I understand the feelings of injustice felt by you & others whom think alike, but I am not sure if you're sending the right message across here. The issue is that you take a more antagonizing tone than that of actually trying to convince others to your worldview.
Rabid identitarianism is what interrupts civil discourse between opposing viewpoints in America today. Please do avoid that mess & present yourself with data / respectful POV / etc.
To the United States, China is a rather scary foe. Likely moreso than Russia, if you ignore the threat of nuclear devastation from their gargantuan arsenal.
According to Michael Rogers, former director of the NSA, China (and a few other nations, he noted) may have the capability to shut down areas of the US power grid (as of 2014). China could very well be falling behind in raw power in regards to vehicles / equipment / etc, but their available manpower & ability to wage war away from the battlefield is nothing to be laughed at.
In the non-related areas of the Torn forums, we see a wide variety of topics ranging from politics to movies. However, a semi-important & non-related topic remains excluded from the fray, and that is a forum dedicated to philosophical discussion.
Some philosophical discussion can find its way into the Politics & Law forum, but that would be strictly topics relating to political philosophy, which is merely a sub-topic of the grand study that is philosophy.
I simply advocate for the addition of a philosophy forum where interested TORN users can discuss the intricacies of the ideas put forth by some great minds of our species such as Hegel / Plato / Kant / etc.
I find it doubtful that Trump could be working for Russia in any overly significant way. Despite his generally positive outspoken opinion of Putin, his administration has definitely been giving Russia the cold shoulder.
Under the Trump administration, the European Deterrence Initiative (meant to deter Russians) was given a 41% increase in funding allocation as of 2018, compared to the last year of Obama’a presidency. Lethal weapons were also sent to Ukraine to support anti-Russian forces. Along with this, loosened rules of engagement for our troops in Syria allowed us to clash directly with Russian-hired mercenaries & Russian militants. On top of all that, sanctions on Russian oligarchs & government officials have been implemented (although from my understanding, this seems to be consistent with our past administration as well). Not to mention Trump’s promotion of US energy-related resource exports, which could potentially lead to some solid competition with Russian gas & oil.
Then we have Assad’s regime, openly Russian-backed. The Trump Administration did not shy away from cooperating with the UK & France in slamming three Syrian government facilities suspected to be linked to the chemical attacks conducted on civilians during 2018, despite Russian claims that Assad was innocent. The Trump Administration has also taken a hard stance (with allies, of course) against Assad in regards to the possibility of future chemical attacks, making it clear that there’s a hell of a lot more missiles over the horizon if the gas begins falling.
If Trump truly is working for Russia, he is a rather horrid employee.

The story is rather phenomenal, but the multiplayer portion lacks content at the moment. I am content with a $60 drop for the story alone, but if it’s multiplayer quality you’re looking for, I suggest you wait until a big multiplayer update drops.
My greatest worry is that of the well-being of the Kurds, whom were our ally during our endeavors in Syria.
Although, I cannot say I care too much for them when it risks conflict with Turkey, and when assistance in Syria seems to be counterproductive now due to Assad's closer ties with Russia.
