The U.S. spends nearly ten times more on its military and fifty percent less on education than China.

    I’m pretty confident that most of the existing generals are people who genuinely do not want a war, they know what it will mean and they know how bad things will turn out for basically everyone. Can’t say the same for the politicians though. I think the generals will resist a war but I do not know to what extent they might be willing to nor what that might trigger inside the military if they just outright refuse.

      Yeah, the military is a lot more clear headed than US politicians. Unfortunately, I expect they will follow orders as long as they recognize the legitimacy of the regime.
