Meanwhile, I have warned for some time that China is a global threat to the United States. At the American Thinker today, Thomas Lifson has a post entitled The threat of Chinese military aggression even more worrisome after CCP's 100th anniversay celebration.
Donald Rumsfeld, whom we lost last week, warned us 15 years ago that “Weakness is provocative,” words that have ominous meaning as the Biden administration degrades military morale, cohesiveness, and readiness with exercises that prioritize racial strife, homosexuality and transgenderism in place of patriotic unity. Xi Jinping is not likely to fear American security guarantees for Taiwan or anywhere else in the face of America’s highly visible retreat from the trappings of power. And the billion dollars sent to the son of the President of the United States to “manage” surely bought something more than mediocre investment returns.Rumsfeld's quote is a variation on the old Roman saying "si vis pacem, para bellum," if you want peace, prepare for war. But the only way a potential enemy can view a country's preparations seriously is if the country's leaders are not compomised by the enemy. Unfortuately, our leaders, both political and corporate, have been terribly compromised by China. I expect that if China invaded, they would be welcomed with open arms. And with our currently "woke" military, one suspects that they might well surrender if Jamaica invaded. Like China, the military and intelligence organizations seems to spend more time going after and spying upon U. S. citizens that paying attention to enemies like Russia and China.
Hunter Biden has taken money for peddling influence with his father, who is now President. There is some evidence that the President is also compromised. Then there is Eric Swalwell. But how many corporate leaders are also. The Nike CEO has come out a said it. How many others are quietly cooperating with the CCP.
Go read Lifson's post. It reveals that the CCP may be feeling insecure in its hold on power. And well they should. But remember that a cornered animal is the most dangerous, for it can not lose any more. China thus becomes a cornered animal that could strike out in hopes of distracting from bad policies at home, while also using up an excess of young men. Cynical, I know, but that is the Chinese leadership.
I know it is the popular thing for some of the younger people to dis men like Donald Rumsfeld, and others like him, who have been around the block awhile, and who have seen some things, and know where the bodies are buried, and can still talk about the days of things like the Cold War, and how some of our old enemies are still really our enemies, etc. But the fact of the matter is, just like our enemies in high school, they still remain our enemies, no matter what it looks like on the surface. And we trust them to our own detriment. China has always disliked America, and wanted to overpower us, and that never will change, no matter what it might look like on the surface. And just because the USSR is now called the Russian Federation, doesn't mean that Putin doesn't want to control as much territory as possible, and to make America afraid of his socialist union. That is his goal, to make Mother Russia as strong as it has ever been, and to make America afraid of her.
ReplyDeleteAmerica needs to have a president who served in the military, like we used to have, and one who knows how the military leadership functions, both nationally and internationally. And a president strong enough to tell agencies like the FBI, the NSA, CIA, and a few other 3 letter agencies, that they can't pull the BS on him that they have gotten away with on the past 3-4 presidents, because he will fire the agency heads, and will tell the nation why. And then, follow through on it, with the first one or two, to show he is not bluffing. Reign in some of the agencies and make them understand that the Executive branch runs the enforcement arm of federal government, and the agencies run through the presidency, and he won't allow them to stab him in the back anymore.
The head of the FBI, like Cohen, will not be allowed to screw with the president, but the president will ensure that the agency has the support of the president, and know it, and the head of the agency will not direct the agents to screw the president or the agents will go over his head directly to the presidents people, to ensure that they are on the same page, and the agents will be supported and rewarded for their loyalty to the president, and not the head of the agency.
By electing a person like Joe Biden, we set back years any chance to move forward any of our international hopes, and most of our domestic plans too. We deserve better, and we must do better.
