Brazilian Catholic. Autistic. I was a far-right theocrat until about 2009, when I started a gradual but consistent leftward conversion. I now sympathize with Marxism-Leninism, but am still getting up to speed with feminism and the LGBT movement. Please have patience with this newbie.

Hoje sou simpatizante do marxismo-leninismo, mas ainda estou me informando sobre feminismo e movimento LGBT. Por favor tenham paciência com este novato.

What about the hypothesis that in reality Trump wants to "decouple" from China to enhance is military capability in a war on China?

I mean, it is clear to me that the US has little chance to compete on economic/innovation merit, yet it still has a considerable chance militarily... for now. The psychopaths running the US probably know they can only hope to compete via violence, and in a few years even that opportunity will be lost.

I am afraid of WW3. I really hope the US is so blinded by its own neoliberal koolaid that they continue to bet China is about to collapse, as Gordon Chang has been predicting since 2001.
