It's about a complex new challenge we've never faced before.

The USSR is closed off from the free world.

Communist China is already within our borders.

Link to the State Department release from yesterday about China and Covid, containing “previously unreleased information”:

https://www.state.gov/fact-sheet-activity-at-the-wuhan-institute-of-virology/

It implies something not good happened in China.

Pompeo is getting ready to close his government account. Is the timing coincidental? Or is he just trying to document that he is on the right side of history? I have no idea.

I often go back to the scene in the Original Red Dawn if you remember that movie after the pilot gets shot down and the kids rescue him and they ask him do we have any allies and he says a billion screaming Chinamen...of all the countries they mention Red China...Russia can buy all the spies they want...China owns something more important Hollywood and the media

The American farmer can win this war in 6 months. The only thing China needs from us is our corn and soybeans. They cannot feed themselves. The us ag companies must stop giving China access to our equipment and seed tech. The last bastion of hope for our nation rests on the backs of the American farmer. We love this country but don’t know how to organize.

The incoming president, secretary of state, and chief counselor to the White House are all on China’s payroll.

Actually, the “Wolverines” asked the Air Force pilot, “What about Europe?” The pilot said, “They’re sitting this one out. I guess they figure twice in one century is enough. All except England, and they won’t last very long.”

Patrick Swazye character asks, “WHO is on our side?”

The pilot answers, “600 million screaming chinamen.”

Another kid says, “The last I heard, there were a billion screaming chinamen.”

The pilot answers, “There were!”

Chinese manufacturing and their H1-B citizens here are a serious problem.

Now I understand the context of that scene, China was on a real “charm offensive” in the 80s to convince us they were really our friends, and an ally against the Soviet Union.

We were fooled.

Russia & China do not embrace gender/homosexual insanity, turning our boys into girls or mocking God.

There will be more freedom there than here in the next several years.

Clinton taught the Chinese how to "put coins in the political turnstile"...

The Chinese have been buying up our crooks ever since.

Palatial mansions in San Francisco and DC don't come cheap...

My biggest worry is the compromised Chinese agent getting inaugurated this week.

Yes, that was the line... And then the F-15 pilot, played by none other than our buddy Powers Boothe, threw his whiskey drink in the campfire...

Well, the Powers Boothe character did mention that “England” was on our side, but that “they won’t last very long.”

He also mentioned that Washington, Omaha and Kansas City were nuked, along with our missile silos in the Dakotas at the start of the war.
