And I had to tell them, you know what you're doing?

You're providing the money and the wherewithal for the Chinese Communist Party to destroy us, whether it's buying missiles or doing what they're doing right now in the economic arena.

So we need to be serious about this.

Go ahead.

Well, we got a little bit of a signal of that today on the People's Armed Police Twitter feed.

They showed a picture of the PLA soldiers marching with the big Chinese flag, and the recommendation was, let's go kinetic.

So while we're watching the economic arena, and that's what we're talking about on today's show.

Let's not forget that China has some other desires and they could use the military lever to invade Taiwan.

I don't see an invasion in the next 24 hours or 48 hours.

But the point is they may take and use a military maneuver, maybe in the South China Sea against our ally in the Philippines or some other place.

So we need to be watching across the scope and breadth of national power, the comprehensive national power that they call it or we call it whole of government.

And as you said, they're planning three or four or five moves ahead, and we should be anticipating those things and not being caught off guard.

And that means our military forces out in the Far East and back in CONUS have to be up on alert to watch and be prepared for some kind of action from the Chinese.

Maybe even in the Caribbean, our operations are in and around Venezuela against the drug cartels.

So we have to be on alert.

This is like when I came into the US Navy in 1986.

against the Soviet Union.

We were a nation that was on guard against the predations of the Soviet Union and the Communist Party that was running Russia.

Now we have the Communist Party that's running China.

They have the same strategic objective to destroy us.
