:That's all true, and more than true. The [[PRC]] is way bigger and more powerful than the USSR & [[Third Reich]] combined. Whether the PRC is a threat to [[sovereign]] states, is another matter (and no, [[Taiwan]] is not a "sovereign state" as Western propaganda would have you believe). Our first priority is to terminate and put to shame the Russophobic bigots who began this insane war against Christian Russia and drove Russia into alliance with China (what did they expect [[Russian sanctions]] to do otherwise?). That won't be undone in two years or with the election of this or that president or Congress. It may take decades.

::Nixon imposed price controls as an anti-inflation measure in August 1972. They made him extremely popular and got him reelected by an enormous margin. Most price controls were dropped as soon as Nixon was safely reelected. But the ones on oil continued. U.S. price controls obviously didn't cover the international price, but they did make domestic production less profitable. That turned the Soviet Union into an oil superpower. High energy prices were a factor in the collapse of South Vietnam in 1975. Reagan lifted the price controls on oil when he entered office in 1981. [https://fee.org/articles/nixon-knew-his-price-controls-wouldnt-work/ Newsom in California just adopted oil price controls], so we may be headed down the same road again.
