You can put more meaning than any stranger.
It was the last Buck knife I ever will buy.

Article is way out of date.
So many more to add - US Senate, House, Executive (if not now in 11 days? Does it matter?).
It does not need to own in order to control.
Current repressions are China directed.
Yes, China will have the US nuclear codes.
China does not want to destroy America’s capability, only absorb and redirect it.
Hollowing out the population is already being achieved. The remainders will be all the more compliant.
The vice tightens.
The curtain has dropped.
Times up.
