It was pretty stable under Pres Trump. Agreed??

China doesn’t want Afghanistan, they want to obliterate Taiwan.

I’m not confident China won’t attack us. I know we buy too much of their stuff.. would that keep us safe? I don’t know.

Every time we do the stick to our own hemisphere, it doesn’t work. It’s in our best interest to be the Tiger of the world.

But we are bound by a treaty to come to Taiwan’s aid if they are attacked..or maybe it’s Japan’s aid if they go to aid Taiwan. Or maybe Dementia Joe got rid of all that.

This country no longer has the Will to be the Tiger of the World.

China wants it for the precious metals, minerals, etc. They have no idea what they’re getting into.

China wants to rule the world. They best be careful what they’re asking for.

We do not need to be the “Tiger” of the world, Eisenhower warned us about being as you say the Tiger of the world:

This conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large arms industry is new in the American experience. The total influence — economic, political, even spiritual — is felt in every city, every State house, every office of the Federal government. We recognize the imperative need for this development. Yet we must not fail to comprehend its grave implications. Our toil, resources and livelihood are all involved; so is the very structure of our society.

In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the militaryindustrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.

We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together.

**********************

Security and liberty prosper together isn’t going to happen in Afghanistan or any other cesspool full of Islamic debris.
