I don’t believe she wants a war with China. I do believe she wants the US to unconditionally surrender to China though. Then she wants to be like Xi.

Thanks for the advice Hill. Your corrupt foundation could pay for a squadron of planes.

Billary and company are sending a clear signal to all our enemies that if SloJo Biden wins, the dem RATS will repeat the Obama evisceration of the military. China will be free to invade and occupy Taiwan, Russia can take the rest of Ukraine (remember Putin felt empowered to take Crimea and the Eastern Ukraine after Obambi stated he would be more ‘flexible’ later).

If the only way to communicate with Hillary Clinton and her minions were a single channel, I’d cut it off. Only idiotic noises coming over that line.

She’s pathetically trying to distract from all the new evidence against her and what else will be coming out.

‘Today’s competition is not a traditional global military contest of force and firepower,’

The Chinese certainly do not believe that, based on their military buildup. Nor do the Russians, as per Putin’s boasts.

Hillary Clinton certainly did not write the article. She is too stupid.

If Hillary says it, then the opposite must be true.

I spent 33 years working for companies building military hardware. Give me a pen and a phone and I could walk through military procurement and cut the amount spent in hardware anywhere from 10-40 percent without affecting the quality of that hardware. The contracts are laden with social requirements like gay and lesbian outreach, small contractor set-asides and the like. The contractors are complicit because the profits are a percentage of costs. There is zero incentive to suggest price reductions. Numerous times I went to management with a suggestion to improve the product or decrease failures. For the most part, they don’t want to hear it. As one manager who looked pityingly at me said, “Son, we make a ton of money fixing these.” And, he got a significant bonus each quarter from that ton.

If anything, I’d be increasing spending. We need to be ready to rapidly switch from whatever type of war we envisioned to whatever comes along next. (Armor made obsolete by the long bow, for example. All that armor was so much dead weight. A sudden proliferation of cheap, expendable drones might be another example. You don’t want to get caught flat-footed in a war where nuclear weapons are an option.)

We have had 4 years for the evidence to come out.

And for 4 years we've been promised that justice is "right around the corner."

Trump castigated Pompeo just this week (Secretary of State and former Trump CIA Chief) about State suppressing the release of Hillary's e-mails.

Trump swipes at Barr, Pompeo, Wray in return to Russia investigation, Clinton emails

So Pompeo throws some crumbs our way about releasing Hillary's e-mail (after complaining to the press that Trump complained about him) - but it's all just more talk and no action.

Trump launches rare attack on loyal aides Pompeo, Barr

I just don't see the Deep State ever being held accountable punished. I hope I am wrong, but I don't think so.

There's no question in my mind that her unprotected private server was hacked by both the Russians and Chinese who have every email correspondence that may have been on it.

Had she gotten elected she would have been ripe for blackmail.......

Hey Hillary, speaking of “deep savings”. Did they ever determine what happened to the millions of dollars that “disappeared” during your tenure as Secretary of State? That would be a good start to fund the social programs you are so fond of.

Just asking?
