I wonder why..!!
Now they are approaching equity on Air Force quality.
Now I do not have a military background. But I pay attention to China.
Everyone acquiring things in America, seems to be 100% locked into China.
We need to make things in America once again.
Sold out to China is the project by the bipartisan, globalist elites, starting from Bush senior to Clinton, GW Bush and moron Obama.
But Trump tariffs are meeeeean! /sarc
I never thought it was a good idea to go to China and teach them how to make things using modern manufacturing techniques.
Yes, well, in a lot of cases it is OUR OWN STUFF..!
Let's see. I can buy a widget made in China that will last nine years for $14. Or I can buy a similar widget made in the USA that will last 10 years for $59. Whatever shall I do.
I saw this coming years ago. Unfortunately, most politicians can’t see beyond the next election. Others sell us out on purpose.
It is like watching Nazi Germany re-arm.
My only consolation is that you can’t fight a World War in the nuclear age without total annihilation. So I am not worried at all about China trying to invade the USA.
What terrifies me is, how far do we let China go before we feel we have to go nuclear.
Say China invades Taiwan. Are we really going to send 2 carrier groups to Taiwan to liberate it from the Chinese? Are we really going to allow US sailors and airmen to engage in combat against Chinese sailors and airmen? Likely not. We are probably just going to sit back and take it.
If China had a weak military, then we might check them and hope they don’t use nuclear weapons. But if China can give us as good as they get, it is too high a cost to stop them from taking Taiwan.
So what happens when that escalates and China grabs other islands?
Do we draw the line when China takes Japan and go full on conventional naval air war then? Do we push the nuclear button as a warning and hope we can wipe out enough of their nuclear sites fast enough that they don’t destroy more than 20 or 30 percent of America.
China will go on a war of Asian conquest, and I don’t see who is going to be able to stop them in the nuclear era. No they won’t attack us, but they can expand a massive Chinese empire militarily and nobody is going to have the guts to oppose them.
This is flat terrifying. I pray to the Lord I am in the grave or in heaven before this comes to pass. In fact, it could very well be that a war of Chinese conquest is the event that triggers the Second Coming of Christ and that nuclear button starts all that chaffe being separated from the wheat.
If I think about this too long, I won’t be able to sleep tonight.
The really BEST thing about this is, China has watched us forever, and they have learned that an economic Empire is much more fruitful than a territorial one. So they may well be emulating us. Build an overwhelming world-wide economic Empire, but be sure to have the overwhelming military might necessary to project the political power you need to maintain that economic Empire.
They ain’t stupid.
I wonder why..!!
Their hardware is better than ours, they don’t have kill switches in every chip.
There are 4 countries that have historical rivalries with China in Asia. Forget Russia. The remaining 3 are India, Japan and Vietnam. These countries are key to containing China. China will skirmish with India but won’t risk nuclear war with India by escalation. The other 2 must 1. develop their own sophisticated nuclear arsenal. And 2, have solid plans to deny China air superiority over any potential warzone. If neither Japan or Vietnam do this, they will be toast.
Too many people, from all political backgrounds, have made a fortune from selling out communist china. This has gone on since before the 1990’s, and possibly further back. That is all this is about: making a shitload of cash, consequences be damned.
I see that mentality a lot here on FR, along with all of the flimsy excuses tossed out their to justify their actions. The chinese don’t make just cheap crap anymore, they make just about ALL of our comsumer and industrial products now, either in whole, or partial content.
And this isn’t just an American problem. China has worked its way into being a sole source producer through acquisition of industries and IP.
Like you said, we were sold out. And now, the chinese own us.
