“The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.”
? Sun Tzu, The Art of War
If you were the emerging world power but knew that aggressive military action against the United States would guarantee mutual destruction, how would you go about subduing your opponent? Cripple their economy? Make key politicians loyal to your support. Attack their vulnerable healthcare system?
I’m just asking.
We just marked the one-year anniversary since the public became aware of the China virus that was allowed to ravage the globe. It first traveled to Milan and Rome, then on to New York City and the rest of the United States. No corner of the planet has been left untouched.
We now know that China knew about this scourge much earlier than they let on. Though the messages were lost in the fog of political transmission, the truth is, China's leaders were aware the deadly virus was headed for Europe and beyond.
As Americans watch the betrayal by globalist powers in high tech, politics, and media of our nation’s independent status, former President Trump's hard stand on China makes more sense by the day. He knew they did not take us seriously, and both his rhetoric and policies were not exaggerated hyperbole.
China is now positioned geopolitically the way the U.S. was in the post-World War II era of 1945. For very different reasons than the U.S displayed then, China is now the emerging hegemony. Of course, unlike the U.S. then or now, it is also the dragon head of a totalitarian state. So what are the lessons still not learned?
Not every world power aspires to be democratic. Nor do they think ours is the best system; please don't be so naive. I’m the first one to salute the flag and shed a tear for those who died at Normandy, but compared to 5,000 years of cultural struggle for identity, we are high school teenagers.
Remember that our ill-informed neo-con vision of a whole world of Apple Pie and Chevrolet, turned into massive conglomerates like Amazon and Apple becoming unregulated empires. Chinese suicides and sweatshop conditions, and a rust belt in an opioid crisis at home.
America, like it or not, thrived because of very specific factors, starting with geography. Once we broke away from the King’s Britain, we were separated from the world by two oceans and made it holy writ not to get entangled with foreign nations. We had clear national interests and borders.
George Washington, in his farewell address, warned, ”It is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliance with any portion of the foreign world.” Thomas Jefferson pledged, in his inaugural statement: "Peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations; entangling alliances with none."
We were largely Anglo Judeo-Christian refugees, collected into loosely federated states with Roman-style landowners. The Jeffersonian ideal was a small government—checked, balanced, and scrutinized by an educated middle class who could think and write to defend themselves against the State.
How we became a polyglot of multicultural global interests, cheap labor, and multi-national corporations without loyalty to America’s destiny is a shameless sign of what unbridled economic interest can do. I’m reluctant to say, the same end predicted by Karl Marx, high concentration of power and technology.
Today, world powers no longer fight with conventional warfare, even of the long-distance rocket variety, ala Iraq, Syria, or Afghanistan during the Trump administration. The world has changed, and so has the military. Our new battlefields are in cyberspace and in biological warfare.
The easiest way to weaken a powerful nation like America is to first flood its people with a current of shame-based, self-loathing media propaganda that makes them question their own legacy. Next, saddle their economy with an enormous burden. Then, for good measure, hit the population with an immunity-compromising biological weapon.
In no way is the U.S. finished, but we burgeoning high schoolers have to survive our launch into adulthood by recognizing and owning our learned mistakes. We must detach from these international loyalties and commitments that have provided entrée to the radical left, a cause for internal chaos.
Sun-Tzu said, “In the midst of chaos, there is also opportunity.”
America, sadly in the name of being open, diverse, and free has let in a disloyal foreign body, and we cannot recapture a body politic when so diseased. We will need to build new checks and balances in the form of parallel media, economy, and political models, as a modern anecdote.
One leak of the virus has set us back almost 10 trillion dollars. Combined with fear, it has weakened our once rugged nation-state, which now appears blindly committed to its own silent decline. If you were in China, and the self-destructive war was the only alternative, isn’t this what you'd do?
I’m just asking.
Our DemocRATs do not need China to betray us. Since their prime achievement is effing up everything they touch, they can and will easily screw us. Until we do something about it.
That something shall and will have to hurt them.
A lot.
Whether the laboratory frankenvirus was unleashed accidentally or not, it was then used as a bioweapon by the chinese. And the reaction by the West was “Thank you, 师傅 Shīfù, may I have another?”
it is BOTH “parties”. TRAITORS to every Oath they took.
