The U.S. Border Patrol has just announced that they have apprehended over 4,000 Chinese people crossing the Southern Border in the last few months. That is the ones caught. Of course, per instructions from this administration, they are processed and released pending a hearing that will never occur. Essentially all those caught have been males of military age. These are joining the 6.5 million or so Chinese citizens who reside within the U.S. as opposed to 40,000 to 60,000 U.S. citizens who reside in China. Can you see what is happening? We are being invaded and the government doesn't even care. The Chinese Consul General in San Francisco once said that "We would never tolerate what we are doing to your country in our country, but you don't seem to care so we are going to continue doing it."
China thinks and acts on LONG TERM GOALS, while the U.S. and other free world nations think only in the short term. China has plans for the South China Sea area. In the South China Sea, in INTERNATIONAL waters, there are numerous uninhabited coral atolls, many of which are only a few meters below the surface. China has spent much time and treasure to create military bases on those atolls. China has been dredging the ocean bottom to enlarge those atolls and now they have full military air bases on them. In any future conflict, China's newest military bases on those atolls would be used to cut off oceanic transit thru the South China Sea.
Flat wide open islands make wonderful targets, I would think our military planners have already planned a strategy how to contend with what you just said. This island building has been going on for decades and it was no secret. One good typhoon and those bases would be messed up pretty easily. Those typhoons are pretty common and I remember two separate times all our helicopters had to be lashed down with rope. They both were duds and did no damage but if the path had been right it could have made us pretty much out of business for a while. I'm sure they copied Japans engineering procedures when the Japanese made an airport on a man made island. It was very ingenious because they had to consider a normal sinking of the entire air port so they built all the structures on top of hydraulic rams to raise the structures when needed. https://simpleflying.com/osaka-kansai-airport/
It's hard to know what importance to place on things, including this. In the late 1980s, we did a lot of transports from the INS detention center in Bayview, Texas, where people were segregated by their country of origin, and the Chinese section was the second largest, next to the Mexican section.
I am neither for, or against ,any group, but we are letting entirely too many people into the U.S. One of the biggest problems is that we simply are not keeping up with home/apt building and as a result the price of housing is sky-rocketing. The more people we allow in, the worse the housing problem. If I were in charge of new immigrations I'd select those with skills that we are in need of, such as nurses and skilled trades, occupations. Not too long ago, I read an article which said we are critically short of experienced nurses. It is said that we need so called "stoop labor" for that need I'd set up special temporary , short term visas .
Here is another post from Steve Poplar detailing how much trouble we are in as far as our fight with China goes.
Nothing will be done to counter all these things listed in the total thread topic, until all these worthless morons in DC are all gone. We have half the population willing to die for the half who could care less unless they find they lose a vote. We have hateful foreigners now writing and supporting bills that will destroy us as a nation. Michigan is a new mid east today and Somalia number two. You have one whole section of town now living just like they live in Mogadishu thanks to these sorry people elected that took another opportunity to get an entire group of ungrateful people as voters paying them our tax dollars we paid in to take care of ourselves and our country. Today the same is happening on our open borders thanks to the brain dead half wit and others just like him. We have no leaders any longer but only enemies who are all just raking in the money by the bag while they are in congress or the senate. And they still all insist we all pay for their daily lunch and dinner to include spirits and champagne.., If this is what we pay for we need to make some serious changes in their pay structure and soon. There is so much graft taking place it boggles the normal mind'
Microsoft has announced that there is a current ongoing hacking attack on the critical infrastructure of the U.S. Chinese entities managed to enter through a computer security company based in California and China now has access to all entities serviced by that company. This supposed involves communications primarily, but utilities and manufacturing are also involved. Microsoft is working aggressively to assist the companies and public entities they have found to be affected by this hack. I guess the Chinese want to make sure they can turn off the internet, electricity and natural gas all over the U.S. should Biden decide to try to thwart their plans.
In today's nuclear world leaders better be prepared to fight dirty and not play word games with people who are most likely to attack using nukes. There was a time before Kennedy and the Cuban crisis that even a threat would have been met with a very heavy hand. Kennedy should have dropped the hammer on Cuba when they shot down our spy plane and killed the pilot, Russia would have tucked their tail between their legs and crawled back to Russia without those missiles already dropped on cuban soil. It showed weakness by our leaders of the time and it progressed from then until today to hear that midget in Russia threaten everyone everyday with a nuclear attack. We already had nukes on Russia's door step and should have never removed them. It was a gigantic mistake and a crack in our armor. Russia didn't give a tinkers damned about Cuba and would never fire a nuclear missile destroying the world when they were caught red handed attempting to do exactly what we allowed them to do. Castro loved the Kennedy reign short as it was, he got away with everything he tried. We lied about helping the men of the invasion force and allowed them to be slaughtered by the cubans and some held in prison for life. When you do things like that it only emboldens someone like a Nikita to attempt the same. All these things were known to happen some day after the Japan bombings because there is no protecting any secret. We had a continuous line of very top secret equipment blue prints and text sold to all our enemies by American citizens and none were executed. It is the most unsafe world we have ever experienced in our long existence as a Nation. All I see on our side are Rodeo Clowns posing as leaders. If someone blinks we're all dead !
I just saw that China has sanctioned (a favorite trick of the U.S.) both Lockheed-Martin and Raytheon for shipping weapons to Taiwan. That effectively means that we cannot replace many of the high-tech weapons we are sending to Ukraine since many require rare earth metals only obtainable from China. There may be other things we need form them as well, but it points out the silliness of relying on your principle enemy to supply parts for the weapons we intend to use against them. Saudi Arabia is also cutting oil production by a million barrels a day in an attempt to raise prices. Looks like we are in a pickle.
I guess they interpreted the message "We'll kick your ass" painted in code on the side of our latest anti Tank missiles and other assorted goodies. Really they had no real insight on just how effective our systems were until of course Ukraine started destroying the Russia Army at the main center of their Defense and Offense. The only thing the Russians have managed to do is kill buildings and commit every war crime in the book. There was a time when our leaders were interested in deterring our enemies no matter who they were, then came all the millions our leaders accepted as bribes to do what they thought would be doing trade and normal things with the Chinese. These idiots that are still in the white house and government are directly responsible for everything. Honestly I can say I've seen it all the day they "not we" elected a brain dead zombie. If joe biden were sleeping in a coffin and decided he wanted to get out he would fall over the side and break a hip.
China is now officially the largest holder of U.S. farmland. Gates is second with significantly less in his pocket. Sign of bad things ahead. As I have said before, many of the Chinese tourists here already believe they own the U.S. National Parks System.
Exactly ! That is what happens when a nation is willing to sell its land to foreigners. There are some countries, like the Philippines, who protect its citizens by not allowing foreigners to buy even a house.
