This is just the tip of the iceberg, when one realizes that China 'owns' the U.S. If one walks around their home, they will realize that the majority of what they own was "made in China". This has been ongoing for decades.

The current POTUS poking the bear with tariffs is causing a price surge on otherwise inexpensive items. The 'little guy' is the one feeling it at the register.

And now, POTUS is having to weigh whether he wants to look the other way on S-A, to keep them as an ally. Something tells me money will trump alleged rogue encounters.

Long story short, for years China was the model many people deemed the one to emulate. In the U.S. having children are becoming an expense many are finding cheaper to forego in exchange for the perfect puppy or a couple of cats. This will drastically change the demographics of the U.S. population; and, shall be interesting to see how the debts are 'resolved' in a few decades. If history repeats itself, I expect war will continue to be the answer.

Btw, it's rumored that the internet has been sold to China; and, the U.S. owes China a huge debt, so  something tells me this is one of those 'conversations' that neither country wants to face with fury.  It doesn't make msm; but, military ships are stirring the waters in the China seas. I could discuss Russia's role in the equation; but, let's just say that's another force to not ignore.

Thanks for this post.

Peace.
