Change "Jewish" to "Zionist," and note that not all neocons are Jewish although they are "Zionist". Judaism is a religion, and Jewishness is an ethnicity. "Zionism" is a political position associated with hard-line Israeli government dominance in the Middle East. It's complicated.

"Civil war" maybe an overstatement–I don't think we are near there yet, but things could get ugly in the case of a severe recession. But this is what it looks like abroad, which is rather ironic if not funny given the many attempts of the US to effect regime change externally, often through civil unrest leading to "color revolution." But this is not so much a revolt against the existing government but diametrically opposite world views held by a divided nation, leading to social dysfunction and political paralysis.

How long before Huawei catches up in chip manufacture? I'm betting faster than anticipated and the trade war will end up backfiring in this area as China becomes a major advanced chip producer as well as consumer. Yeah, it's a huge challenge, but China will throw what it takes at it, like a do-or-die Manhattan project.

    I'd note also, Tom, that American evangelicals (the television kind) are the most hardcore of all. I think that that's because they are very impatient for Armageddon and the Second Coming to occur ;)
