Let's say they do plan on nuking something.
Okay, let's think about targets.
What happens when you've invested too much into low-income residential properties and can't get anyone to live in them (Evergrande, for example)?
Well, one way out is arson/fraud, right? It's an age-old scam done to collect on insurance money.
So, just chuck a nuke at one of those ghost cities, Evergrande collects on the insurance money and pays off its sickeningly entrenched debts, and now China has entered the chat.
There ya go!
China gets to point the finger at anyone they want, claim that "millions perished" without having to show proof because "radiation so dangerous, no can check on body count" and we've got our WW3 Pearl Harbor all geared up to get the reds involved in kinetic warfare.
The CCP =/= China, one must keep in mind. If Putin is working with Xi, as some have suspected, the CCP might have an interest in pulling this trick to turn the boat against the man who rides bears.
Just a theory.
Pretty much how the scam on 9/11 was carried out concerning the destruction of the twin towers and the insurance payout. This sounds like a very doable operation and we know there is historical evidence that this has happened to start wars and sow discord and distrust around the world. I must say, you take some very thought provoking showers.
Very interesting.
Why China?
Because they're the ones with the ghost cities of millions of apartments that are completely empty.
Banks in China invested in real estate with their citizen's money. All banks invest in something, that's how they make money.
But in China, people didn't have any say in where their retirement and savings investments ended up, and the only thing in China worth investing in was real estate.
The CCP realized too late that building a shit-ton of residential apartments enough to house a population close to Texas was not an investment that could EVER pay out. One-child policy and all. Real estate is worthless if no one is living there. It's not even land investment; they were skyscrapers and such.
They then trampled their own rural populations and tried to force their own farmers to live in these cities and work the factories and it failed. Now they have to buy up all the land in the United States and have us farm their food for them while their former farmers die in a ditch because they refuse to adapt to a factory job.
So, now there sits massive cities in China and the only people who live there are the ones making sure the apartments don't get infested with tons of pests. Practically no one outside of maintenance lives in those places.
Evergrande is going bust, it's official, because they over-invested in something that has an illusory value. You'd figure Real Estate is an evergreen investment, but in reality building a shit-ton of apartments will not a city make.
They need to recoup on the losses, and are already selling the land and demolishing COMPLETLEY 100% unlived in apartment complexes and selling the scrap.
Instead, I'm suggesting there is ample opportunity for insurance fraud if they just permit a nuke to take out all the structures and leverage the fallout on the global stage to get relief funds from the endless pockets of the Federal Reserve.
Yep. These ghost cites are a huge problem for the owners, Chinese banks, and the CCP.
How weird would it be to be the pest control guy all alone in a city. I hope he has the nicest apartment with the nicest view.
