Could a superpower back the Palestinians in order to engage the US in the middle east and exhaust their strength?

@LoneVoice "They " is the Chinese, backed by the Saudis, being currently drawn into the "BRICS" group...And the chinese are already striking individual deals in Yuan..The real crunch will come when they demand something other than $US for exports to the US..And put American industry to the sword..😷

@whowasthatmaskedman That's the way I understand it as well. But when it comes to economics, everything I think I know turns out to be backwards. 😆

@LoneVoice The trouble with economics is that it is perfect, until you add people. Then it goes to hell..Its only the creativity of greedy people that have kept the US afloat since the turn of the century. But the Chinese have learned fast.. And their centralised economy means they can do more, faster and for longer...😷

@Crazywaterspring so, then, perhaps a war over Taiwan? Wouldn't China prefer to engage the USA someplace further away from China?

@Crazywaterspring And they are gearing up to lose it...No disrespect to Americas servicemen and women..But the supply, logistics, geography and sheer weight of numbers that made America a military giant in WW2 are on the side of the Chinese in the Asia region.😷

@LushMagic you do? Nobody was going there. May you need that to end US hegemony. Too bad it's your only solution in war. We'll note that! Murkan wants nukes dropped, says we suggested it! Liars for nukes, okay.

@Roundandroundwego I’m not American. I was pointing out that another potential proxy war to add to all the others isn’t going to help.
