Irrelevant.

They took over the U.S. without using their military. They used business payoffs, academic endowments, political bribes, and spies.

Say what you want about their effectiveness, but the reviews of their MREs are that they are horrid.

But you don’t understand their greatest weakness, and it’s the one that will bring them down: the fact that they can’t do it openly.

They can’t even perpetrate their crimes openly in their own country!

They should turn that same mirror back on the U.S. military. I’m sure the “reforms” the Biden administration is imposing are impacting our ability to exploit our high tech weapons too.

It’s the same thing with the deep state, phony Freepers and other communists in general. Once they come into plain sight where everyone else can see them, they’re destroyed.

Our war with China will be fought with bags of money under the table. No one will notice that they won.

When they invade Taiwan we’ll steam our ships around the Pacific and beat our chests and give outraged speeches, but offer no concrete support. It’s already in the bag.

That said, Taiwan just might win anyway. India beat the PLA with cricket bats.

Who cares whether they commit their crimes openly or out of sight. Actually, out of sight is easier...and when they control the media (as they do), the truth NEVER gets out.

They control vast segments of the U.S. and the public is completely unaware of it. So it can be argued that out of sight is better.

“world-class military by 2049.”

So which tomato-can China neighbor is going to get tuned-up in 2048?

Just as seven years after 911, the Muslim Brotherhood occupied the White House, the CCP now owns it.

Nonsense.

The Deep State stole the presidency in plain sight of the entire country and absolutely nothing has been done about it.

That’s the one upside of the ChiComs.
They’re effective at suppressing Muslims.

The PLA’s great weaknesses:

- They have no institutional knowledge on how to maintain force cohesion under fire that is HITTING.
- They cannot prevent strikes by a modern military against their homeland.
- Many of their new weapons systems are cartoon images of the real thing. (their stealth does not work)
- Their logistical infrastructure for manufacturing these new weapons is hopelessly corrupt.
- They STILL cannot manufacture a decent jet engine in numbers.
- You can hear their submarines leaving Hainan Island from Pearl Harbor.

How crushing it will be to them when they are handed their ass.

Taiwan’s strategic situation when the US declines to intervene will be similar to that of Great Britain in July 1940. Only I think Taiwan capitulates because the US won’t be willing to maintain trade links the way Roosevelt did. So there will new a major air-sea battle around Taiwan. Taiwanese forces will be ground down to the point that a landing is imminent. And Taipei then capitulates rather than be physically destroyed.

What if the author is wrong? I hope we don’t have to find out.

And their not so secret weapon: Anthony Fauci.

Or Taipai says, forgot to tell you but we looked in the basement and found a uranium bomb with Beijing's name on it.

I thought food supplies were their weakness.

Circa 1950, the Chinese army sent US forces reeling south a few hundred miles.

I doubt the Chinese army pays for “gender transition” surgery.

The Chinese lost a few thousand Chinese to Covid.

The US lost over 570,000 dead to Covid.
