Also, remember we never had to use our nuclear weapons. All we had to do is have them. Same with the ports.
From the article: "China's methodical campaign to gain control of global ports that are strategically positioned to support military or economic actions against the United States "
- Yeah and if China were to try something that stupid along those lines their actions will cause the world to go into global depression, end up rallying the world against them which cumulatively effectively destroys any power it has over its own people. You can bet they have no real power to use ports as a weapon. It is self defeating. It could only be a checkmate if there are no repercussions in such action. In essence, it's an economic version of MAD and nothing we should seriously be worried about. In fact the current reality is beneficial to the us because capitalism will eventually cause a revolution in China and turn them from the dark side (Communism).
BTTT
