"The shiny new world war in the Pacific would deflect people's attention from the metastasizing crises at home"?

A shiny new war with China would last 90 minutes, given China's vastly superior arsenal. Then it's back to whatever shreds of civic life survived the onslaught.

I can't afford the bandwidth for a 25 minute video, but I recently began to question the China "narrative" when I saw a poll of how many would fight for their countries if attacked.

China was #1. 80% of their polled population would defend their country. Iirc Russia was #2 with 70+ %.

US was well down the list in the low 30s.

Clearly China & Russia must be doing something right.
