Who else dreads this year?

Doubt it it's more likley they intend to play Putin and Xi off each other. How well that'll work remains to be seen.
It really depends. Russia and China have some conflating interests (combat US influence in regions that were historically their spheres of influence)... However, Russian strategic interests have also historically involved containing China, and China seems to be seeking influence far beyond its traditional sphere (which, regardless of ideology, led to them both backing different countries in the whole India-Pakistan thing). Some would say even in Moscow's traditional sphere (Central Asia and Iran)

IF things deteriorate just enough, it might work. But it's a fine line imho. If things don't deteriorate enough, Iran will end up alienating both. If they deteriorate too much or too fast, they might end up alienating both as well...

Summary please?
Trump has pushed through an executive order that punishes China and companies that support China's activities that infringe on Hong Kong's sovereignty and the safety of its citizens, then they talk about how the US government is probably breathing down Twitter's neck after it got hacked and almost certainly datamined.

Also, Tim suspects the boogaloo will kick off if whoever did the hack drops all blue check journalist DMs out for the public to see.

Nukes? The CCP does it all out of spite and doesn’t care if China gets counter nuked?
China still wants to be around afterward and no one's entirely sure how capable Star Wars is these days. It's not worth the gamble. The CCP has known that this crackdown is inevitable, Trump is just slamming the accelerator faster than anyone else would. It's now a race to see if China's own rediculous financial system or America's angry choking hand will kill the CCP first. It should be noted that choking its enemies to death has been America's favorite tactic since 1861.

How possible is it for the US to kick out all Chinese government assets out of the country?

Found this while strolling the web, just thought I would put it there, adding my contribution to the flaming pile of shit that is 2020.

I would be shocked if the doctor involved doesn't lose his medical license.
