Sure, on paper they are *scary word* Communists, but anyone who's been there will let you know that they are probably more Capitalistic than the US.

If I were President tomorrow, Russia and China would be huge allies within a week.

IMO, the only reason to go to war with China is over AI supremacy. Most people don't understand what is at stake on this front and control of AI may just be important enough to completely wipe out all other competitors. I understand that sounds crazy and harsh, but if someone makes the wrong decisions around AI, it may lead to the downfall of the human populace. Outside of that, we should be partnering with China to control the Globe.
