The sad part is the current situation was arrived at not out of necessity, but out of US political expediency; Trump and the minions needed a bogeyman to make it seem there was some actual imminent threat to be dealt with as a justification for actions serving their political goals and as a sort of rallying point for their core support; Russia was a no-go since Putin apparently has Donnie's nose firmly Vlad's butt; North Korea didn't really pan out because Trump is easily assuaged by flattering "perfect' letters from Kim; Cuba nobody really cares about and ditto with Venezuela and other Latin American countries and leaders; all that's really left is China to rattle sabers at and to which shake a tiny fist, so they were the lucky faux 'foe'; if you look carefully at all the actions taken by Trump directed at China, little to nothing has been gained and much has gotten worse...
