Gold. That is who we were truly at war against this Olympics. All of our efforts, all our deeds are in vain if Xi does not defeat America itself.
And we failed.
For it is Steph Curry who took our beloved #1 ranking. No words can describe the bone-deep torment and anguish at this loss.
Bah! Only fools abandon hope after just 40 failures. All the stars are aligning our moment of Xi Jinping's ultimate triumph to be soon at hand.
It is said that the knights of legend rode into battle upon dragons. Tiamat, the Undying Queen, the Bane of Bahamut will, through Xi, return to rule. And his army will join Russia to lay waste to the world... and in the ashes that remain build a more just world.
Xi has scoured the land and delved deep into the earth. Read every tome of arcane and knowledge lost to the ages... and have assembled the Rod of Seven Parts!
A city once opposed him. They barred their gates and hurled derision at him and Russia. When Xi had breached their walls, all were put to the sword. None were spared. Then we fired the city so that no structures remained. Then Xi gave the order to salt the fields, orchards and other lands so that they would never grow even a single blade of grass again. This is what I do to those who dare say, "No" to Xi.
China will rise to the podium in 2028.