Rome died by invasion, lead, and latifundia.
America is no different. Fentanyl is the new lead.
Americans were ratted out from their politicians,
to their courts who serve other COUNTRIES,
to their social platforms that did everything the
Nazis DREAMED ... for the Chinese/Uniparty Monsters.
Thank you very much. :)
“...it was then used as a bioweapon by the chinese.”
I just watched a video where a guy (now a Trump supporter) confirmed that the Chinese were locking people inside their buildings. BUT - I must admit that I was taken in by the propaganda of people dropping dead in the streets of Wuhan.
President Trump knew it, every right-thinking Freeper knew it and hell, I'll go out on a limb and say it: the damn' globalists knew it too! They were profiting from it monetarily making millions and billions off it.
That's why China interfered in our elections last November (intelligence reports say that!) to get Xiden in!
The complete selling out of this country to China and other bad foreign actors has only just begun! Why does anyone think Xiden shut down all new oil & gas exploration in the United States?
President Trump spent FOUR LONG YEARS putting in the policies that made America energy independent for the first time in sixty years -- and in less than twenty-four hours on his very first day, pResident Xiden -- with the stroke of a pen ("law of the land pretty cool isn't it?") undid ALL OF THAT.
Since pResident Xiden's reign of terror began, gas prices where I live have gone up over $1/gal.
Food prices have spiked well over 10% and continue to rise.
Don't care what anyone else calls that -- that's a TAX INCREASE on Americans. All because pResident Xiden is busy erasing every single gain President Trump made for America.
China, Russia and others have their eyes on conquering America and dividing not just us, but our wealth and assets among them. Not just talking about our money, our natural assets including farmland, oil, natural gas, coal, the whole gamut.
This is way bigger than I think most people believe, and while I may be paranoid, I think that's healthy to have at this point.
We're being sold out from within, we all know that. Are we going to rise up and stop it? (See my tagline, which I've had for more than 20 years here on FR. Just sayin' ...)
The dems are controlled by a few people that want One World Order. They have spent decades brainwashing people and getting them hooked on social programs.
Ann (??)-having a senior moment) pointed this out in a book that I read 30 some yrs ago. Wish I could remember which one. “Three things are necessary to pluck America. One is get away from the Gold Standard, Two to make the populace dependent on social programs and I forget the third.
The trouble with this whole project is it will fail. As noted china is in the wings and ready to pluck. What is unknown is whether china is part of the One World Order gang or a separate entity that is taking advantage of the weakness.
China does not need to attack us. They are apt at bleeding us dry and will continue to do so. As noted in the Art of War-diversion tactics. All their hype of taking over Taiwan etc is to distract us from their real goal.
I have read the Art of War many times and there are excellent points in it how to defeat an enemy.
Pelosi has been behind this virus with her Bf HIV Dr. Fauci for decades.She pulled the pin on this because of her hatred of PDJT.She couldn’t allow him to give speeches about Democrat destroyed cities after the country witnessed a summer of riots.Basement Biden is the Bomb shelter President.
I second that notion. I’m reading this thread because it has Kaslin’s name on it I’ve seen so many times they were excelment articles.
Thanks Kaslin.
This is true and China should be held accountable for the delay in raising the alarm, but it’s almost certain this virus was circulating around the world before anyone, including the Chinese, identified it as a threat.
BIDEN WIN IS AN AWARD TO CHINA FOR INVADING US USING COVID 19
Every time an American looked at an item for where it was made in it came from China. Now China’s reliance making everything was being threatened by a change in leadership in America which was a major consumer of those products. When Americans hailed their leaders decision to make many of them in their country US. Their politburo worried.
Worse yet opponents to the Chinese regime in power had its citizens protesting its policies , as in Hong Kong, since that change in American leadership wave the American flag and present Trump’s name when doing so. All of which presented those in power the need to destroy that leader Donald Trump.
.
Would a runaway plague created by a nation which could threaten populations of an enemy cause them to react by demanding extreme restriction of movement by its population to prevent its spread ? Thus wind up fragmenting its economy and create defeat for that leader’s upcoming election.When they released it that was the CCP intention but it got away from them and went world wide and they should be made to pay
Let’s not forget members of the Biden campaign the demons boastfully acknowledged that Covid 19 really helped get Biden in
