Not while globalists who take their marching orders from the CCP hold disproportionate control in both US parties, cheer Emperor Xi's plan for global dominance at Davos, and control the entirety of the MSM, entertainment industry, and the tech industry. Not to mention CCP infiltration of the University System through so called "Confucius Institutes".

As an example of what we're up against Obama's former ambassador to China just went on CNN and likened criticism of China to the rise of Hitler in the 30s:

Baucus: “The administration’s rhetoric is so strong against China, it’s, it’s, it’s, it’s over the top. Very sad, we’re entering a kind of era which is similar to Joe McCarthy, uh, back when he was red-baiting the State Department and attacking communism. And a little bit like Hitler! In the Thirties, um that a lot of people knew what was going on was wrong. They knew it was wrong. But they didn’t stand up and say anything about it. They felt intimidated. And now in the United States if anybody says anything reasonable about China he or she feels intimidated. Afraid his head’s gonna be chopped off. And back in the Thirties in Germany there, it was very similar. People who were responsible uh, in the U.S. and especially responsible in Germany couldn’t speak up. And I worry that some of that is happening now. And it’s very dangerous. And I think it’s happening in part because the Republican administration of Donald Trump uh, realizes that the economy is not doing well probably because of the coronavirus. And, uh, they’ve therefore have to pivot. They have to blame somebody. And they’re blaming China. And it’s gonna be very difficult to get back on track after the election–whoever’s elected.”

Gorani: “Okay, uh, uh, be-before I go, I mean the comparison you’re making here between the, the current U.S. uh, atmosphere in Washington and uh, Germany in the Thirties, I mean that, that’a a very, that’s a very sss, you know, kind of, is it, is it, are you being provocative? Or do you really believe that there are parallels?”

Baucus: “I think we’re moving in that direction. Um, and I, it’s, I’m not saying we’re there yet. But there are a lot of very responsible people in America who know that this China bashing is irresponsible and we’re gonna pay a price the more it continues. That’s what I’m saying. But they’re afraid to speak up because they’re afraid that they’ll be criticized.”

The only way for the industrial democracies to prevent Chinese global hegemony from becoming a reality and to preserve the Westphalian system is for nationalists like Trump, Abe, and Bolsanaro to keep winning and for others to join their ranks on the global stage.

Excellent idea, they must not be allowed to profit off this.

Bill introduced in US Congress to stop predatory acquisitions by China during Covid-19 pandemic

WASHINGTON: An influential American Congressman on Wednesday introduced a legislation in the House of Representatives that would prevent predatory investments of American companies by the Chinese government. Introduced by Congressman Jim Banks, member of the House Armed Services Committee, the Restricting Predatory Acquisition During COVID-19 Act would expand the scope of the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) to review purchases by companies with ties to the Chinese Communist Party during the COVID-19 pandemic. "Our job is to ensure the Chinese Communist Party does not profit off a pandemic of their own making. President Trump won an election vowing to stop China from taking advantage of Americans. I am glad to be working with him now to stop Chinese predation," Banks said in a statement. The bill proposes to increase the scope of cases the CFIUS reviews and sends to the president prior to a financial transaction. It will prevent companies with ties to the People's Republic of China from owning more than 51 per cent of shares in the critical infrastructure, as defined by the Defense Production Act of 1950, organisations engaged in the production and dissemination of news media, or entities otherwise determined to be critical to national security, critical infrastructure, or culturally significant by the president. Congressman Sharice Davids on Wednesday introduced a legislation to rapidly increase the supply of equipment like face masks, hospital gowns, ventilators and testing materials needed to fight the coronavirus and keep the frontline workers safe. The bill would also promote manufacturing these goods in the United States. "We have seen first hand that relying on China to produce the vast majority of medical equipment we use in the US is a big problem," Davids said. "It has led to shortages, price gouging and a surge...

My two cents: the Cold War is over, and I do not think our interests are served by refighting the cold war against Cuba or China. As a liberal democracy, we ideally should be advocates for human rights and international law.

