I want to hear you reasons, why do you think that.

    Economic growth is optimized by beginning a proxy war with China.

    But where? Taiwan seems the obvious candidate. Not sure if that would really lead to (quaterly) economic growth though.

      Not sure if that would really lead to (quaterly) economic growth though.

      Regarding war and money, the question often isn’t who’s positioned to gain the most, instead who’s positioned to lose the least. We often don’t measure self against history and reason, instead relative our competitors.

      Taiwan seems the obvious candidate.

      The US has already manufactured consent to have a proxy war with China. I assume we’ve not done it in Taiwan because we’d lose more on trade than we’d gain consuming weapons, perhaps also because China could absorb the loss of Taiwan as a trade partner better than the US.

      But where?

      To be determined. We’re ready and waiting for an opportunity to present itself.

        Myanmar borders China in to its north and India to its west and is currently in a civil war. This would be the perfect battlespace for a proxy war between India, US vs China.

          While I know a lot less about global politics than other subjects, involving India seems like a really bad idea. Otherwise it makes sense.
