While it is good for Erick to make his readers aware of our competitors and rivals efforts to become more than just "influencers" in the propaganda wars, as a retired FSO (Foreign Service Officer aka a dplomat), I am fully confident that both our official (overt and covert) and NGO security analysts and planners are aware of what is happening in real time and continually adjusting to new situations. Just read some of Adm James Stavridis (USN rtd) writings including two recent novels co-authored w/ Elliot Ackerman) entitled 2034 and 2054, respectively. Both are two imagined scenarios of what could happen in those two years using Stavridis' immense knowledge and experience in international security affairs (his last command was NATO) and Ackerman's experience as a novelist.

The Axis of Evil is playing a 3 Stooges gag on us, and we are the stooge. The political cartoons almost draw themselves.

The Chinese own thousands of acres in the US with a lot of it near our Military Bases. They are NOW staffing these places with their Military. Look at ALL the military aged Chinese men that are coming into our Nation under the biden open border program so they can fill them up. The Chinese are also in Cuba and a lot of places in S. America.

People have been wondering why so many Chinese military bases have been shut down. Well now you know why. THEIR MILITARY PEOPLE ARE ALL COMING TO THE US TO FILL THE CHINA OWNED BASES THAT ARE NEAR OUR MILITARY BASES, SO THEY CAN TAKE US OVER. DO YOU UNDERSTAND????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Interesting comments. The US has an Executive Admin that has reacted as events unfold around the world. I hope they have plans for countries in this hemisphere because Central and South America are certainly close to home.

Wars are fought on political, military and economic fronts. The idiots in Washington have forgotten that.

I'll go out on a limb and say there's a good chance since this story appeared in the news, our intelligence services and our defense probably know about it and have been trying to keep it under wraps.

MItchell, you're not on a limb; that's a given.

Erick,

Like you, I was an expat in my youth, but old enough to understand as the western colonies died out in Africa, and the new imperialism of Russia, Cuba, and overwhelmingly China took over in a very militant way. Led by American Communist WEB DuBois painting his utopian propaganda. Fools! So many died or lost their way of life, and the natural resources were given to China for the personal gain of corrupt politicians. MANY tragic stories. As usual the US stuck to its isolationism. Fools. My truly favorite memory was when the Israelis invaded Uganda on July 4, 1976.

Russia sending warships to Cuba. China will take Taiwan soon. Russia utilized Cuba back in JFK days to have US remove def missiles from Turkey. It worked to near perfection. With the Russian armada in movement to Cuba, Bobby Kennedy negotiated with Russia, and agreed to remove and armada turned around.

You can thank Obama and JB for Iran's late developments. Obama lifted All Sanctions, and sent the Euros to Iran under fiasco nuclear agreement. Iran went shopping, Russia, China, North Korea. Now Iran is on verge of nuclear full deployment development.

Now all you DT haters going to vote against DT. Geoff Duncan already said he was voting for Joe.

Meanwhile JB looking for a New Case of Depends. The ones he had on in France are badly used .
