  Claims that other people are propagandizing are ridiculous with zero evidence, that’s some FUD BS. Make a better argument against OP if you’re so sure.

  > And they (China) are explicitly interested in overturning the global order. - Putin is actively taking Ukrainian territory by force - Trump is threatening to take Greenland, Canada and the Panama canal by (economic) force - Xi Jinping is threatening to take Taiwanese territory by force Of all three, Jinping seems like the smallest threat to the "world order". If you're talking about economic power, that's a different story but I wouldn't call them "adversary" in that context.

    Nobody takes Trump's comments seriously. Possibly not even Trump. Putin is in a hot war right now. Xi seems to be actively preparing for one. The chance of the US sitting aside a military invasion of Taiwan seems very low to me.

      It's been, what, 10 years of Trump now. If you're not taking what he says seriously, you have failed to learn anything.

        His first term was mostly inconsequential. The second term looks different so far - especially for the Ukranians - but the Canadians, Mexicans, and Greenlanders/Danes aren't preparing for war. To be honest, I think the US military would flatly refuse. There would be violent revolution in the streets here.

  Say what you will about the current situation, at least there is no nuclear arms race. I'd say that's a pretty big distinction.
