Taiwan is NOT an ally. We supply them with arms. They supply us with tech items. We have no diplomatic relation with them.

In the meantime, let's get the techy items they supply become Made In America items. Stop playing their game.

See? I knew playing Fallout Shelter would work.

Just gotta figure out how to build those underground nuclear power plants, water purification systems and build a few Mr. Handy robots.

Oh, and I’ll need several dozen Vengeance Gatling Lasers.

The restaurants will produce food, magically.

This should make Joe & Hunter Biden the two richest traitors in the United States.

I guess it’s good to know which side of your bread to butter . . .

What a novel way to run a country, while involved in a war in Ukraine over Russia, risking a much larger war in the process and depleting our stockpiles of weapons, we are told to get ready for a war with China.

Now that is the stuff of a Tom Clancy novel.

So, is this the next scare? I have NO clue where this China war stuff came from in recent days. I smell a rat in this idea.

There is zero chance that the US will fire a shot over Taiwan, which we have agreed is part of China since 1973.

Zero.

But before there can be conflict, China must recover from the current catastrophe killing and disabling untold numbers and destroying the economy.

At present, China can’t keep up with the onslaught of needed cremations and a shortage of cremation urns and body bags. People are leaving their jobs because they have not been paid in months because the companies they work for have essentially failed and can’t borrow from banks that are indebted beyond belief.

Hell, the Ukes and the Afghans are probably selling our donated arms to China to use against us.

If this Air Force General is correct, the Chinese will probably some of the oil we sold them to attack us, just because we could make a buck off it.

Paraphrasing a comment I think made by Nikita Khrushchev that he would sell us the rope we would hang ourselves with.

The world is going to hell in a handbasket. Do you think the psychos want to end it all now because they know they have committed so many crimes against humanity that the only way out is the Jim Jones’ route - escape from being held accountable by committing suicide along with the entire population?
