We still have better gadgets than do the Chinese or the Russians. But as CodeToad noted, a gadget is only as good as the gadget operator.
“We still have better gadgets than do the Chinese or the Russians.”
We used to. Not any more. We failed to protect our nation. We let in all kinds of spies, read: workers, from China and other nations the Chinese and Russians used to gain full access and information about all of our classified systems.
We even build the primary electronic components in China, Taiwan, Malaysia, Pakistan, Singapore, and India. There is not a single technological advancement that China and Russia do not have in their possession.
The Chinese now have radar, secure communications, rockets, satellites, and other advanced technologies that are every bit as good as our own. How? Because they built theirs from our components that we paid them to make. That was the plan all along. China bought out Bill Clinton in 1993 and products were made in China from then on.
In 1993, 80% of Chinese people lived in poverty. Due to Bill Clinton selling us out through Wal-Mart and other large retailers, 80% of Chinese today live better than we do.
Don’t for a second underestimate the Chinese capability. We have a 300 ship Navy full of fags and AA types while China has a 700 ship Navy and growing rapidly that is full of warriors that want to kill us.
