[QUOTE=sail33or;2121753USA owes more than it can ever pay back (A lot to the Chinese)
USA's current generation never heard of George Washington. USA building solar and wind farms while China is building more Manufacturing Plants. Hope our electric tanks with troops wearing gender neutral uniforms waving the Pride Flag can keep up with their big bad diesels.[/QUOTE] Well, you were doing a pretty good job summarizing things until the last four. I know personally all my grandkids know all about George Washington. China is actually a long way ahead of us in Solar and Wind, and are moving forward with carbon reduction policies, while building more cities and factories. The US doesn't build factories because the companies don't want to. Pretty simply economics, pay and taxes is less there than here. And the last electric tanks, I hope so, but not soon. And troops wearing gender neutral uniforms. As a Marine I take offense at the slight against our military. I don't care if the Marines go out in nothing but pink underwear we are still the best fighting force in the world, despite you hate of some sectors of our society.

Politicians deal and worry about it? Scary! Some of them spend more time back stabbing each other.

And I really care for my family and friends. I have 3 grown children and six great- grandchildren. And family and friends all over our country. I care for their safety and their future. In this great country. So friend, it’s not living in a state of fear. It’s living in a state of Hope. I hope that our leaders and the leaders of other countries have sanity. We know that some do not and only care to conquer and have more power. That’s the worry as so many signs indicate a very troubling and very scary future. Sure, let it be… |

I would also hope that posters ADD to the topic rather than just an emoji or slam others. Unfortunately that’s how some threads in TOTV evolve. And I’m glad that this Thread did not go down with the “P” yada. Not sure if the Mods had to delete some. |

Heard yesterday evening from an Asian source that the SS Ronald Reagan is in the South China Sea enroute to the Taiwan area right now. I don't know if that has made the American news sources or not. In any case, a carrier group bobbing around in the water adjacent to Taiwan is not going to be well-received by the Chinese.
...Another round of brinkmanship coming up? But in any case, most Americans are ignorant of China and how their system works (or doesn't work). My wife, who knows a lot about Asia and China in particular, explained it: China's system, from the top down, is authoritarian. That means if you look good in the government's eyes, you'll be rewarded. If not, well--baaaaad things might happen. So the effect is that the managers at the lowest levels, regardless of the facts, send glowing reports to their higher-ups, who in turn forward those glowing reports (even if they know it's not factual) to THEIR higher ups, and so on up the ladder. The result is what gets disseminated to media is often grossly untrue, but it forms the essence of what the world knows about China, especially if one trusts media to be factual. |

All smoke and mirrors. Always something else going on we shouldn't see.
