” ... the fact that California is part of the Union is all that prevents it from becoming a full bore police state and formally aligning with China and Russia”
Not to worry, CA and the escapees from that ****hole are dragging the nation far left. It’s only a matter of time before we are a vassal state to China.
The Cold War and Communist subversion never really ended. If you look at the Marxist countries in our hemisphere, you will find that both China and Russia are providing military and financial aid. Those two countries, and their Marxist and radical Islamic allies, seek the conquest of what used to be called the Free World. Leaders who appear inept such as Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden have advanced the Communist agenda by providing financial aid and support, including most favored nation status with China. The Monroe Doctrine is a dead letter even as we have open Communist governments in Cuba, Nicaragua, and Venezuela and Marxist aligned leaders in both Canada and Mexico. Unless something is done in the near future, the prophecy of Vladimir Lenin that the United States would fall as the last target of Communist World takeover will become reality.
