    Like panic enough to nationalize Raytheon, General Dynamics, Lockheed-Martin et al and reorganize them along the clearly superior state-owned paradigm.

      I should clarify that I also don’t think they will. America will continue to believe that it’s unbeatable until it loses a peer conflict.

        Yup. Even my liberal friends keep telling me that the “Chinese military will crumble like tofu” . This is the level of cope being fielded after the west lost embarrassingly to Russia, Yemen and gaza.

        it’ll continue to believe that afterwards too, they’ll just make up some kind of justification. “they didnt let us win”, or “they cheated”.
