Interesting take. China better watch out, they may be getting some "nation building" and "democratizing" bombs soon.

Not exactly an option against a nuclear superpower with a far bigger industry than Yankeestan. What's most likely to happen is that the west will simply isolate itself from the rest of the world and will continue to fall further behind technologically. It's going to be a hermit kingdom of the G7.

Especially when the majority of US weapons rely on chips from China (including Taiwan) to manufacture weapons. If the government decides to go to war with China head-on, China will absolutely wipe the walls with them.

The terrorist attacks in Xinjiang and the subsequent “Uyghur genocide” narrative and Xinjiang cotton embargo didn’t come out of nowhere. The blueprint of regime change operations
