SCMP: US must be ready for military clash with China, Pentagon official Chad Sbragia says

* US needs to develop weapons, boost ties with allies and improve military efficiency to be ready against ‘formidable’ China, Chad Sbragia says
* ‘This is a long-term process. We have to be agile, smart,’ says deputy assistant secretary of defence for China

The United States must prepare for a possible military conflict with China by developing new weapons, strengthening ties with allies and improving the Pentagon’s efficiency, a senior Trump administration official said on Thursday.

“The stakes of the challenge of conflict with China, in other words, are formidable,” said Chad Sbragia, deputy assistant secretary of defence for China. “This is a long-term process. We have to be agile, smart.”

The People’s Liberation Army is an increasingly formidable adversary that is marrying long-standing ambition with unprecedented new resources, Sbragia, the former US defence attaché in Beijing, told the US-China Economic and Security Review Commission.

Britain has ignored China & Russia & has slashed defence spending for the past 40 years by merely preparing for war against Luxembourg & Monte Carlo. The big countries should not engage in power projection against one another but pick on much smaller countries. Flintlocks are far cheaper than Ohio class submarines & are more eco friendly. 🖖😉

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Thursday condemned President Donald Trump's reported actions over an intelligence briefing given to lawmakers on Russian interference in U.S. elections, saying members should denounce any efforts to discredit the intelligence community.

"American voters should decide American elections — not Vladimir Putin. All Members of Congress should condemn the president’s reported efforts to dismiss threats to the integrity of our democracy & to politicize our intel community," Pelosi tweeted Thursday night.

The Frothy Right Is Complaining that Amy Berman Jackson Sentenced Roger Stone to 57% of Lower Guidelines

So let’s not mince words: Trump and his GOP defenders appear to be actively abetting an attack on our country. By contrast, Democrats can only be accused of passivity -- a serious abdication, but not remotely comparable to what Trump and his defenders are orchestrating.

The details of this story -- outlined by The Post and the New York Times -- again suggest Trump will stop at nothing to escape accountability at the hands of voters in a free and fair election, regardless of the damage done to our country along the way.

Trump is angry because our intelligence officials followed the law and informed members of both parties about what the intel indicated about new Russian efforts. Trump “berated” his acting director of national intelligence, Joseph Maguire, for allowing this heresy.

Alinsky rule # 13.) “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.”

I listened to Santorum on the Glenn beck show. He had a good platform on a range of issues.

So what did ;liberals do? They continually and relentlessly ridicule his pro-life & marriage stands until all liberals never realized he had policy positions beyond abortion. That is the way the DNC like their voters. STUPID & IGNORANT.

Other liberals did their part. Liberal Dan Savage defined Santorum as "the frothy mixture of lube and fecal matter that is the byproduct of anal sex"

So now Dan Savage and other libs froze and ridiculed Santorum's image in the eyes of Democrats and independents that libs do not know and cannot tell you what Santorum's economic and foreign policy positions were.

Yup, DIM voters are DUMB & IGNORANT just how the DNC likes them.


Addendum.
IF it is such a natural act how come gays need lube?

Since when is extensive contact with excrement healthy. The Latin word for healthy is sanus from which we get the English word sane. If it is unhealthy, it is insane.

Why do Dimocraps push insane lifestyles?

CBS News has exclusively learned that the billboards are going up in Phoenix and Las Vegas, where Mr. Trump will be campaigning Friday. The billboards are appearing in high visibility areas near a Trump hotel property on the Vegas Strip, and also along potential motorcade routes where the president may see them as he drives by.

Should Mr. Trump look out the window of the presidential limousine, he could see billboards blaring, "Donald Trump cheats at golf," and "Donald Trump eats burnt steak."

Girlie Boy was breatheless. He posted

"SiriusXM has suspended conservative host Glenn Beck's radio programme"

Here is the rest of the story as Paul Harvey would say.

"Conservative host Glenn Beck has been suspended )a week) by SiriusXM satellite radio for agreeing with an author (Brad Thor) who asked hypothetically "what patriot will step up" to remove Republican Donald Trump from office if he's elected president and oversteps his authority."

Sirius XM sounds chickenshit.

You can remove a president peacefully and legally via impeachment and conviction.

Glenn Back was anti-Trump like bird brain. Except bird brain titters like a little girl that Beck got suspended for a week for not liking Trump. WOW!

Well, not wow, it is the type of illogic we expect from bird brain.

"Tomi Lahren ‘banned permanently’ from The Blaze"

Well I believe Glenn Beck has one daughter with disabilities. So he is walking the talk. He didn't euthanize her like a lib or a NAZI (lib, NAZI, same thing really) would have done.



All in all, I see bird brain as being 0 for 5.
