Yes! In early '22 the US national security state (NSS) was certain that the coming sanctions would maul the Russian economy and tame China into submission. How wrong they were! The sanctions are pummelling Europe but Russia and China are simply becoming ever more resiliant.

In the US, foreign policy loyalty is treasured much more than actually being correct. So debacle after debacle occurs but the key players responsible for these disasters keep getting promoted. Dissident or anti-systemic voices are silenced.
Trump could be useful to the NNS if he agrees to invade China. Only he can sell this lunacy to the US working classes, and get them to volunteer. I don't follow it too closely but he doesn't seem inclined to agree to this condition at this point in time. All these indictments are leverage to eventually get him to go to war with China if he ever manages to win the election.
I find it difficult to believe Trump would start a war with China -- of all of them, he's got the best understanding of what people want and don't want. I may be optimistic, but I think the break is too deep between him and the establishment. Because of that I suspect the deep state will do literally anything to prevent him from becoming President again, along the lines of what happened to the Gracchi if necessary.
