Simon Tisdall, The Guardian: China v Russia v America: is 2021 the year Orwell’s 1984 comes true?
It may just be coincidence that Russia was piling military pressure on Ukraine last week at the same time as China noisily rattled sabres around Taiwan. Spring, to mangle Tennyson, is when a young man’s fancy turns to war – and that twisted maxim may even apply to ageing thugs such as Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping.
Russia and China are moving into ever closer alliance. While there is no evidence of direct collusion over Ukraine and Taiwan, presidents Putin and Xi are doubtless fully aware of each other’s actions, which have an identical, mutually reinforcing effect: putting the wind up Joe Biden’s untested US administration.
What’s now unfolding could be portrayed as the ultimate fulfilment of George Orwell’s nightmarish vision, in his dystopian novel, Nineteen Eighty-Four, of a world divided geographically, politically and militarily into three rival super-states: Oceania (North America plus Britain), Eurasia (Russia and Europe), and Eastasia (China).

We are not there yet, but very close. I thought about that too. Even the Pentagon knows that America is not really ready for a peer war...let aside a two front one. China and Russia know that too, of course, and if that is happening what to see from Iran?
Liberal want to cut the defense budget, our competitors notice that too. This mean America is not ready for any war. What an opportunity for dictators!!!!
We are exactly there. The Democrat Party is The Party. Cancellation, media narratives, etc all fits.
Expecting a classic military coup, seizing the radio station and establishing the Ministry of Truth is so 1920 to 1960s Banana Republic. The Party is already in VOA, NPR, NBC, 60 minutes. All they have to do is re-do the org chart from time to time.
Redoing the org chart from time to time, consolidating for efficiency, gets rid of party competitors and keeps the state and the party in perpetual revolution just the way Mao ad Stalin practised it.
We are there.
I'm a white man. I get a lot of babes and am really cool. Let's launch cyberattacks on Iran!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
