Is this really surprising given the trade wars the U.S. has started with every country in the world, threats of invasion against allies, and the general lack of qualifications that current U.S. cabinet members have like Hegseth and RFK?
It has little to do with the trade wars or threats of invasion by Trump.
It pertains to a small number of countries that are agitated by lack of reciprocity; and then there's China. China being a nation that is directly supporting Russia's war against Ukraine. The same Russia that is very clearly plotting to attack NATO. Aka the China that the US is fighting a proxy war against in Ukraine. The same China that the US is actively preparing to go to war with over Taiwan if necessary. What exactly am I to expect from that situation?
