15 years? The objective of all the anti-China coverage is to manufacture consent for the increased military budget, but they don’t actually want a war. For a war to happen, the propaganda has to sink in deeply enough that they lose control of the beast they’ve created. Right now, I think if they let off the gas, it’d just be memory-holed.

You’re right, and if they do that, they’ll need to pump it back up or find another scapegoat. End of History as an ideological solution had maybe a decade of life, max.
