I honestly don’t understand the conservative take on undermining Russia.
GW (no conservative) squandered 2 terms’ worth of opportunity to reengage the Russians.
The Puppet is on track to repeat that, spearheaded by the Shrillary ‘Reset’ debacle.
Everyone can agree that China is the greatest threat on many levels, yet our government continues to encourage doing business there, shipping jobs/manufacturing (not to mention secrets...thanks Bill and, by consequence, GW, for not securing our network) and, worst of all, ignoring the most basic precept of all in regards to strategic thinking...
I’m not going to state what should be obvious. IMHO, bone up on Sun Tsu.
And insofar as all the hysteria about Russia’s actions on its borders and its own security & economic interests...eh, I’m just not going to address the hypocrisy. I have better things to do.
Creating a new Cold War just because the government wants it is, frankly, just plain stupid. We should be so lucky that when the day comes that it’s time to invade Mexico that Russia ‘winks & smiles’...

Who is creating a new cold war, the US and the rest of the nations who don’t want to be dominated by Putin, or Putin?
I think conservative thinking is running about 10 years in the past right now.
It made big sense to build up China, while China was a laggard giant, with a massive population ready to be whipped into a conflagration of some sort by their (still communist) central authority.
There is a massive change now though, which nobody is yet recognizing: China is now on top.
China is now the largest exporter on the entire planet.
China’s unemployment rate is far lower than America’s unemployment rate.
Go into any store in any city, in any state in all of America. Find something you like, and pick it up. Look at it, it will very likely have been made ... IN CHINA.
America was not long ago, the world’s manufacturing kingpin.
What we have now, is the Republican Party has been taken over by a small set of very wealthy globalist sell-outs, who want all Americans to buy things from China.
The problem with that is: China gets stronger rapidly, that way.
To heck with that. America needs to get stronger.
Now.
Bring back manufacturing to America.
America is being sold out, by both parties.
We need to stand up strongly for our own country. America needs to lead once again.
That means, America needs to make things once again.
Return manufacturing to America.
