Comments by "" (@craigkdillon) on "5 hard lessons the West should learn from dealing with the CCP" video.

  1. The CCP has under-estimated the West and the US. The US is NOT playing defense. We are playing offense by OUR rules, our strategy, and our assets. We defined the structure of the Cold War, and we won it by our consistent strategy over 40 years. Our rhetoric is conciliatory, and non-threatening. Our actions are VERY different. First we appoint a Taiwanese woman as our trade representative to China. That was done as an insult to China, meant to ridicule Xi. Next, we expanded our base structure in the area --- Palau, Australia, and 4 bases in PH. Defense cooperation with Vietnam. MANY military deals with Taiwan. AUKUS. Nuclear sub tech to Australia. Stealth tech to Japan. Openly supporting Taiwan, in case of invasion. Showing that what we did to Russia in the Ukraine War would be worse for China if they invade Taiwan. Taking away our financial investments. Taking away our export market. Encouraging other nations to follow suit. This is how we play offense. In a few years, China will be impoverished. Too poor to keep up with us militarily. The US will win this Second Cold War, without firing a shot.

  2.  @martiguesmarc819  Every fact I stated is accurate. This is what I expect to happen. China's economy is already collapsing. Companies and capital are leaving. In a few years, I think China may have difficulty in supporting its new navy and air force.

  3. ​ falcon_224  My forecast of what I think will happen, I do also wish to happen. However, my statements of what is happening comes from reports I have read or seen on the Internet. These come from multiple sources, and are validated. If you disagree, then please show how the facts support another interpretation. Just making simple assertions doesn't work.
