The Chinese took over our manufacturing not by military conquest but because our political and business elites shipped our factories there
What are our missiles protecting us from? Are the Chinese going to destroy our country so we can’t pay interest on the trillions of dollars in bonds they have bought from us? That would be pretty stupid of them.
Are the Chinese going to invade and rule us? Yikes maybe they would order the closure of all our small businesses that don’t have trading ties with China? Ok, but Covid shutdowns are already doing that
Could it be that a big portion of our defense budget is the equivalent of govt ditch-digging programs - keeping people employed and contractors humming, simply for the sake ofpreventing unemployment and economic recession?
