100% this is too blatant to work in any reasonable way. This is like a nuclear option that sends us back to the stone age and basically hands the keys to the global economy to China without a fight lol.

What they're really gonna try and do is blame a cyber attack that hits China on rogue AI Agents (which to anyone who has half a brain is obviously bunk). Since that's an obvious lie, China will retaliate in some way and then they're gonna use that as a casus belli to escalate and claim control over likely Taiwan.

This won't work, the US can't even handle holding bases 1000km from Iran. China is 10x more industrially developed. The Pacific fleet will get wiped, and Trump will drop nukes (probably also trying to blame AI).

The techbros will have their bunkers, the fallout will be bad, but not as bad as everyone thinks it would be since China keeps the response limited.
