Maybe Jac is right?

"China has been building Russian military equipment for decades. At first the Russian designs were manufactured under license. By the 1990s China was improving the Russian designs and claiming the new models were Chinese. The problem here was not illegal use of Russian patents but the fact that the Chinese versions were cheaper, and always with better tech support and customer service."


America does not have tie to worry about Syria. Democrats and other enemies of the 1sto Amendment are preparing to over the top in a big push.

"This is clearly ground prep for something. It has been a planned information op beginning with Psaki’s comments last week. Bedingfeld chose to make these comments on MSNBC, to one of the least intelligent and most partisan hosts on cable, Mika Brzezinski, an avowed leftist who’s unlikely to do anything other than let Bedingfeld attack the First Amendment without challenge. This is intentional."


What Psaki and Bedingfeld did is the political equivalent of a WW1 prepatory barrage. Sometime after trashing the 1st Amendment Democrats intend to pass the Enabling Acts. Milly will click his heels and scream Sieg Heil.

2:54, What statement was in error? The one supporting Jac or the one the asserted America has bigger problems than Russia?


Here is the punch line

"The Biden administration doesn’t care about that, choosing instead to target Americans. That’s always been his go-to move. Inflation is becoming a monster and crime continues to spike due directly to Democrat defund the police policies. Biden is weak on China, soft on Russia, absent on Cuba, but tough on Americans he doesn’t like for any reason. Democrats should be worried about all this and they are. In normal times they’d be due a shellacking in 2022. But this administration hasn’t behaved like a normal one from its first day. One thing they can do instead of a policy course correction ahead of the midterms is de-platform their critics to hobble their electoral opponents. Silence millions of Americans and make it much more difficult to move messages and voters. The Constitution and everything else that stands in their way may as well be damned. The Biden White House wants unchallenged power."

Now you an enlightened wokester knows how the next 18 months will shape up.
