Gosh, I wonder how they did THAT.
This is the reason, I decided to support your candidacy when I heard you (might) run.
I realized you, alone, were determined enough, and big enough, to actually change things. I have supported you since.
It has now been a year. Our trade deficit with China is now BIGGER.
President Trump, please. You won. We all won.
Now, please do something.
Thanks for everything you do, and keep up the great job.
The idea that China threatens our military superiority anytime in the foreseeable future is ludicrous.
If we stopped all new development TODAY, completely froze, it would take them 40 years to get close.
While everyone is focused on Russia, Russia, Russia our other enemies are forging ahead. China being the biggest long term threat.
We are so screwed.
Chicoms made great strides during the 90s. Wonder why?
Eventually the Chinese and others will be able to annihilate us (the Russians already can). Perpetual war against everyone will leave us dead.
Trade deficits widen as your economy booms. In any case, fixing things in one year while doing all of the other things that he has done, and fighting the Swamp, is just not possible.
Color me skeptical. The Chinese are simply not a very creative culture. They are far, far, far more likely to take someone else’s ideas as their own than they are to create their own innovations. Innovation is a rarity there.
Gosh, I wonder how they did THAT.
No one said the Chinese or Russians were dumb.
The Chinese don’t have to go through the DOD material release cycle. 3 years of bribing (ok paid review) cycle to get all the statements to release products to solders. No joke. It’s 30+ seperate reviews where each board requires money, time and change impacts. Many changes are opposite of each other and the military requirement.
Please tel me how a bomb and missiles can be completely safe? Can’t!
“Experts say” is your tip-off that this story is a scam. Probably inserted by a defense contractor.
1) Electromagnetic railgun or what appears to be one mounted on a ship - there is no evidence that this equipment is a railgun or if it is works or has been tested. The differences between that and the several US prototypes is that the US has not mounted one on a ship, but have had extensive testing both as hand loaded and as auto loaded.
2) High-tech warships - this may be an advantage but the are not in service and are still in sea trials at best. China’s aircraft carriers are ski-jump which means that the planes have severely limited range and payload - more for fleet defense. They are building a carrier with an electromagnetic launch system like the US Gerald Ford (whose systems still do not work correctly).
Another area the US falls down on is ice breakers - we have only one heavy breaker which is constantly breaking down (there is a medium for the great lakes, and another broken down, inoperable heavy). China is building some now. Russia has over 40 ice breakers of which maybe 10 heavy’s are nuclear powered (heavies can break over 20 feet of ice continuous at speed) More are under construction or will be purchased elsewhere.
3) The J-20 cannot preform as one would expect because the engine it was designed to use exploded and they now use an engine designed for other planes - like having a Corvette with a VW engine under the hood. This plane is designed to go after USAF AWACs and support planes, not for aerial dominance - a job it can no longer perform.
4) Hypersonic glide vehicles - both the US and Russia (presumably) have flown them contrary to the MSN take. The DF21D carrier killer has never been rested on a moving target, let alone one at sea.
5. Artificial Intelligence on subs - 20 year old technology according to some.
The Chi Coms want to control the Pacific. That shouldn’t even be debated; its a fact.
We are buying their crap by the shipload and paying for their military buildup.
And their people are here stealing all the intellectual property they can find. And working in our companies as green card holders.
We are too trusting of them.
