U.S. weakness was invitation to China

OPINION:

It could not have been scripted or set up any better: The now-closer-allied Russia and China are making moves against the United States, Ukraine, Taiwan and beyond. The goal? World dominance.

We have a divided country with deliberately permitted anarchy at our southern border, rampant serious crime in our cities and a government that orders shutdowns of its own energy supply only to go begging other, unfriendly countries. A far-left, even a Marxist leadership is at the helm, attempting to bring about “COVID control” over the people, based not on science, but a desire for power. Our children are being indoctrinated in public schools and at many colleges. Attacks against free speech and our sacred Constitution happen with regularity. Our economy is on the doorstep of bankruptcy.

The key factor is the lack of competent leadership at the top. The most glaring example of our weakness were the mismanagement and blatant failures in our withdrawal from Afghanistan. This move sent a signal not only to Russia and China, but to the entire world.

Many people aren’t aware of the massive build-up of the Chinese military that has been taking place on the ground, in the air and at sea. This has been happening not only in terms of numbers, but in terms of advanced weapons technology and strategic military bases. Combined with its junior partner, Russia, China has the ability to take out the United States. Many people in high positions in the U.S. government, universities and elsewhere have been compromised and used through money and power bribes.

Russian President Vladimir Putin’s ultimate goal is the reformation of the Soviet Union. The current Russian invasion of Ukraine (with the danger of an attack on a NATO nation) could very well lead to the beginning of World War III. China is ready and poised to enter a war on the side of Russia against the U.S. and NATO. They see the weak and incompetent U.S. leadership as an invitation to act.

It is crucial that the American people wake up and act in every legal way possible to get our great country back on track. We are running out of time.
