There are other democracies besides the US, and they're all doing fine in general. Our PM recently pointed out in a speech [1], that maybe the US couldn't beat them alone, but Aus, Japan, Phillipines, India, Indonesia, Korea and the US could probably have a good shot at it, all countries China is picking fights with, not that I think its likely, just saber rattling - there's no profit for China in a war, just loss of customers.

Edit: personally I think it more likely they'll just raise the bamboo curtain again - they don't seem very interested in any sort of cultural interchange.
- justicezyx 6y agoHow was China picking fight on "Aus, Japan, Phillipines, India, Indonesia" Philippines and Indonesia are the target of picking fight on the islands at South China Sea. I have no idea China is initiating fight with India Australia or Japan.

- chadcmulligan 6y agoThere's been a huge fight with Australia - I was wondering if its known in other countries, Australia said there should be an international investigation into the origin of the coronavirus, a fairly reasonable expectation. The result - has been a disproportionate attack - tariffs applied to Australian exports, Students advised not to study in Australia, Australia has decided to double defence spending, and sell stuff to other countries where possible. Japan is having similar disputes as Philipines and Indonesia.
