I get the impression that the neocon faction is getting purged after having bet everything on Ukraine. The question is what the new faction that's taking power plans to do geopolitically, and we'll have to wait a bit before that becomes clear. I imagine new propaganda outlets will be spun up to support whatever the new narrative is.
Complete the pivot to Asia and war in the South China sea
That is a possibility, but retrenchment is another possible outcome.
Honestly I'm super doomer on this. From my perspective, everyone in the US government wants a war with China, they just disagree with how to do it
The debacle in Ukraine might give them pause. The window when US had any serious military advantage over China has already closed, and China will only continue to pull ahead going forward. On top of that, it's been exposed that the US military industry is not able to produce weapons to keep up with Russia, let alone China. And of course, a lot of the existing stockpiles were sent to Ukraine. It's quite likely that the war in Ukraine may have prevented a war with China because Biden admin overcommitted to it.
I hope you're right
me too :)
