In all honesty, how many wars have the USA created since its existence of just a couple of hundred years? Besides the Korean War, Vietnam War, Iraq War, Afghanistan War, Ukraine War and Middle East War, what common theme does these wars all have in reality? The USA involvement of course. There are a couple of others that the USA is looking at to start if the Ukraine War de-escalates.
China is of course the primary target with Iran just close behind. There are also attempts to instigate a war against Venezuela, all on the pretext of seizing its oil reserves. This agenda extended to Iraq years ago, with Iran's oil also targeted, with raising the nuke issue a very convenient excuse.
Russia and China closing ranks is probably not on the agenda of the USA. The USA was counting on the Russians not on the same wavelength as the Chinese in its divide and rule agenda. But Ukraine changed all that when the USA pushed Russia into the arms of China. Russia and China closing ranks is a formidable mountain for the USA to climb. Now the USA is pushing Iran into the orbit of Russia, with China providing the military impetus for Iran to counter Israel and the USA.
More fundamentally damaging is the USA pushing India towards Russia and discreetly towards cementing fractured ties between India and China as well. Karma works in mysterious ways, but unknowingly for the USA, it benefits world peace.

Do we see another TACO moment with Trump giving another 90 days truce in his tariff war with China. This is just going to go on and on. What happened with Tik Tok is also clearly an indication of what tactics Trump is using in his 'Art of the Deal'. Trump can crush other countries with his delaying tactics when they needed the USA market, but not against China. China holds all the cards, while Trump is waiting for the 'hand me down' leftovers.
China is the factory of the world, while the USA is a hollow out shell waiting for China to provide most of what it needs in exchange for banana notes. Who holds the upper hand? Scott Bessent still thinks the USA has the upper hand in the tariff war. Let him continue with his highly experienced fund management expertise dream.
That 90 days extension of the tariff truce is going to give China even more time to build more bridges and find more markets for its manufacturers. And it is going to deny USA ports waiting for Chinese ships loaded with goods for Christmas to call. More and more loaded Chinese ships are avoiding calling at USA ports as they divert to other destinations. The tariff war is going to backfire very badly on the USA. In the meantime, what is the USA doing? Thinking up more threats against Russia, China, Canada and Mexico. Now that also includes India. Just kicking the problems further down the road is not in any way solving it. Manufacturing is not going back to the USA, just a fraction of the expectation has been realized.
Now, we are not just talking about China retaliating. Canada and Mexico are doing their part and causing real damage to the USA economy. Now India is realizing that if you give the bully an inch, it is going to take a mile. The idea is to fight back, stand firm, taking short term pain for the longer term gain. If countries buckle now, they are going to suffer long term damage. The EU is one example of what is to come.
Warren Buffet quote: After all, we only find out who is swimming naked when the tide goes out.
Next couple of months will really reveal the emptiness of Trump's tariff war against other countries. Then we can see who is naked after all the grandstanding and gloating.
This Christmas is not going to be the same again for many Americans.
Listen to Trump and he will say this will be the biggest and most beautiful Christmas in the history of the USA. The illusionist at work.
Not to worry. Donald will make USA great again. If not, just blame Joe.
But then, Donald will also say 'Que sera sera'. You voted for me, for me.
