Subject: Re: Dear MAGA, thank you for the foreign wars!
Add in the fact that we depleted tens of billions of dollars of our own military resources while China didn't lift a finger, and it's hard to script a better outcome for the Chinese. They're certainly better off than they were before the war started.
Absolutely correct.
I believe Sun Tzu said something like "don't interfere with your enemy while they're making a mistake". A bit of irony that Sun Tzu was Chinese, and China is benefiting hugely from this.
