Hillary Clinton has called on Congress to slash the Pentagon's budget and shift funding to 'domestic renewal' and foreign diplomacy, arguing that expensive weapons systems from the Cold War and war on terror are no longer needed.
In a lengthy essay published in Foreign Affairs magazine on Friday, the former secretary of state laid out her vision for restructuring U.S. defense spending, while accusing the Trump administration of mismanagement.
'Today's competition is not a traditional global military contest of force and firepower,' Clinton wrote.

All the anti-Russia rhetoric was BS. If she really were anti-Russia, she’d call for ramping up spending on all of these weapon systems. But that’s the thing with the Dems. They’re pro every of the nation’s adversaries. The only country they’re really against is these United States.
Hilliary Clinton is a traitor. This is not a surprise to anybody.
No hiding their vision of our future now. This is exactly what it will look like when the left regain power. China has issued directives to all it’s bought and paid for allies.
go play with your grand kids grand ma....you are irrelevant now.
Earth to Hillary: you lost.
You beat me to it.
Did she get elected?
Why isn’t this traitor babbling in an orange jumpsuit from behind steel bars?
ITEM---NOV 2013 REPORT-— Bill Clinton was panhandling in China for the “Clinton Foundation”
The Hill | November 18, 2013 | Mario Trujillo / Posted by Cincinatus’ Wife
Ex-President Bill Clinton (exploiting the presidency) panhandles for foundation donations from the Chinese. Hillary...... as the “shoo-in” putative US president...... is the carrot-on-the-stick to get money from the opportunistic CCP. He had no official position or title, but Clinton was in China to meet with the CCP’s president and to promote the “Clinton Foundation.” Clinton calculatedly told a Chinese audience that a “female president” would be good for the United States.

ITEM---How Bill Clinton junked America’s supremacy---FR POSTED 4/19/2020
Texas Republican Cong Louie Gohmert, and multiple anonymous sources, have alleged that Secy of State Clinton’s private server, that she used for official govt business, was compromised by a “foreign hostile power,” and was surreptitiously receiving Clinton’s incoming and outgoing emails.
That would be China, using a company operating in northern Virginia, The Daily Caller reported, citing a former intelligence officer with expertise in cybersecurity issues and a government staff official—both anonymous.

$2 million Chinese Donor to Clinton Foundation, caught up in Chinese cash-for-votes scandal-—surfaces in Virginia
Wang Wenliang, a Chinese billionaire and donor to the Clinton Foundation and Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe, has been expelled from China’s top legislature after being caught up in a widespread cash-for-votes scheme. On Tuesday, China’s national legislature expelled 45 of its nearly 2,900 members, all from the northeastern province of Liaoning, in a huge vote-buying scandal.
The move was part of an investigation into corruption in Liaoning and a much larger national anti-corruption campaign launched by President Xi Jinping.
Wang, who made his fortune in construction and running a strategic port near the North Korean border, also has been a big donor to New York University, Harvard University and the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington.
Wang’s $2 million donation to the Clinton Foundation in 2013 made waves when it was disclosed last year because of his ties to the Chinese government. More recently, his name surfaced amid news that McAuliffe (Dem) was the subject of an FBI investigation.
McAuliffe expressed confidence in May that Wang, who gave a combined $120,000 to his 2013 gubernatorial campaign and 2014 inauguration, was a “legitimate donor.” [McAuliffe in ‘shock’ over FBI investigation of campaign money, personal finances] A spokesman for Wang said his ouster was the result of a political “purge” carried out on behalf of Xi. “They get rid of people who are not part of his team,” spokesman Sig Rogich said.
He said Wang and the others ousted had only “lobbied decision-makers” with meals and token gifts. “He wined and dined them and gave them a gift,” Rogich said. “It’s not like they gave them cash.” On Friday, McAuliffe’s attorney, James W. Cooper, said the governor “knows nothing about Mr. Wang and his legal situation in China.”
Spokesmen for the Clinton campaign and the Clinton Foundation did not respond to requests for comment.
Wang’s construction conglomerate, Rilin Enterprises, controls the Port of Dandong and processes significant volumes of soybeans shipped out of Virginia. He was courted in 2011 by Gov. Robert F. McDonnell (Rep), who encouraged Wang’s firm to buy 100,000 metric tons of soybeans from Maryland-based Perdue Agribusiness and ship them from Chesapeake, Va., to China.
Wang’s company also helped thee Chinese Embassy; there's a lot of security involved,” Rogich said. “They’re also artistically knowledgeable about what the Chinese want. There’s a lot of feng shui that goes into this, evidently — depictions of the four seasons. Certain colors are not allowed.” Wang’s $2 million pledge to the Clinton Foundation drew attention last year, first from CBS News and then other outlets, because of his connections to the Chinese government — both as a member of the National People’s Congress and as a contractor entrusted to help build China’s embassies around the world.
Wang’s political donations to McAuliffe reflect sizable overlap in Clinton and McAuliffe donors. Critics say the pattern suggests contributions to McAuliffe, a close friend of Bill and Hillary Clinton’s, are intended to curry favor with a former president and an aspiring one.
McAuliffe supporters say the overlap is the natural outgrowth of personal and political bonds the governor has forged over a long career as a Clinton fundraiser. LINK [Scores of Clinton donors pumped millions into McAuliffe coffers]

---snip .....Remember this all happened about 25 years ago.... then Pres Bill Clinton and his foreign policy team were busily arming Beijing, which in turn armed “rogue nations” such as Iran, Iraq, Syria and Libya.
......on the one hand, it did make sense to sell a very limited amount of advanced military technology to the Communist Chinese, for example devices for nuclear safety, or for certain military systems with important civilian applications, such as satellite launchers.
But the Clinton Administration was not doing that. Instead, it was executing a deliberate policy—apparently one that had full approval from the top levels of the Clinton Administration, despite the vigorous opposition from government agencies, and from individual officials infuriated at the flow of top technology to China.
This often took the form of Bill Clinton okaying the selling off some of our finest factories to China, at pennies on the dollar, and included our finest supercomputers and the key element to modern jet engines, which had been blocked for export to the Soviet bloc...

Who in the hell died and made her president?
Shut the F up, witch!
God forbid kids had to eat breakfast, lunch and supper at home instead of at school.
Her present influence (plus $1.99) might buy you a breakfast burrito.
Has anyone told her she lost the election? Or are they too afraid?
Why does Hitler want a war with China?
I am willing to bet I could find a great deal more savings in Social Welfare Program Budgets than in the Military Budgets, Killary.
There is just way more money there.
This dumbass hasn’t stroked out yet? Too bad.
