China Threat [1]

So, maybe it hasn’t been communicated all that well over the years, but for us “old schoolers” we know that the goal of China is world domination. It always has been and it always will be unless something inside the country shifts the paradigm. But, for now, that is their goal and they are moving expeditiously towards it. They are investing heavily in their military and they structure their culture so that the people are indoctrinated into state allegiance. They move on any attempt to establish any form of religious institutions that might challenge the dominance of the state. They work feverishly to steal American intelligence and innovation so they can shorten their R.& D curve. They consider the United States their primary adversary and we are.

And then along comes the MAGA crowd and their guru. Their international finance guys appears last night on 60 minutes and explains the theory of tariffs and the threat of China. He seems quite informed and convincing. Talks a mile a minute and has all types of conservative ideology answers and explanations. Then he is asked what happens if the tariffs don’t work and he says that after 10 years we will just have to revert back to the system that hasn’t worked before this new approach.

For all our MAGA friends and those with MAGA and Republican associations, here’s a question: When China decides to come for us, who is going to stand with us after the orange guru shreds them in his America First brilliance??? Are they going to spend billions on an iron dome and increased military spending to pursue domination over all other approaches? Okay. So, are they assuming that we are going to be able to defeat China alone? Are they convinced that with the brilliance and expertise that they are incorporating into our institutions that we will be fully capable of taking on a war of this magnitude with what they are currently formulating?? Do we have sufficient forces and moral to contemplate a war of this magnitude? Will eliminating woke solve this problem?

This may sound like I am being a hater, but that is not the case. I am seeing reality as I believe that it is. We don’t have the people in the younger generation to fulfill the jobs that the immigrants are currently performing and I doubt that we have sufficient numbers of young cage fighters to match the might of the masses of Chinese military forces who have been brainwashed into state allegiance. The entitlement argument probably has some legs, but it goes a lot further than that. There is no way that we would have won WWI or II with what we have now and we are not doing anything to improve on the situation. In fact, we are diminishing our resources and destroying the infrastructure needed to provide an adequate front against an army of China’s size and professionalism. Basically, we are fucked and apparently we like it. Good luck, kids. This ain’t a video game. Damn, if eggs were just cheaper!!!
