Although we lost number one in 2011, we are still number 2 in manufacturing.
Then Japan, Germany, and South Korea.
Yep. And Communist leaders are expert at using food (or the lack of) as a weapon to get people's attention and to control them as they starve them into submission and/or death.
Keep an eye on the food supply. You think maybe prices are going up in part due to lack of supply, and not just high gas and diesel prices?
I don’t think China wants to kick off WW3 all in an effort to exert control over Taiwan.
We can thank Obama's DOD "sleepers" and his perfumed princes for weakening our military and undemining our national defense readiness.
I agree. What better time than now to go for the whole enchilada, especially with Manchurian Joe at the helm?
I don't remember cheering. I do recall commenting that you should not do the crime so you won't do the time.

USS Ward.
Agree. We’re not the same country we were in the 1940’s.
Our ethos, national character, morality, etc. have changed in profound ways since then.
Wokeness is our weakness.
“What do you think Russia, North Korea, Iran would be doing during the “Pearl Harbor” style attack and afterwards?”
How do you find a thousand people crazy enough to force the US to use nukes, or lose?
A thousand people in 4 different countries willing to commit suicide simultaneously...people of power. Normally rational people.
Generals and political executives.
the Laughing Hyena as President

This says more about the state of this country than it does about Harris. The fact that she could be president at any moment is a reflection of the body politic.
Oh I hope they won’t wake that sleeping giant again. His resolves are terrible.
Perhaps China didn’t read all the way to the end of how the unprovoked attack on Pearl Harbor ended

Maybe not, but China is banking on the US no longer being the country it once was. And they may be right.
Their economy is already in a tank and their population has been starving for years.
As long as this administration remains in power, China could very well invade Taiwan and we will stand by and watch.........
Astute post. People and countries tend to do things that worked for them in the past.
China can cut off shipments of necessary medications to this country overnight leaving hundreds of millions of Americans in a desperate situation. Just saying.
How is this supposed to help me when I go to the gas station to buy fuel or need to buy food for my family.

Its not about us. Its about them. The elites that rule over us.
As long as this administration remains in power, China could very well invade Taiwan and we will stand by and watch.........

I agree. We will bluster and posture but do little to nothing to defend Taiwan.
Taiwan is very naive and trusting.
It never gets mentioned but the entire chicom military is financed by the interest we pay them on the US bonds they hold.

Well that and the technology they stole from us, or we gave them.
We essentially helped build China’s military capabilities.
