No question this has our attention, but you can believe Japan and Taiwan are really taking note.

This is ok. China is spending lots of yuan on reacting to what the U.S. is fielding. Remember the shock and awe during the Iraqi follies when the U.S. unleashed stealth fighters; just imagine what the U.S. currently has under wraps. The Chinese have no answer for what’s next in the U.S. kit bag.

Our trade deficit with China is MASSIVE.

Every time we buy something at Walmart which is made in China, we finance this.

Trump (sounded) originally like he was going to do something to balance our trade.

So far, nothing. Our trade deficit is building up China’s military.

EVERYONE is sold out.

Both parties. Everyone.

Battleships, Carriers, and Cruisers are formidable weapons against a nation without high technology.

If you can see it and are willing to go nuclear, it dies. Ours and theirs both die.

"Nonsense,the Chinese build things well."

The last successful thing they built was the Great Wall.

In case you haven’t noticed, Red China is getting ready for war on the high seas no matter what the cost. And all we’ve got is Secy of the Queen’s Navy Ms. Mabus’ floating museum (plus a few new ships but nothing near what we need to keep the Reds at bay).
