A New Cold War with China?
American Thinker.com ^ | March 19, 2021 | J. Robert Smith

In the last week, we watched Joe Biden box check the loony feminist faction of his party. Why, the military is stepping up, droned Biden in a televised appearance. Flight suits will better accommodate pregnant female air personnel. Newer hairstyles will be permitted, lest hipper gal soldiers decide to leave the military in a snit. Nothing frivolous here.

Meanwhile, woke Pentagon desk jockeys (doubtless, Obama’s handpicked finest) slammed Tucker Carlson for daring to be intrepidly unwoke. Carlson wondered about the absurdity of pregnant warrior pilots and hairdos when the U.S. faces a growing menace from unfree China. Because there’s nothing unserious about China’s threat to America’s vital interests and national security.

Then there’s Pat Buchanan, who warns of a burgeoning Sino-American Cold War. That’s something Buchanan is against. Wars, cold or hot, are unwanted, but sometimes hard realities make wars inevitable. A cold war with China may be in the offing.

Does saying so make one a warmonger? In this era of hyperbole, kneejerk reaction and pigeonholing it pays to confound those making the charge. One can be anti-Wilsonian, oppose the forever wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and acknowledge the futility of nation-building, yet appreciate the peril posed by Xi Jinping’s grand designs.

Countering and containing China needs to be the U.S.’s chief overseas objective now and in years ahead. Not for Taiwan. Not for other Asia Pacific nations. But for itself.

In fact, while the Washington establishment -- in very bipartisan fashion -- rehashed the Cold War, Xi Jinping is diligently building China’s warmaking capabilities, impressively so. The Chinese military brass has long planned for war with the U.S.

Could be cold...could be hot...could be lukewarm. Think of all the hate there is in Red CHYna...

Militaries prep for the war they expect to wage.
The chinese are building up and practicing for war on the US.
On the other hand our military is prepping for a pogrom against Christians and Conservatives.

New Cold War?I don’t think so.China has been at war with the United States while our government has been asleep at the wheel.

China initiated a bio-warfare attack against the American people knowing that it would not only kill a lot of our citizens,It would also wreck the economy and the U.S. Dollar.

You see not all wars are kinetic in nature.

I just hope our government wakes up soon.though at this date I don’t have much faith in the Communist Government presently running the show.

CCP to Blinken/Biden in Alaska: “Do you feel in charge?”

You might miss it if you watch MSM, but the entire world just tilted.

China is overtly preparing for war, while announcing their intentions. The US is preparing for pregnant fighter pilots and transgender sailors.

We were in a cold war with the USSR for decades. Costly in that the arms race always is. And, we blew thru a lot of $$ bribing “allies” to stick with us.
However, it did mean we didn’t trade a lot with the USSR except at a very high and very transparent level. Like wheat sales to prop up their absurd collectivist economy. We did cooperate at high scientific levels and at the UN, but beyond that not much. We didn’t ship US jobs to the Ukraine. We didn’t take in a lot of Soviet students at technical colleges. I even recall being forbidden to travel to some IronCurtain countries since my job (nuclear) was too vulnerable.
So, a cold war with China? Bring it on. Bring back all the jobs lost. Quit inventing stuff and then letting them steal it just because a SteveJobs wants to make $30 phones and sell them here for $1000. We have to pay more to mine special metals on this continent? Fine. So, crappy solar panels that don’t work in dust or snow cost more. Big deal. I lived thru the cold war with the USSR. I was a kid when the missiles in Cuba targeted my home — ground zero was 5 miles away. It was dicy only in the last couple of years when they finally realized they were doomed. A communist economy and government is parasitic. Let’s kill off this tick. That people like Soros also drop off is just a bonus.
