China will give it a go in 35 years when when they're the world's undisputed superpower. They'll win because they'll just kill everyone there or put them in concentration camps and maniacally laugh at the wailing protests of the third world corporate hellscape that the US has become. This will piss off China and they will impose harsh economic sanctions on the US as they put a fleet of aircraft carriers on patrol near the California coast in a show of force.

I think my favorite story was when the government ordered some dump trucks or something and was provided non-running vehicles that had to be delivered to the base by tow truck and the contractor claimed it was never specified they needed to be functional

Emblematic of the whole war on terror really
