Red October is the Red Chinese in October.

Scare event? Maybe they make a move on the homeland because they're cratering and the dollar is collapsing, and the shipping crisis is killing their economy and maybe the dam bursts killing millions and then finally something embarrassing happens to Xi that sends them over the edge flying at us blindly in a rage in total war.

But they get rebuffed, somehow - a humiliating defeat. (Military planning at its finest) China implodes for 100 years.

The American people, fully awake and engaged, drop everything to munch popcorn and take in the military tribunal and executions.

Freedom from the cabal. Huge 4th of July celebrations. No more fiat, but lots of shortages until domestic supply chains ramp up, then we economically stomp the rest of world into being peaceful partners.

Amazon gets broken up, Google and social media get nationalized and eventually wound down, they can't be salvaged.

It's a good to dream big. ;)
