It seems the war is over and the commies already won. They are just trying to get the West ti accept their new overlords with as little loss of infrastructure as possible. Why do you think Q quoted Sun Tzu so often. They've been beating us and setting the stage for decades. This is all a diatraction to keep us from dealing with the ever weakening supply lines, hyperinflation, military loyalty transitions, and phasing out the need for Westerners and their consumerism. Casualties of war they will call us.
