It’s not a slippery slope, it’s called an escalation ladder.
And it’s spelled “while” not “well”. There, we’re even.
I’m well aware of the vocabulary. Trying to make me look dumb over choice of phrasing is kinda a dick move.
Again, you need to stop thinking of this in the historical context of the Cold War and USSR vs USA. Well there are similarities, it is a very different situation for any number of reasons.
It is a very different situation in some ways, but I think the same military logic applies. When the US says “competition not conflict” what they mean is “let’s have a Cold War, but a polite, orderly one”. China is building missile silos like crazy, and the West is gradually severing off themselves from the Chinese economy.

I used text to speech and didn’t proofread because that’s all this little dialogue warranted. You got me.
