Sure does. The Democrats are about as scary from the perspective of having total power in government as the Bolsheviks were in Russia.

They sure went extremist in a few short years.

Just about all the Democrats are guilty of s******n in violating the Constitution. I say let the trials begin and when found guilty a front row seat in gitmo.

A definite reason for concern, as far as I see it, the Chinese can be a slow-moving cancer upon the world, gaining strength and momentum.

I agree, The US defense department expects China to add military bases around the world to protect its investments in it ambitious One Belt One Road global infrastructure program, according to an official report released on Thursday.

We are over-focused on the damn campaign BS we're taking our eye off the ball(s)

While the U.S. still dwarfs China when it comes to defense spending, Beijing’s sweeping modernization of the People’s Liberation Army has prompted increases in military outlays from India to Japan. The PLA Navy has led the way. Since 2000, China’s seven main shipyards have produced more submarines, destroyers, frigates and corvettes than the collective output of South Korea, Japan and India, according to the 2018 Military Balance published by the International Institute for Strategic Studies.

Go take your rant and BS somewhere else, we're all filled up here. Try getting off of it and sticking with the topic for once.

It' time to pull our heads out of our asses, stop the bickering and come together...

Reporter with Phoenix Satellite TV asked questions to Wang Yi on the Djibouti base and expanding of China’s overseas interests at the press conference of the fourth session of China's 12th National People’s Congress.

Wang Yi replied, "You mentioned China’s growing overseas interests. I think it is the key to understanding the matter. Like any major country that is growing, China’s overseas interests are expanding. At present, there are 30,000 Chinese enterprises all over the world and several million Chinese are working and living in all corners of the world. Last year, China’s non-financial outbound direct investment reached 118 billion U.S. dollars and the stock of China’s overseas assets reached several trillion U.S. dollars. So it has become a pressing task for China’s diplomacy to better protect our ever-growing overseas interests."

In an editorial published 21 April 2017 marking the anniversary of China's navy, the official military outlet PLA Daily suggested that the nation needed six aircraft carriers, an enlarged marine corps and ten naval bases in friendly foreign nations. "In the long run, China needs to develop its own aircraft carrier battle teams, with at least six aircraft carriers, maritime forces led by guided missile destroyers, as well as attack submarines," said Xu Guangyu, a senior advisor to the China Arms Control and Disarmament Association. "China will build about ten more bases for the [carriers] . . . Hopefully, China could have bases in every continent, but that depends on countries which would like to cooperate with China."


I particularly like the word cooperate.

China is definitely are biggest threat.

Seth

Yes, the word "cooperate" does connote a view that China wields a certain pressing influence, or a threatening undertone of there being some inherent penalty attached to non-cooperation.

Congress gets off its hindquarters? Not a chance until 2020, this is if we wake up.

We will, and In 2020, the Democrats' will undoubtedly become a small minority in the House and Senate, and Trump will win a second term.
