Sinophobia, Lies and Hybrid War — Pepe Escobar

Summary:
As he stressed the importance of the UN, Xi could not be more explicit that no nation has the right to control the destiny of others: “Even less should one be allowed to do whatever it likes and be the hegemon, bully, or boss of the world .” The US ruling class obviously won’t take this act of defiance lying down. The full spectrum of Hybrid War techniques will continue to be relentlessly turbo-charged against China, coupled with rampant Sinophobia, even as it dawns on many Dr. Strangelove quarters that the only way to really “deter” China would be Hot War. Alas, the Pentagon is overstretched – Syria, Iran, Venezuela, South China Sea. And every analyst knows about China’s cyber warfare capabilities, integrated aerial defense systems, and carrier-killer Dongfeng missiles.... The US

The US continues to up the pressure on Russia and China to the degree that now the Russian and Chinese militaries are on hair-trigger. This is intentional since the strategy is to get Russia and China to shoot first so as to be able to blame the ensuing conflict on them. What could go wrong? You know, like nuclear war. This is not only moronic, it is evil in my estimation (but what do I know?).
