used to be:

hey soviet, usa is giving me stuff, what can you offer
hey usa, soviet just raised, can you match?
you can stay in the middle and earn.

now it be:

USA: color revolution greenland, fucks it up good, lower currency to hell, cheap labour, exploit resources
China: buys it and sells it back to greenland because they not gonna build a processor fab on their own anyway
you CANNOT stay in the middle and earn.
