Joe Biden warns China not to send weapons for Vladimir Putin’s
invasion of Ukraine

US threatens Beijing with ‘consequences’, but Xi Jinping
refuses to condemn invasion and instead blames America
for conflict

.. . .

And what "consequences" can we threaten China with ?
Most of our stuff comes from China. We no longer have
the factories to produce enough, or in some cases any,
of that stuff or at least all the little parts and
products and chemicals needed.

Just like the Germans let themselves become addicted to
Russia petroleum. the USA let itself become addicted to
'cheap' Chinese stuff. Now the pushers and pimps dictate.

The far lefties glory in all this, imagining they will
be anointed as the emperors of the Western Shitheap.
But those who will betray their own can never be trusted.
Those traitors will be the first up against the wall.
The overlords will be named Yang or Chen, not Cortez
or Omar.

"You used to be so amused At Napoleon in rags, and the
language that he used. Go to him he calls you, you can't
refuse, when you ain't got nothing, you got nothing to lose"

Some of the Marxists WERE right about something - that
capitalism was likely to destroy itself. The obligatory
business logic of lowest-bidder destroys domestic
industries and leaves your country totally vulnerable.
He who makes The Stuff rules. Pretending otherwise is
pure delusion and both Marxist Left and Businessman
Right have been living in a dreamworld they only
imagine they control.

We can warn China that we will hold our breath until our faces turn
blue. China will lose customers if we keel over.

They'll just get more customers in Africa and S.America
while we're passed-out on the floor.

All via good biz/accounting practices the USA and EU have
sold ourselves to our enemies. If it can be made slightly
cheaper in China then close your factory and buy from China.
If Greta would pout if you drill your own oil, buy more and
more Russian oil instead. It was all logical, all easier,
and all doom and gloom warnings were carefully ignored.

In any case, the USA simply *cannot* threaten China in any
meaningful way. It's too far gone now, and it'd be too many
years before we could build The Stuff in adequate quantities
here even if we had the will - and the regulatory/employment
bureaucracies would red-tape a lot of it to death. The current
leadership especially seems to WANT the "west" to implode so
our "betters" can rule. Rule they shall - old school .....

It can't happen here ? Well, DID .....
