Retired two-star Marine Corps Gen. Arnold Punaro argued that China’s growing military and America’s shrinking forces puts the U.S. at a "disadvantage" on FOX Business’ "Mornings with Maria."
ARNOLD PUNARO: China is on the march. They’re on the march economically, technologically, diplomatically and -- most importantly to us -- militarily.
China has been very clear about what they're doing. They are building their military at an alarming rate -- their nuclear capabilities, their naval capabilities, their purchasing power. [They] can buy more with their yuan that we're getting for our dollars and bang for the buck. For example, in the last five years, China produced 105 naval combatants. We produced 26. They're buying friendships all over the world. They have more diplomatic posts now than we have. Huawei is expanding dramatically in Africa and South America. And so we're at a disadvantage.

Which Carrey movie is that from?
People that take this many years to realize the obvious should NEVER be in charge of anything.
Remember that when you vote in 2022!
Get woke go roke.
And who knows how much for Bill and Hillary for those missile secrets back in the 90's.
For old people like me, it’s the 1930’s all over again...
Except that Americans were a Nation of mostly freedom-loving patriots back then... (The WH, its administration, the NYT, and the WaPo were the major exceptions)
Also, America had the globe’s best manufacturing base and was virtually self sufficient...
Dumb and Dumber
China is a dying state. They will not be a united nation in 5 years.
Sorry General, your colleagues and Fed.gov are too busy making war on the majority of conservative Americans.
The enemy is US. China simply takes full advantage of it.
Two star...why thats a major General then...better take them seriously (pun intended).
Reminds of the great SNL skit where a panel is assembled to “Tell us about your emotional reaction and where you were when you heard the news that John F. Kennedy had been shot in Dallas.”
Each panel member couldn’t quite hear the question and replies in turn “What? Our President was shot? Is he gonna pull through? Is he gonna live?” “He’s dead? It can’t be.”
Next: “Oh, no. (sobs uncontrollably) it, it, it can’t be true. On, no.” Each one found it shockingly new to them.
No one needs look any further than the Bejing Olympics slogan. “One World, One Dream.” Sounds good on the surface, but really struck me as an ominous sign of things to come.
As long as The Big Guy gets his cut and Hunter’s companies make billions I don’t see the problem.
We have the dumbest leaders on the planet. How for decades they’ve allowed our influence and dominance globally evaporate while shipping EVERYTHING over to China and supercharging their manufacturing base.
This just cannot end well.
They're not dumb, they're raking in millions. These sociopaths don't care what happens to the rest of us.
Bust him down to captain and change his name to Obvious.
