About one hour in, he is talking about a three front war against China, Russia and Iran that was predicted in the 1990ies.

Why has the USA allowed China to become powerful? That war could have been fought earlier with a much bigger technological lead.

Probably because

The US mistakenly believed that China’s “reform and opening up” would lead to another neocolonial plundering, like with the former USSR.
Outsourcing to China was making US capitalists so much money that they didn’t want a war that would cut that off.
