Trump warns Britain on China ties, his entire foreign-policy “strategy” is really just psychology: a man with bottomless insecurity acting out on the world stage. Tariffs, threats, bombing other countries, kidnapping Maduro, and yearning for a peace prize, flattering strongmen, bullying weak allies, it’s all the same pattern: perform loud enough and hope someone important notices. In that sense he’s no different from Japan or the Philippines: the louder the scream, the deeper the fear of irrelevance. And China? China just watches, unbothered, like: “Go on. We’re observing how far you’re willing to humiliate yourself.” Geopolitics isn’t a chess match anymore. It’s a manchild demanding validation while the adults take notes.
