It has to be made profoundly different.
Because at this point, I no longer can communicate with my own readers because so much junk comes in.
I can't figure out which is coming from Beijing and which is coming from next door.
And now they want me to answer it.
So I have a particular need for this.
And so does everybody else.
So I regard this not so much as a national security threat, ultimately, the penetration of government entities is more dangerous than that level.
I regard this as a massive new dimension of geopolitical warfare, dividing the populations.
And it works.
Well, first of all, we have to remember that we've had, tragically, 14 casualties, 14 deaths.
This is not a very intense war by the United States.
Vietnam, we had massive losses, 50,000 died.
So put this war in those contexts, we're not really at war yet, even though we're trading punches.
So we haven't moved that heavily into it.
But when we take a look at what this war means in the United States,
It's of some importance, but there are existential wars which would threaten the future of the United States, and elective wars, which we choose to do.
So World War II was essentially an existential war.
If we had lost it, beaten by Japan or by Germany, the future of the United States would be very much in question.
The wars in Vietnam,
Iraq, Afghanistan, they were choices that were made, okay?
