    I didn’t mean it is a good thing. I meant that the powers in charge would need a type of enemy like the USSR was to us in a Cold War. Allows us to increase military spending to keep the endless wars and military industrial complex booming. We would be able to take new territories or coup existing ones into our sphere of influence. But since US manufacturing has waaaaay more production done in China than anything we really had with the USSR, I’m not sure how that plays into it.
