"Not just him but add to that every U.S. corporation willing to send billions upon billions of dollars there for cheap labor."
Not just Slick 50 or the Carporations (as Maggie Thatcher would say), but a lot of people on this side (but not this thread, yet). I've been screaming the same warning for months here and get shot down by otherwise conservative Republicans saying, in effect, that since we are America, we have nothing to worry about - so why bother trying to look strong. Daaaaa.
This is an example, just from the past 2 days. Note the anti-US rhetoric being used by people on our side (comments to the effect that we can't afford any more nukes).

Unfortunately, just like the Cold War, it's up to us to play Daddy, and provide for this country's defenses, regardless of the childish behavior of the left. But if we're unable to do that (i.e., recognize an enemy [i.e., China] and deal with them), then we lose. And that's a bummer for my kids.
