The US having ambitions to fight China will never stop being hilarious.
Right like how would that even work, they make all of our stuff basically…
Exactly, the whole idea is just so nonsensical. On top of that, China has absolutely zero interest in any sort of confrontation and have been constantly bending over backwards to accommodate the US.

If we were actually in a hot war or expecting one very soon, yes we would want to ramp production like the US did during WWII. Right now, the excessive costs of wartime production should not be considered. It’s always best to remember Eisenhower’s words:Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities. It is two electric power plants, each serving a town of 60,000 population. It is two fine, fully equipped hospitals. It is some fifty miles of concrete pavement. We pay for a single fighter with a half-million bushels of wheat. We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people. . . . This is not a way of life at all, in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.
More jobs and money for the military industrial complex. The nations true export is weapons. Got to use them or the govt’t won’t buy more with tue taxpayers money. Got to keep that deficit high and print more money!
