US must be ready for simultaneous wars with China, Russia.
We have limited oil
Limited military
Limited ammo for weapons
All caused by one thing
Joe Biden and party
100% truth!
And more than likely by design.
Would not surprise me.
We also have our own Deep State agents (millions?) who smile at this prospect.
Agree 2020 was make the move
