“Thank you for sharing your story about your family. It sounds horrific and yet another testimony to the evils of Communism and “progressive” thought.”
1) They will ALWAYS spy on you for both national defense and industrial reasons...so just have the necessary resources to deal with that.
2) They are primarily interested in one thing above all else - feeling secure that they will be left alone for a long time. So long as you don’t really threaten them, you’re OK.
3) They despise weakness - so DO have a strong national defense with large amounts of equipment (they love large numbers, and respect it in others).
4) Don’t knife them in the back.
5) Understand that part of their national psyche is to deal rather brutally with dissent, with criminals and with threats to their nation. We’re not going to change them, so we should not harbor any illusions about doing so, nor waste any resources in that area. They are different, that’s all.
These are relatively simple facts/rules, which any person SHOULD be able to figure out. I would think that any President who doesn’t have his head in the clouds (or up his rectum) would know and understand this, and certainly he will find large numbers of people who can give similar advice backed up with a lot more facts and analysis.
A good summary.
