Whether we ultimately initiate or not, we will work to create conditions for China to initiate, as we did with Ukraine, and as we did with Afghanistan in the previous cold war. Despite the public rhetoric, the US doesn’t give a rat’s ass about Taiwanese or Ukrainian lives. They’re just means to its imperialist ends.
