A few thoughts which you should consider. As you read this the ChiComs have at least, note at least, 8 MIRVed nuclear intercontinental ballistic missiles pointed at the United States. You may thank ex-President Clinton et al for this fact. He authorized the technology transfers that permitted the ChiComs to be able to do this.

As an aside: About 15 years ago, give or take a few, I walked into a big, local gun store. The salesperson tried to interest me in a Chinese made SKS that was brand new in cosmoline right out of a case of them. I said no, but asked him where he could get brand new unused ChiCom rifles. He said that the ChiCom army was selling their old weapons so they could modernize their weapons!

Another factoid: When I was in grade school in the 40s, Pennsylvania poured more steel that any country in the world. There was a steel plant in Homeshead, PA that was over a mile long which operated 24 hours/day. One of the sights was to watch a shift change. Now it is closed. I don't even know if the building exists.

Another factoid: You could drive over to Youngstown, Ohio and the Bessemer converters would light up the night sky - every night as they made steel. Now, I don't think that one is operating.

I think that the US should wake up sometime soon. I recall a saying I believe by the German statesman Bismark, "You can do anything with a bayonet but sit on it." How large is the ChiCom army today? Check and see who is operating the Panama Canal today.
