world, which is a hard pill to swallow. There will also be resistance internally (esp in Capitol Hill) for that

If Trump continues to push for military dominance, it will follow the path of USSR

Xi and Putin know very well about this and this is part of the event unseen in a century
