This parallels our scandalous failure to upgrade the ICBM force. The 50 MX Peacekeeper missiles were dug out of the ground years ago. The 'past their use date' Minuteman were retained, now downgraded to a single warhead.

The biggest failure is that the Chinese looks at the future in terms of decades and centuries. We can't see beyond our nose!

At least 4 years, usually 8.

But they are Communist, that gives us a massive advantage, or at least it used to.

They are now attacking the people, as well as the institutions. I think this was a mistake, and it will guarantee their defeat, eventually.

I believe that we in Canada are in a greater pickle in that our military is next to non existant!

None Dare Call It Treason (ever read it?) It's about how the US government has aided and abetted global communism since the end of WW2 up until the 60s when the book was published. None Dare Call It Conspiracy is the widely read sequel.

Yes, it's the tip of the iceberg.

Seems CCP are we, now. No real differentiation, just the ruse of it. As everyone in my city (Portland OR) celebrates the Chinese New Year. Ironic. 'Yay China'.

Well, it's bad, but not quite that bad in the military, I Hope. I Pray.
