Seems like war is at our footsteps with China. What led us to this inevitable outcome with countries like China and Russia? What could have been done differently in the past that could have changed the course of history?

Nothing. By being so prosperous and lifting other countries to prosperity, we were doomed to have them try to off us.

Bismarck and many other folks of the Realpolitik era would recognize these confrontations as inevitable. It’s what happens.

The “wars” look different because of nukes.

China and Russia don't want that smoke.

Regardless of the constant fear porn on here, we're still the most dominant military in the world. In fact, so dominant even our chicks can PIITB of opposing soldiers.

Common sense foreign policy would dictate that we should have placated at least one out of China and Russia like Trump efforted instead of excoriating them both as the current administration has done. Our inability/unwillingness to play the "enemy of our enemy is our friend" game combined with the very real weakness/embarrassment of the current administration on the world stage has put us in this current pickle with Russia and China. Hopefully it's not too late to turn things around diplomatically. This is going downhill fast, though.

China isn’t going to go to war with their biggest customer and Russia doesn’t want any part of a war with NATO. It ain’t happening.

OP is giddy at the thought of going to war with the 2 of the largest superpowers at the same time. He got his name from his Iraq/Afghan foreign policy plan.

He's going to sacrifice as many 18 year old kids as he needs to because he's the real patriot.

No. I was planning on sending you, upgrayedd, and the rest of the poliboard patriots over there to fight. Surely y’all could end these wars quickly.

When you want to defend Biden being such an abject failure but know you don't have any legitimate rebuttal points...
