Inevitable and good. I'm relieved that we are at least stopping the pretension that we don't have an ongoing conflict with the "totalitarian east" of the world.

Inevitable and good. I'm relieved that we are at least stopping the pretension that we don't have an ongoing conflict with the "totalitarian east" of the world. China and Russia are absolutely a threat to modern democracies and we have let the economic interests of the few override those concerns for far too long, with terrible consequences for both us AND their own population, which we contribute to the oppression of by propping up those totalitarian regimes with a constant stream of cash. Globalization was a terrible idea the way it was done and I'm glad it's coming to a close.
