    While speaking to the Hudson Institute in Washington, FBI Director Christopher Wray confirmed what New Europe has been concerned about, saying that acts of espionage and theft by China’s government pose the “greatest long-term threat” to the future of the US.

    The greatest long term threat is a self inflicted wound. China is just the finger pushing on the raw wound.

    This should rightfully be a litmus test....Anyone who claims to not understand that China is Americas biggest problem is not worth listening too...either on the grounds of ignorance or lying.... And does it even matter what the problem is with those who completely fail us I ask.....
    This illegal illegitimate regime that runs America is at fault...not me.... they do not represent me and I have long objected to their crimes against humanity.

    Morons like Monshi'ite come on here virtually daily, telling all and sundry how despotic Israel is and engaged in genocide. If that's the case, then they are the most useless genocidists ever, as the Palestine population has gone from over a million in 1950 to just over five million today! Yet they give passes to both Iran and China, totally ignoring their vast human rights abuses. You'll never see anybody on the Left calling out China for their wholesale slaughter of Uighurs, I am totally mystified as to why that is. Even Jack who was constantly harping on about Khashoggi has taken an oath of Omerta on the subject.

    lol.. i bet that was painful to write.
    you finally had to give Trump credit even if it is a backhanded compliment.

    Trump has been warning abut China for decades.
    Long before he was POTUS when idjits like Bush and Obama ignored it or Clinton facilitated it.

    Hopefully Trump gets re-elected before Bejing Biden throws a sino-US homecoming party

    Trump should STFU about Nordstream 2 .
    It's not our business -and engaging Russia with economic ties is the very best way to keep the peace in Europe.
    That was the whole premise after the fall of the Soviet Union -we promised not to expand NATO
    and Russia promised not to use military force in Ukraine (ex. Budapest Agreement).

    Of course that all quickly went to hell as we lied and expanded NATO anyway.

    Newly Declassified Documents: Gorbachev Told NATO Wouldn't Move Past East German Border
    https://nationalinterest.org/blog/th...-wouldnt-23629
    Gorbachev only accepted German reunification—over which the Soviet Union had a legal right to veto under treaty—because he received assurances that NATO would not expand after he withdrew his forces from Eastern Europe from James Baker, President George H.W. Bush, West German foreign minister Hans-Dietrich Genscher, West German Chancellor Helmut Kohl, the CIA Director Robert Gates, French President Francois Mitterrand, British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, British foreign minister Douglas Hurd, British Prime Minister John Major, and NATO secretary-general Manfred Woerner.

    in 1994, Bill Clinton decided to expand NATO eastward despite the various assurances that the previous administration had offered Gorbachev—and despite legendary diplomat George F. Kennan’s repeated warnings.

    Not once, but three times, Baker tried out the “not one inch eastward” formula with Gorbachev in the February 9, 1990, meeting.
    He agreed with Gorbachev’s statement in response to the assurances that “NATO expansion is unacceptable.” Baker assured Gorbachev that “neither the President nor I intend to extract any unilateral advantages from the processes that are taking place,” and that the Americans understood that “not only for the Soviet Union but for other European countries as well it is important to have guarantees that if the United States keeps its presence in Germany within the framework of NATO, not an inch of NATO’s present military jurisdiction will spread in an eastern direction.” (See Document 6)

    That's YOUR task, Comrade maggot. I'm concentrated upon the illegal activities of the fascist state of Izrael and its continuing record of murder, theft, ethnic cleansing and slow genocide- and, of course, the exposure and satirizing of the assholes that support it.

    Yes and that includes never criticising China or Iran, there's a name for disingenuous people like you. Waste your life tilting at windmills Moonshi'ite, you'll wake up one day when you grow up.

    "Despite the recent slowdown, China’s economy is still growing at almost three times the rate of the US – around 7% over the last couple of years, compared to less than 2.5%.
    The two nations are on an even keel when it comes to exports. However, the US has a trade deficit – it imports more than it exports – while China imports significantly less than it exports, resulting in a trade surplus."

    China has 'Central Planning', intent on making 'China First'. Wouldn't it be nice if America could think like that?
    What your failing to look at is what China is trading. Cheap consumer goods.

    No... no it wouldn’t as China’s economic growth isn’t sustainable. Just look at their real estate market as an example of over production being propped up by the central planning government. They have literally entire cities that no one lives in.

    China’s not our biggest problem. You know what is? Guys named Todd. I'm getting really sick of guys named Todd.

    It's just a goofy - it's a goofy fucking name, OK? Hi, what's your name?
    Todd. I'm Todd. And this is Blake, and Blaire and Blaine and Brent. Where all these goofy fucking boys names coming from?! Taylor, Tyler, Jordan, Flynn.

    These are not real names! You want to hear a real name? Eddie. Eddie is a real name, whatever happened to Eddie, he was here a minute ago. Joey and Jackie and Johnny and Phil. Bobby and Tommy and Danny and Bill, what happened?

    Todd. And Cody, and Dylan, and Cameron, and Tucker
    Hi Tucker, I'm Todd. Hi Todd, I'm Tucker. Fuck Tucker, Tucker sucks. And fuck Tucker's friend, Kyle. that's another soft name for a boy, Kyle. Soft names make soft people. I'll bet you anything that ten times out of ten, Nicky, Vinnie, and Tony would beat the shit out of Todd, Kyle, and Tucker.

    So you tell me, how the fuck are we going to compete with a giant like China with a bunch of guys named Todd?
