Under Democrat Leadership, U.S. Unprepared For War With China
Helen Raleigh


The Commission on the National Defense Strategy recently released a report warning that the United States faces the most severe and pressing defense challenges since 1945. The report not only emphasizes the potential for a near-term major war but also underscores the urgent need for action, making the gravity of the situation clear.

The commission, having meticulously reviewed both public and classified information, has identified China and Russia as major adversaries seeking to undermine the United States’ global influence. However, the commission’s greatest concern lies with China. Its report reveals that “in many ways, China is outpacing the United States and has largely negated the U.S. military advantage in the Western Pacific through two decades of focused military investment,” which is a cause for grave concern.

The commission estimates that China spends about $711 billion annually on defense, although some experts estimate it to be around $474 billion. The wide range of estimates for China’s defense spending is due to the Communist regime’s notorious practice of hiding the actual scope of its defense spending from its published government annual budget. Some speculate that Beijing might have underreported its past defense spending by as much as 40 percent.

One thing is sure: China’s yearly defense spending is climbing steadily upward, which poses a serious threat to the United States and its allies, as it allows China to further develop its military capabilities and potentially challenge the current global order.

Let the Chi-coms bankrupt themselves like the Soviets did.

In the meantime, build regional, cooperative coalitions around the South China Sea and the East China Sea.

The Chi-coms' greatest weapon are their corporations that buy foreign assets.  Each foreign asset is a means of controlling another nation's economy, politics, and can be used as a base of operation for intelligence gathering.

They are commies.  They want to learn about every facet of American society, business, politics, and economy to find and develop advantages for themselves.

It won't take a huge army to defeat the US. Take out the computer generated infrastructure, business access, etc.

It could bring us to our knees....in a jiffy.

Behind every blade of grass, m'am. Just get three each and it's over.

Re berdie's reply and Joe's response:

Over the last few months, I've been reading an entire series of books by David Nees called the "After The Fall" series.

It's about some individuals in an Appalachian town (Hillsboro, in NC?) coping with life after an EMP attack. Quite good, worth investigating. Found all of 'em over at that disreputable corner of the web, z-lib.org.

I get a web page there that says the DOJ has siezed the domain.

I've explained how to get to z-lib in past.
I'll do so again.

First, you need the "Tor" browser. It's free.

Second, I recommend that you have a "throwaway email address".
In other words, one that is not readily linkable to you (by name, etc.).
You can create one, free of charge, at protonmail.com.
(you need to use a web browser to create/access a free account there, NOT a standalone email app)

Now, open Tor and open a connection (just click "connect").

In the URL bar, enter this:
zlibrary24tuxziyiyfr7zd46ytefdqbqd2axkmxm4o5374ptpc52fad.onion

(you'll note that this doesn't look like a standard web browser URL, because it's not.
This takes you to "the dark web")

This will take you to the z-lib home page.
You need to log in.
So... use the email address you created with protonmail to do so.
(I recommend that you DO NOT USE a "real" email address)

Now you'll see the z-lib home/search page.
You can take it from there...

Any good sources about the 1859 Carrington Event?  That event is a canary in the coal mine for our modern electronic world.
