I'm speaking of course about Trump and his continued digs at China. For what it's worth it's probably the only time I've agreed with Trump, it does need to be said that China are culpable and their lies and deceit certainly don't help their claims they did all they could. But will it escalate enough to cause conflict?
It's not beyond the realms of possibly. America, often when they have some major domestic problem and a presidential vote coming up or need to get the population in Team USA mode do seem to have a tendency to start a war, from Vietnam to Iraq to Afghanistan, it's not unheard of to politicise war. China however is a different kettle of Fish, massive army, nuclear weapons, pally pally with both Russia and North Korea, two countries not exactly shy about their dislike of America.
I don't think even Trump is stupid enough to start conflict with China, but then it's Trump, just when you don't think he could be anymore moronic he starts talking about injecting disinfectant.
I do worry a tiny bit though, not for me but the rest of the UK, if anything were to kick off we'd yet again be Americas little lapdog, happily coming along to help like we did in both the Gulf wars and Afghanistan and I fear we'd be firmly on the losing side this time.
So, are we heading for WW3, or will Xi and Trump kiss and make up?
