how this guy made his way into the white house in the first place is beyond me



i find these statements highly interesting since he is a guy who believes in "historical cycles" and that a big american war in the very near future is inevitable (just check his wiki article with his quotes)


Yeah it is amazing anybody voted for Trump.

I think this is what is most scary. When China's economic bubble inevitably pops, which I think will happen for the EXACT reason you stated, a graying of their age gap drastically larger than the USA's, you'll see their economic growth come to a halt and when their back is against the wall they may have little choice than war. When economic powerhouses falter, war is typically what gets their economic status back on track.


wouldn't war kill off more of their younglings?

He's dead on about China, but the irony is that he was instrumental in giving China the massive advantage they hold over us today by getting Trump elected and all the things he did that were deeply beneficial to China (like killing the TPP and pushing away Iran, both things that China probably can't believe we (Trump) were (was) stupid enough to do). Laughing their way to the bank.

The world is quickly moving towards the stable, reliable nation of China rather than the tumultuous, bipolar nation of the US that every 4-8 years changes its mind about everything, and every 12-16 or so years elects an incompetent, uninformed buffoon (W. Bush, Trump the most recent examples).
