Isn't that just like an American prison? He's unreformed, and let out to commit more crimes.

“This isn’t going to end well.”

*****

Something will happen that will shock Americans into realizing that we live in a world of competing nation states, and we need to act like it.

I just hope that realization doesn’t come with the CCP’s boot to our throat.

If they can get us into some position, some strategic scarcity, where the US President has to ask them for their help, that will be the moment that the world changes forever.

The CCP will make sure that everyone in the world, especially every American, knows that they are the global superpower #1.

And with technology like it is, once they are on top they may be able to dominate the world in authoritarian CCP style for centuries, if not forever.

They will probably invent the AI that will kill them.

At the risk of sounding like Pollyanna:

1) Any country that cannot feed its own citizens cannot rule the world. China still has to have imported food.
2) Only the Kingdom of God will last forever. If China does manage to take over, I give them 200 years …. Tops.

The founders tried to prevent this with the natural born citizen clause.

NONE of our elected or appointed would uphold it.

Such a great job those brightest bulbs of the earth did.

The Bushes, Cheneys, McCain, Obama, et al.

We should REALLY keep listening to them.
