Why would the Chinese need to do anything? As long as they have Biden and the Democrats to count on, it would be a waste of their time and effort.
Correct. I think, for example of my family: on both sides, my grandfathers came from the lower ranks of the socioeconomic ladder. Really low. Each of them were, however, intelligent, thoughtful, and principled men. They applied themselves, and were the first generation to raise us up to Middle Class. They lived frugally, married solid women, and most of their children went to college. We, as a family, ‘made it’, thanks to them. Their siblings took different paths, with different results. Had zero to do with being white, etc. I’ve had a job since I was nine years old (61 now), and managed to stay on roughly the right path most of my life. What is mine, I’ve earned. Yet I somehow ‘owe’ a bunch of strangers, who, if given my life savings, would squander it in a few months and be right back to their miserable existence, broke. And this is where those pushing the notion of ‘equity’ want us. To Hell with them.
Col. Macgregor is top notch. Thanks for posting.
What happened to the “Give Peace a Chance” crowd?
I do feel the need to invoke Kipling, however, this current crowd of wimmyn derides the traditional she bear as not a real wommyn...
Point stands, despite Kipling’s wisdom... proven as recently as Margaret Thatcher.
Yeah. We ordered two pillows from Mike the My Pillow guy. Best danged pillow I ever slept on and I have had just about every stinking model they put on TV or a good store sold. My neck still hurt and my shoulders left like crap. When I first got it, it was rolled up and I told my wife, what the hell?? She read the directions that came with it. You know, those things that tell you how to put something together to make it come out correct? Yeah, I know, I have just winged it myself a few times. That is why my book cases oddly look like a sofa bed leaning against the wall!! But, after you put it in the dryer on hot I think, and run it for the time specified, it comes out just like it was supposed to in the drawing. You can beat it up and pack it some yourself and it is new every time you do that. Great pillow! Mike is in Minnesota I think. He should move down south here. Alabama has low taxes and the locals won’t harass him for being a conservative, pro life and for the military.
In case of a war, the axis of evil is nearly complete.
The hardcore of it being China, Russia, Belarus, North Korea, and Islamic Iran - yes... fascism, sovietism, communism and islamism all bound together. The usual suspects. Nothing new here.
Our second grade socialist enemy nations are Venezuela, Brazil, Nicaragua and Cuba. They are already helping directly on indirectly Russia and China against our American economical interests and security.
Brazil. Mexico, India and the rest of the global south are freely trading with China & Russia, how you gonna shut them down short of a nuclear war? Neocon insanity.
Who said anything about shutting them down?
I said, THEY are our enemies. Thats all, and I evidently presume you agree with me.
Secondly:
If China, Russia and Iran attack America, do you think it would be better for America to just drop our weapons and declare : “We are not “necons”, we are for peace not war, come and take our country, no problem it’s yours!”.
In such a situation I would say the non-neocons are a bunch weed-smoking hippies.
Was Churchill a “necon” because he was defending England against German socialist invasion? Really?
Was America a “necon-nation” when it decided to send massive amounts of weaponry to help England against the Germans? Really?
Are Ukrainians “noecons”, because they are defending their BORDERS and families against a neo-soviet-russian-Wagner-convicts invasion? Really?
I’m sorry, but “peace at any price” when Americas interests and freedoms are under attack should not be nicknamed and reduced to a word “neocon”. It has no meaning.
America is defending its economical interests.
Trump understood this.
Thats why he sent massive amounts of high-tech weaponry to Ukraine (Obama had refused to do that). Put in place sanctions against Russia, expelled dozens of Russian officials from America, ordered the killing of hundreds of russian Wagner soldiers in Syria, etc,,, etc,,,
So was Trump a neocon then?
NO. He simply defends Americas vital interests. I hope the “peace at all cost” hippies here in America will awaken, and get som balls!
We won’t defeat our invading enemies by crying “neocon” all day and smoking weed.
You’re out of your mind, none of those countries would dare attack us directly.
I never said they would attack America. Where did you get that from?
I said IF THEY DID, we better be prepared.
Japan attacked America not so long ago... it ended up in WWII. Right?
Who on earth expected Japan to do such a crazy thing when they decided to level Pear Harbor... !?
It would be foolish and dangerous to expect that our enemies of today : China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, are just sweet teddybears.
Being prepared to contra-attack them in case they attack us is sane strategy. I believe that very much.
They are already attacking (non-militarily with alternative offensive means) Americas economical interests all over the planet. They work together as an alliance to do that.
At least, we are already depleting Russias military in the Ukraine war. That will calm Russias traditional ambitions to further invade and annex nations all over the place.
They put pressure on us. We put pressure on them.
Fair game.
Wormuth also said the Chinese attacks would be used to lower U.S. morale.

This was the same reason Japan attacked Pearl Harbor. They knew before hand that they only had a short time time to reach their real goal, control of the far east.
They made two miscalculations, they sank battleships but none of our carriers, and were surprised how fast the US could began war productions.
The battles of Coral Sea and Midway all but destroyed the chance of Japan winning the war.
First I do not believe China has the capability to fight a world war (and that is what it would be if they attacked the US) and second the response from our military around the world against China would reduce them back to third world status.
It is said if you go after the King, you better kill him, if not he will kill you.
China by itself does not have the ability to “kill” the US (directly).
I think they know this, which is why they have been at war with us for decades only the weapons they use is spies, bribery, trade and more recently bio-weapons.
I sometimes wonder how much money China has spent to push CLIMATE CHANGE as since only Western Nations seem to be killing their economies in the name of a fraud?
We can’t worry about that right now. The Pentagon has higher priorities: purging imaginary white supremists from the ranks, making sure military personnel address each other by the correct pronoun, and renaming iconic bases like Fort Hoor and Fort Brqagg to something that won’t hurt anyone’s feelings.
They have been using spies, bribery, and trade for a long time. The bio-weapon is a new level. By doing that, they severely harmed the world’s economies and killed off millions of people. My point is that they got away with that once and I believe that they will use a bioweapon again.
B-I-N-G-O.
My point is that they got away with that once and I believe that they will use a bioweapon again.
China may very well make a similar calculation but after three years of being lied to by world governments (who I suspect have taken brides from China) the people will not believe the next use of bio-weapon is anything but an act of war.
I don’t see how China would get away with a second attack.
And what will China gain?
China is like a person making millions but still living pay check to pay check, they have no reserves, their government is corrupt, and much of their infrastructure was made on the cheap and will not last long.
Add to that is that China has no friends or allies and is surrounded by hostile nations that would work against China if war came.
