I don't think people actually understand the magnitude of leverage China actually has over America and it's western European partners

[Problematic Pat]

They have the main ingredients needed to make medicine work.

They control basically the entire supply chain of almost every product imaginable.

And the biggest one that I had no idea about is that they control the raw material necessary to make magnets. If this one's a head scratcher to you put it like this who ever controls magnets controls technology. Almost every single piece of tech from cars, computers, to cellphones uses them. If they cut this off America and whoevers on their side is fukked. All that tough talk from Biden, Obama and now Trump towards China is just theatre for World/MAGA



It's way more things but these are the top ones.

People don't want to admit the advantage they have and how it really threatens our way of life.

People also don't want to admit every country is out for the power grab. Even the European Union was formed to power grab. If countries feel they need to team up to get power they will. United States is not an exception. The world is headed down a dark road to war, because you can't quench the thirst of greedy merchants and that is who controls governments.

Yes. We will be at war with china sometime in the next few hundred years.

I give China props. They proved a government with a will can propel their country to unimaginable heights. They worked their plan and are now reading the rewards. From a backwards waterhole in the 1980s to technological juggernaut today. Can't do nothing but salute that

 

[DJ Paul's Arm]

China has the manufacturing industry on lock.

 

[Sir Richard Spirit]

This problem has already been solved.

 

[ReasonableMatic]

Yes. We will be at war with china sometime in the next few hundred years.

Guess who the Pentagon and Secretary of Defense have winning between the US vs China

I don't blame China, they were one being taken advantage of for a while.

I'm just pointing out all governments eventually turn into the same overbearing organization that they want to blame others of being. None of them will save the world, they all push the world into more conflict. It's a cycle until the end of the Age.

China has been this big threat to us all my life. They have bigger problems at home.

What's funny is that pretty much every US state is large enough to be its own nation. The EU is just a looser confederation of states based upon mostly trade. The US was just ahead of the game so far as consolidating so much land into one nation. It's US hypocrisy.

Exactly and right now these billionaires and what have you are getting their money and running, they have already sold this country out.

America is ripe for the taking when our population drops in the next hundred years, its over boys and gals. All the rich politicians know it and trump is their fall guy for the dirty work that needs to be done in order for a "smooth transition".
