We will blatantly attack US and its democratic allies from every direction.

To show how confident we are in this, we will send to Russia 10,000 soldiers from North Korea, drones from Iran, weapons and cash from China. Houthis will strike ships in Red Sea. China will engage in blockade exercises around Taiwan.

Respectfully, China and its lackeys

I think that's understating how much these other parties dislike the USA, while also underestimating how much China would (for now) quite like to continue to sell things to the rest of the world.

Yes, China considers Taiwan to be part of its territory, and I wouldn't be surprised by it having its own Bay Of Pigs equivalent in the next 20 years.

But also, e.g. Iran has called the USA "the Great Satan" for a while now; I asked a former Iranian coworker, and he told me that wasn't a translation oddity like the way Arabic speakers will say "Inshallah" (God willing) the way an English speaker would say "hopefully".
