Kyiv could rapidly develop a rudimentary weapon similar to that dropped on Nagasaki in 1945 to stop Russia if the US cuts military aid, it has been suggested
It’s funny how there’s a power struggle between the anti-China and anti-Russia bourgeoisie in the US. Anti-China actually makes material sense, if I was a “captain of industry” in the US I too would be afraid of China’s rise and economic power. Anti-Russia and pro-UA doesn’t make any sense at all, it’s just vibes.
My understanding is that majority of neocons do see China as the main threat. However, there was a debate on whether the US should take on China directly or try to shape the battlefield first by breaking apart Russia. The line of thinking that Russia provides China with a shield in the west and the resources China would need to withstand western blockade is legitimate. The cardinal mistake was underestimating Russian capabilities. The faction that won the debate thought they just had blow hard enough and Russia would collapse. At that point they’d get to Balkanize it and surround China with hostile puppet regimes from the west. That’s now backfiring in a spectacular fashion.
Absolutely, the neocons are in a panic that their favorite pet project is about to lose funding.
