Obviously I'm just an idiot layman, but it's looking more and more like:

1. The US funded unethical gain of function research in China to evade laws here.

2. The US released or facilitated the leaking of the virus in or around Wuhan, China. Either directly from the lab or at the world military games in Wuhan in late 2019.

3. China acted predictably and stifled news of the disease until it was too late -- whereupon they enacted draconian measures that still haven't been lifted (and indeed may still be accelerating).

4. The virus and the reactions to it shut down the global economy, fully destabilizing wide swaths of the world.

All of this to regain power in the US.

Remember - the democrats coalesced around the potato mere days before the world shut down. A contentious primary just... ended abruptly right before chaos erupted.

The flagrant law violations in several battleground states exclusively benefitted the Democrats.

Seriously, who won from 2020? China? No, they locked down too hard to capitalize on the chaos (which never made sense to me if they were behind the whole thing). The only winner in 2020 was the DNC.

I laughed when China was frantically pointing fingers at the US during the summer of 2020, but now I suspect they were right all along.

What we're looking at now is essentially Pandora's Box on a global scale. The economic reaction to the virus release is just going to continue to spiral out of control until something breaks irreparably. We all can see it coming now, it's just a matter of which domino is first.
