China's Military Turns Up The Heat

Geopolitics: As America unilaterally disarms, a Chinese officer in a new book touts a new reality — that China is prepared to rule the roost, and the U.S. better keep off the grass.

On April 5, 2009, in Prague, President Obama gave a speech in which he pledged America would work toward a "world without nuclear weapons." Almost a year later, it seems we are moving toward a world without American nuclear weapons.

"To put an end to Cold War thinking," the president said, "we will reduce the role of nuclear weapons in our national security strategy and urge others to do the same." The others, such as China, seem to have other plans.

"China's big goal in the 21st century is to become world number one, the top power," People's Liberation Army (PLA) Senior Col. Liu Migfu writes in a newly published book, "The China Dream." This dream could rapidly become America's nightmare.

These are heady days for China, flush with American cash and holding large chunks of our debt.

China today has nearly $2.4 trillion in foreign exchange holdings, with roughly $1.6 trillion of that in dollar-based assets. It's the No. 1 holder of U.S. debt in the world.

Do they know they don’t have a hope? The USA has been on one long combat op since 1942, winning the vast majority of them. Is there anyone on the Chinese general staff that has presided over a winning battle? Crickets,,,,

Regional power, at best, nuclear power nonetheless.

If the U.S economy collapses, 90% of our military hardware will be scrap metal within 5 years due to lack of budget.

A great nation cannot base itself only on military power.

How many Chinese officers have helped to move their manufacturing base to other countries, to generally put their nation’s men out of engineering and demoralize them from joining their military forces with amazonian feminism and homosexualism? I taught battle focused leadership courses to soldiers, and I’m telling you here and now that pride goes before the fall.

American ingenuity came from the old paradigm of men repairing and making things. They were more welcome in education. They were more welcome to stay with their fathers and to become fathers as men. There were no zoning regulations against small manufacturing operations in small, rural shops. Local governments were not ruled by envious, invasive hen constituents with effeminate husbands.

Avoid unnecessary purchases. Become more self-sufficient every month, and learn to manufacture something very useful and necessary.