As for the USSR, I feel like Americans give themselves way too much credit for the demise of the Soviets. It was long standing internal structural weaknesses, latent nationalism, and the efforts of Russians Balts, Ukranisns, central Asians themselves who transformed their nations. Bedtime for Bonzo had almost nothing to do with it

Revisionist nonsense, yes the USSR had structural weaknesses that weakness was called socialism and Reagan saw that structural weakness and pushed on it by forcing them to spend money on their military they couldn't afford causing the whole system to collapse.

I guess you haven't noticed that socialism under this administration is alive and well. Big government has gotten bigger, fat cats have gotten fatter, and trillions of dollars of tax money handed out in a few short weeks. All without a single complaint from you

ignorant lib'ruls such as youself are the forerunners of the communism that currently threatens us.......

HHhhhmmm, thnx for your two cents.... To be honest I am not specially concerned or interested much about Cuba, China~CCP more specially..

How the USSR decomposed is certainly open to debate but it came about economically, IMHO, & not militarily-there was no battle field victory, as they say..

The CCP is our competitor, rival, adversary~ can we compete??

Can we compete economically as we did in our rivalry w/ the USSR??

I think we can but not on the path we have been going down since the cold war ended, & more specifically since 2001-9/11 & the dick & bush regime change missions/China allowed into the WTO...

While we wasted life & treasure doing so, they have been forming relationships & building their economy @ staggering rates..

whether it will still be communist or not I think it is inevitable that China will dominate the economic world.......they are what, half the population of the world........the US is currently the economic dominator because of the buying power of our consumers.........if the Chinese ever achieve even one fourth of our average disposable income every market in the world will focus on what the Chinese consumer wants to buy.....

This is your show, this is your president, this is your senate that has grown socialism to the worst we have ever seen. Trillions of taxpayer dollars are being given away by this government, and you say NOTHING. The "winners" have been corporate America, trumps hand picked administration and lobbyists, and the rest of us are the big losers.
 
The trillions being given away originated in a spending bill in the House...controlled by Democrats.

The Soviet Union dissolved on the watch of Poppy Bush, 3 years after Bedtime for Bonzo left office.

The Soviet Union dissolved because of nationalism and internal weaknesses which had nothing to do with anything a Hollywood B actor did.

The Russians survived a Nazi invasion , blockades, civil wars, starvation, deprivation in the face of enemy threats. Reagan boosting the defense budget by ten percent would have no significant effect on Russians submitting and running up the white flag of surrender. Russians determined their own fate, and if the ending of the USSR can even be attributed to one person, that person was the reformer Mikhail Gorbachev.
 
SDI — the Strategic Defense Initiative. It put the Soviet military in a state of fear and shock. A decade later, a top Soviet strategist revealed what he had told the Politburo at the time: “Not only could we not defeat SDI, SDI defeated all our possible countermeasures.

The end of the old USSR had its origins in the Reagan presidency.

And with the miserable, Communist, USSR economy.

its centered over Europe and not MAD. For Europe it's verymuch Cold War 2.0

agree/ we are much more likely to get in a skirmish with Russia in the Black Sea for ex over shipping rights.
(Territorial claims) . or something stupid like Donbass becoming a trip wire

agree again. Nations practice nationalism of hard and soft power.

There is also the alienation of the West/USA to Russia and China.
That again violates US policy of letting China and Russia merge into a threat

We have extremely poor, subpar, and chaotic leadership right now .

The way to offset Chinese power is by exercising our traditional role in international institutions, traditional alliances, and having the leadership to enhance and strengthen those institutions. That is a proven and tested framework which has worked for eight decades.

An isolationist, America First policy will only concede world influence to China at our expense.

No administration in our history has president over the deficits we currently have. No administration in our history has president over a 9 trillion deficit in less that 4 years. Deal with the facts my dear, this is a total disaster.
