"China is "on the brink," Laura?

You’ve been waiting for that "clarifying moment" for 30 years, and all you got was Detroit.

While the Wall Street Journal writes about "unprecedented" export controls, let’s recall who turned sanctions and economic warfare into an art form: the United States.

Afghanistan’s reserves? Frozen.

Venezuela’s gold? Stolen.

Russia’s assets? Laundered in broad daylight.

But when China, after decades of being the world’s rare earth foundry, finally decides to protect its own interests, suddenly it’s "disrupting the global economy"?

Let me clarify something for you:

The West built a system where power means denying others access, then acts surprised when the world learns to play by those same rules.

You say China thinks Trump’s desperate.

Maybe.

But it's the U.S. that’s sanctioned half the planet, weaponized the dollar, and now finds itself living in fear of every move China makes.

China isn’t "on the brink."

China is the brink.

The edge where the old order ends, and the new one begins.

You call this a clarifying moment?

It is.

It clarifies just how much the West depends on what it can no longer control.

So if there’s anyone on the brink, it’s certainly not Beijing.

It’s Washington.

Still pretending it gets to write the rules after burning the rulebook"
