Preparing for War With China, U.S. Shrinks Its Navy
Geller ^ | April 5, 2023 | Geller

The Biden regime is the enemy of the people. And they make sure the American people know as little as possible, instead it’s Trump! Trump! Trump, keeping them dumb fat, and unhappy.

The Biden Administration is being routed by China. They’re policies are enabling China to overtake the United States and achieve global hegemony. Little media coverage for Biden’s dangerous ineptitude vis a vis China. Trump will need to make the rise of China the main issue of 2024.

...

If numbers mean anything, China will soon rule the seven seas and five oceans. By 2028, at current projections, the People’s Liberation Army Navy will have approximately 150 more vessels than the United States.

Secretary of the Navy Carlos Del Toro, in Senate testimony on March 28, said China’s navy will have “upward of 440 or so” vessels within five years. The U.S. by then, at current projections, will have about 291.

China already has a larger naval force than the U.S. In 2021, the Congressional Research Service put the number of Chinese ships and submarines at 348, and America’s at 296.

Sounds almost like 1930’s Britain with the appeasers shrinking the size of the Military/RAF when Hitler was getting ready to declare war.

Don’t worry. China is not competition for us.

This is by design. Joe Biden is owned by the CCP. Our intelligence agencies have surrendered to the CCP. The DHS and FBI monitors that are reading this post are working for the CCP. I am hoping that there are a few people left in the DOJ/FBI/DHS who actually love their country... but it appears that they have all surrendered and are cowards... Maybe, some of the prefects could turn their legal authority against the traitors instead of going after the people who actually love their country... too much to ask? It is good Friday... time to choose...

As I’ve said before, I don’t mind the Neocon goal of RULING THE WORLD, as it would be kind of fun to have loads of slave-states beyond Europe, but what pisses me off is that the Neocons don’t even seem to care if they lose, and I’d rather not lose when on their battle for Global Conquest, as the results will be very, very, bad for this country (and we’re already seeing some very ominous fallout).

If the Neocons did intend to win, they would NOT have allowed the military to be CUT IN HALF from the size it was even 30 years ago, just as they began their quest (by enlarging NATO non-stop).

So we get the worst outcome possible, losing the war of conquest and likely being DESTROYED in the process. But then that is EXACTLY what Neocons do.

The US is not “preparing for war with China”.

“The US is not “preparing for war with China”.”

EXACTLY, and that’s why we’re likely to get our heads handed to us if the Neocons are successful in starting this war.

Actually after Munich, Chamberlain started ramping up the military. Chamberlain was basically buying time at Munich.

He was confident enough by the next year, that once Hitler started demanding Danzig from the Poles, Chamberlain steadfastly stood by the Poles.

No war with China—Neo-Con fantasy. China will get what they want with money. Taiwanese will sell out their own people for gold. Same in the USA. Why go to war when they can win with a few bribes? Our big supercarriers will be rusty museums before they send up jets to battle China. They are only good for intimidating 3rd world nations. I predict, Taiwan will re-join China by vote. Then become, like Hong Kong—a part of the people’s republic. I could even see Russia sending troops to North Korea—to counter ours in South Korea. World is going in new directions. As a guy in China said—WW III already happened—it was a germ war—and America and Trump lost.

China’s edge is actually larger if the conflict is the western pacific as they can concentrate their entire fleet there. We wouldn’t have that advantage.
