trump is desperately trying to deflect blame for american incompetence onto the WHO and china. it's definitely conjuring up belligerent sentiment from westerners, who are eating it up by the spoonful.

Well, I would say all of them (i.e., Trump, WHO, CCP) take part in this madness; however, CCP & WHO should take most of the blame.

i'm seeing calls for military intervention in china now, even from prominent bitcoiners.
...
people become so rabid so quickly. just feed them a little propaganda and they become flag-waving war hawks.....

To be honest, I don't think the US military intervention can free people from CCP or other authoritarian regimes. If any of the US, China, Russia go to war, it's undoubtedly will be catastrophic for the planet. I hope the Chinese will have the same sanity level as the Russian so that no one will push the button.

Anyway, to say China will be the king after this pandemic is too short-sighted, wait until WTO privilege about developing country lifted. Then we shall see new dynamics.

it's not sure just theory since China is in control of coronavirus and making money when the whole world in lockdown. anything can happen I hope it won't affect much in our normal life.
