    China is the biggest trading partner for the majority of the world, and it’s an industrial juggernaut. That’s what an actual superpower looks like. Meanwhile, we know that US has been running around pulling artillery shells from South Korea and Israel last year, and that the entire US production capacity for shells is far below the rate of fire in Ukraine. These are basic facts openly acknowledged by US officials. If US can’t even produce basic shit like artillery shells, it’s not capable of engaging in any serious conflict.
