Prof. John Mearsheimer argues that the world is entering a new era of great-power rivalry, warning that “we’re definitely going to have a Cold War.” He points to rising tensions between the United States, China, and Russia as evidence that the international system is shifting into a more confrontational, multipolar structure. According to Mearsheimer, this new Cold War is not just political or military, but also deeply economic, reshaping global investment, strategy, and power relations in ways not seen during the original US–Soviet rivalry.

Saw an RT article talking about how many of the newer hot AI weapons merchants trying to "disrupt" the traditional Lockheed Martin wunderwaffen $1 billion a product companies basically have to have war with China. That is that their cheap products and making sales of them depend on needing to replenish them and go through a lot of them. That while the traditional weapons companies are slow, love overpricing and underdelivering on complexity and can rely on long term contracts and delivering few products to profit greatly, these new companies only have a spot due to proposing being able to do the opposite and produce a ton of weapons quickly. Thus they require and are pushing hard for a hot war with China. Worrying stuff.
