But the Russians are probably the next closest, right?

After us, it drops out of the Russians.

The Chinese were very noisy.

And if they can be made quieter by Russian technology, that would hurt.

And the second thing they've given them is the technology for airborne assaults with helicopters, both the equipment and the training to do it.

That's part of that cross-strait invasion.

It's not just ships coming across the strait, it's an airborne assault as well.

So, from my perspective, those are two pretty big technological quid pro quos back to China, if true.

These are both rumor, but if true, this would be a significant issue that makes it more challenging for Taiwan or the United States to fight China.

Well, you're right on all those points though, I'll tell you.

In fact, I don't know if you remember, but the very beginning of the war, one of the things the Russians did when they seized land was take all the modern dishwashers and washing machines so they could grab the microelectronics out of them because there was some similarity between those, some of the chips in those and the chips that were in weapons systems.

So the propensity for dual use technology in this world is pretty big.

And I will say, I think China does intentionally provide drones to the Ukrainians and Ukrainian drones cause 82% of Russian casualties.

And I think they allow them, they say there's a ban, but they're clearly showing up.

I spent a lot of time in Ukraine with their forces and there's a lot of, a number of their drones still have Chinese, significant numbers of Chinese parts in it.

I think the Chinese kind of do it to bleed the Russians a little.

I mean, this war is going great for them.

America is distracted.

Europe is distracted and breaking apart, and Russia is bleeding out.

Who's the winner?
