Well it's quite a week. We've seen fentanyl streaming across our southern boarder at an alarming rate and not coincidently we surpassed over 100,000 overdose deaths. I guess that there's some solace knowing that for every loved one who's died, we've replaced them with 20 unskilled, uneducated, and unvetted individuals who've crossed the southern boarder. Not only have we reached the 2 million mark of those detained at the boarder but thousands of "getaways" who've evaded detention have poured in. No one knows who they are and what their purpose is. What is puzzling is why we bother to spend tens of millions of dollars manning customs and immigration locations in ports and airports here. Why do we keep close ties on those entering from Europe, Asia, and Australia while allowing an open southern boarder? Must be part of the "transformation." Also this week we mark the anniversary of the Afghanistan debacle. It was a travesty in so many ways. Since the date was more important than the execution, we left long before we were ready. We pissed off our allies too who had little time to protect their people. We left hundreds of Americans behind as well as friendlies who are now in hiding fearing execution if found by the Taliban. Our allies we angry that we didn't give them notice in time to orderly withdraw their people and the English Parliament actually condemned our actions. The damage done to America's stature is immeasurable. We all know the Putin took one look and the incompetents running our military and decided that he could attack Ukraine with impunity. The death and destruction that is occurring there is primarily our fault. But the good news is it gives leadership the excuse to spend billions of dollars not only replacing the material that we left in Afghanistan but also to arm Ukraine. That's got to make happy those ex generals who now are on the payrolls of defense contractors. And then there's China who has stepped up it's threats against Taiwan. Why not? Putin showed how easy it was. And to top off the matter we now see that China and Russia will be running joint military maneuvers. Wow we got the Bear and the Tiger to sleep together. And lest we forget the Biden administration is still trying to assist Iran in it's nuclear dreams. It's no wonder that Secy. of Defense Austin testified that the biggest threat to America was White Supremacists. There's not that much else going on in the world but then that might be just part of the "transformation." One thing I've learned is that it isn't the fault of Biden or his voters, it's all Trump's fault. TDS.
China is just biding its time. When they take Taiwan over it will change the world. If you think there is a semi-conductor shortage now, you ain't seen nothing yet. From a strategic standpoint they will lock down 1/4 of the world militarily and will control high tech. Meanwhile they are buying up American farmland as fast as they can and gobbling up mineral rights in Africa. They are targeting food supplies and rare minerals necessary to produce the batteries in electric vehicles. Russia is busy locking down all the resources in Ukraine. Meanwhile here we sit, led by a President who has dementia and requires 4 days of R and R per week, who stumbles around extending his hand to no one while we are being conquered one illegal border jumper at a time and fentanyl from China via Mexico kills 300 Americans every day. Not your problem? Well, Columbus,Ohio which I believe is a sanctuary city now boasts a crime rate that has increased over 100%.
If the Russians and Chinese do form a military alliance, pretty sure the Chinese will insist upon using Chinese vehicles.
