The United States actually is a huge producer for food overseas.
This is where I have a lot of issues with what's going on with China because China needs us to feed their population.
So they're not really going to mess with us as much as people think they are.
Again, this is my opinion and my speculation in that perspective because I have a different understanding.
I think that it's interesting because it's a cooperation that's there, which actually is really good for international relationships.
I think that's actually really great.
Do I think that Chinese nation buying up farmland in the United States is a suspect?
Not necessarily.
It's kind of continuing on their food supply for their nation.
However, I can understand where people would be a little uncomfortable with it because they're misinformed or don't have all the information.
Exactly.
And I also think there was, I'm sure you saw the 60 Minutes special.
I haven't seen it yet, but I'm aware of it.
There's plenty of little like clips you can watch and stuff that ran about Littleton, Massachusetts water facility being taken over by the Chinese.
Now, I grew up in Massachusetts, so I know where Littleton is.
And I, yes, it is rather a strange place to target.
But you and I being security professionals think, oh, cool, test bed, poke, poke, let's see what happens.
Exactly.
Yeah, no, absolutely.
But I also think that, I think sometimes that these soft relationships that are there, the soft political relationships you were saying, I think sometimes people need to be reminded that they can do things in order to get things moving again.
