Viewed in its starkest terms, China has threatened a nation-ending EMP Attack against the United States already—which went largely unnoticed by most Americans, even though such an attack might kill all except 30 million of us. In addition to its submarine forces that have been expanded greatly in the past decade, China's military is deploying new ballistic missiles that can sink U.S. aircraft carriers, and are potentially game-changing, unprecedented threats to our supercarriers and their carrier battle groups.Whether "enemy" is precisely the correct label to put on China or not, it's not arguable that China's actions and policies are those of a determined competitor and evidence both an underlying hostile intent and national goals that have nothing to do with international comity. Its support of N. Korea is particularly atrocious given the odious nature of that killer regime and its enthusiastic efforts on behalf of making outlaw regimes like Iran and Syria nuclear powers.
Also, China is preparing to build an aircraft carrier, which symbolizes the ambition to move far beyond its own shores. Its growing anti-satellite capabilities and quite soon its fifth-generation fighter, not to mention its ongoing Cyberwarfare and economic warfare, are alarming to say the least.
China wants nuclear armed outlaw states. And a toehold in the oil-rich Middle East.
QED.
It is this China that our business and political leadership has chosen as the locus of so much of our manufacturing capacity and the holder of so much of our debt.
What could possibly go wrong with this formula? And what better time than the present to be tinkering with nuclear arms reduction treaties? And to be keeping our corporate tax rates the highest rates in the world?
Pee Wee Herman could come up with something a lot better than our native clown class.
