Interesting book by General Robert Spalding. My issue is that Americas elites werent asleep, they were busy making deals to sell the country out. He did sound the alarm though, when few were talking about it.
—————-
......Flying quietly below the radar, the CCP has been acquiring technology without paying a cent toward developing it, carefully taking control of the world’s shipping businesses, infiltrating our corporations and science laboratories, and using American investor dollars to float the cost of its own factories and companies— and then, adding insult to injury, insisting that that money stay in China.
War between nation-states in the twenty-first century looks much different than war in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Instead of bombs and bullets, it’s about ones and zeros and dollars and cents: economics, finance, data information, manufacturing, infrastructure, and communications. Control those fronts today, and you can win a war without firing a shot. It’s a simple, logical strategy. And it is one leaders in the West have been very slow to grasp.
Our political, military, corporate, and fiscal leaders have failed to recognize the subtle game the CCP has been playing. They have been operating, understandably, under the now outdated idea that war is fought only with bombs and bullets. The CCP strategy, however, is to fight in other ways, utilizing a variety of tactics. It advocates and sponsors a constant focus on theft, coercion, economic sabotage, and monopolization of infrastructure on a global level— all to increase China’s sphere of influence. Everywhere.
....
China is closing in on achieving its goal of influencing the politicians and corporations of the United States. If this happens, fundamental freedoms we take for granted— the ability to criticize a politician or a policy, to publish political statements, to report on governmental abuse or inefficiency, to sing the lyrics you want, to study literally any subject under the sun, to visit any website, no matter what ideology is espoused— will come under assault.
That is a totally bogus headline.
The “elites” weren’t sleeping, they were actively engaged in the subversion and betrayal of the US to China and *any* other foreign enemy as well.
This didn’t happen on accident.
This didn’t happen because someone wasn’t paying attention.
Our “elites” did this.
On purpose.
For personal profit.
And for their depraved degenerate ideology of pathological lies for idiots and liars.
Thanks for the book recommendation. I will order it.
