If you read US military and government studies about China they’re almost fatalistic about the fact that of course a war will happen. It doesn’t seem obvious at all to me that such a war will happen but I think they’d genuinely be disappointed if it didn’t.

I remember having that thought when talking to my cousin about 10 years ago. He's a lifer in the marines and gave me the impression the military consensus is a war with china is inevitable. :(
