America Isn’t Ready for War with China

If china and the United States ceased trading, more people would die than in any war since world War 2. Kinetic wars are most likely a thing of the past. The next world war won’t look like the last one.

If it's not kinetic, what will they die from? How will that work?

I think the idea is "The war would be so bad that surely they won't have a regular war. So they'll do something different."

Lack of medicine for the US and food for China. Or China’s trading partners.
