This weekend's Wall Street Journal has an opinion piece by George Soros on Xi Jinping, the Communist dictator of China.
It is a candid assessment of Xi's personal ambitions for China, for it to essentially become the dominant economic and military power in the world.
I am not usually a George Soros fan, but I strongly recommend that you read the piece. If Soros is right about Xi (and I have no doubt that he is), we may well be at war with China within a decade. And while I hope that I am wrong, I can see it become an all out thermo nuclear conflict that could leave this country and a considerable portion of the planet a nuclear wasteland.
One consultation for the liberals is it would likely lead to a Nuclear Winter and a reversal of global warming.
