On Friday, I started a regular series that I'll post at the end of each week called "The New Monroe Doctrine." (And thank you all for the wonderful feedback I've received. It's encouraging.) My goal with that is to tell you what's going on in the Western Hemisphere each week as it relates to the United States. Donald Trump and Marco Rubio are making this a priority, thank goodness, and I'm going to cover it every step of the way.
In that article, I mentioned that I was also planning to launch a second, complementary column specifically about China's influence in our hemisphere and the stories no one is telling. If you haven't noticed, the MSM doesn't cover it much, and when they do, it comes across as mostly pro-China. Anti-U.S. Commies gotta stick together, I suppose. So, I'd like to come in and bridge that gap. Based on my months and years of research and my own time spent in Latin America, I have a lot of stories that will anger you about just what all China is doing here, mere miles away from our borders and shores.
For example, last week, I wrote about how China now has control over land in Nicaragua that is roughly the size of or slightly larger than the state of Delaware. They say the purpose is for mining minerals, like gold, but they're exploiting the region, polluting protected areas, violating local laws, costing the locals their livelihoods, and even interfering with land in Costa Rica along the border — all with dictator Daniel Ortega's permission, of course. What's to stop them from, say, building a military base there, 1,000 miles out from Miami? No need to cross the Pacific when the Chinese can set up camp in our own backyard. ..

You had all these smaller countries that were fixed to the Soviet test.
Once the Soviet Union collapsed, these little piggies had no means to keep going. So, like a molasses flood, one by one, the CCP made orchestrations and made contracts with these little piggies.
We, basking in our “SteveAustinHeckYeah” moment, sort of forgot that we, as a sponsor of the OAS, looked away. “Cuba is no more a threat.”, shuttered the windows, chopped firewood, and settled into a nice cozy winter.
Post-Reagan world politics have misjudged, miscalculated, and under-estimated how the CCP was mopping up, from their previous world competitor in establishing it’s brand of Communism, and all those resources that the West just might be after in the future.
