Actually right now, I believe the biggest threat to the US is Joe & all the swamp creatures.  China has Joe in their pocket.

Barr warns China is 'biggest threat' to US, warns of 'highly aggressive' tech plan

Former Attorney General Bill Barr warned that China is the "biggest threat" facing the United States, warning that Beijing has a "highly aggressive plan" to take control of "key" technologies of the future.

During an interview with Fox News Digital about his new memoir, "One Damn Thing After Another," in which he details long-term national security challenges facing the U.S., Barr warned the Chinese will continue to be "a huge challenge" for the U.S.

"China is the biggest threat that the country faces, not only militarily – because they are building a very capable military — but also technologically," Barr said, noting that the United States has been "the world’s technological leader and people are accustomed to that."

Barr told Fox News the Biden administration, in its efforts to combat the threat China poses, should "focus on the fact that it has been that leadership that makes us so prosperous and creates all the opportunity for future generations and provides for our security.".................

The leftists aren't doing anything is the point.  Many Americans are aware of what he said ... but here we sit.  The GOP is just as responsible for sitting back.

The assessment added that China’s "control over Taiwan probably would disrupt global supply chains for semiconductor chips because Taiwan dominates production."

Forget all the other broad sweeping statements of the article. This right here is the pinch point to how China could bring us to our knees without ever engaging the U.S. militarily in a major war.

It also the reason that unites the rest of the world to prevent that.

Which implies skin in the game, i.e. WWIII.

You are not going to sanction China into a corner like Russia.

China simply needs to be told no in no uncertain terms. That Taiwan will be defended with force if any attempt to take it is made. Period.

Right.  Can you imagine Joe meeting with Xi and telling him that?

You can swagger and cowboy all your want, but the Chinese may not listen. We don't exactly have alot of clout right now.

They are watching Russia closely as to what NOT to do as well as what to do. If they take Taiwan they will do it quick and overwhelmingly before anyone can react.

It will be alot hard to take it back than defend it, and the Chinese don't care if they lose a few million or more to do it.

It is what has stopped China from acting over the last 50+ years. It has to be credible or it fails.

Correct. And China is not the nation it was 50 years ago, nor are we.

I think credibility with China will be very hard for the US from here out.

The DNC is the biggest threat to America. Anyone that tries to deny it is either retarded or a communist.

That is just scratching the surface.  There is one version of the GM automatic transmission that are all made in China. GM built the plant,sent GM Techs and experienced line assembly technicians,and others to China to teach the Chinese how to  do it all.

I don't know if it is true or not,but I have even heard that some Harley parts are now only made in China.

Try to buy stuff like dishes and silver wear not made in China these days. Good luck!

Our capitalist/globalist banker friends have sold out the west for a few pennies more profit on each item manufactured there. They don't give a squat if America survives or not because NONE of them consider themselves backwards enough to be Americans. They consider themselves to be citizens of the world,and LEADING citizens of the world to boot.

How freaking ironic is it that it is the international bankers that are giving the communists their marching orders?

They care a LOT about losing just a few thousand,if those few thousand are the people in leadership positions and their families.

China is basically a Mafia Family that "looks funny". Take out the leadership ,and you are left with a population that will just wander around in circles,trying to figure out what to do because they have never been allowed to do any thinking for themselves,for several generations.

It is nothing less than a police state.
