I was surprised that U.S. bases in the Phillipines are considered a major part of the defense of Taiwan. And that the Phillipines has recently allowed the U.S to add bases in their northernmost islands right next to Taiwan. But the video also cites that a change of Phillipine presidential leadership could cause the U.S. and Taiwan to lose that advantage, and the deterrence it gives against a potential invasion of Taiwan.
At first glance, it looks like the Indian Ocean, Pacific Ocean and South China Sea are wide open areas. But this and other videos clarify that from a military / naval standpoint, the shipping lanes through these areas are not as open as they look, and are vulnerable to being completely cut off at a few narrow choke points by naval blockade.
If Kamala Harris were elected a few days ago, we were already on a trajectory for world war with China, in about 5 years.
With Trump, there is a chance to break that trajectory,and create a strong U.S. policy that can rally and renew alliances in U.S. coalition with other nations, Nations that now have renewed confidence in U.S. leadership, that can deter or dissolve that China threat.
In both interviews, detailing how a weakened open U.S. southern border, that allows over 20 million illegal immigrants to enter, not only lets in illegal immigrants, criminals, drug cartels and terrorists, bu how this is all intertwined with China waging an undeclared larger war on the United States, through:
1) Providing and shipping the chemicals to Mexico, for drug cartels to make fentanyl and other narcotics smuggled into the U.S., that now kills over 100,000 Americans annually, higher losses than in any war in U.S. history. Fentanyl is now the largest cause of death for Americans between the ages of 15 to 45.
2) U.S. deficit trade with China, costing the U.S. $850 billion a year, and that funds China's fentanyl trafficking, and also China's buildup of both conventional and nuclear military forces, to use on us at a later date.
3) Chine's cyber-theft from U.S. companies, that costs at least another $500 billion a year, and hacks not only private companies, but also hacks every U.S. government agency, including the Pentagon.
4) "Elite capture" of U.S. government officials, such as Joe and Hunter Biden, the late Senator Dianne Feinstein, Rep. Eric Swallwell (who had a Chinese mistress who also worked in his House government office, to more easily steal information while he served on the House Intelligence Committee. And incredibly, Swallwell STILL remains in the House).. And Democrat vice presidential candidate Tim Walz, among others. Whether out of greed, blackmail or other motivations, these treasonous Democrats do the bidding and share classified national security information with the Chinese goverment.
5) Chinese "Confucious Insitute" branch ideological indoctrination centers in hundreds of universities and schools, across the U.S., molding the brains of young Americans, to turn them into future Eric Swallwells and Tim Walzes.
6) TikTok social media app, that allows the Chinese government to gather personal data and location from every app user, including about U.S. military personnel and their families and children, for intelligence use in a future war against the U.S.
7) Covid-19, that appears to have been developed as a bio-weapon at the Wuhan Reasearch Institute, but backfired on China, and then China allowed it to spread to the rest of the world, by ceasing internal flights WITHIIN China in early 2020, but allowed Covid-infected passenger flights OUT of China, to every other part of the world. This was not the original intent of China at the time, but when China suffered from its own bio-research outbreak, they decided to make sure the rest of the world suffered from it too. China similarly gathers data from 23AndMe genetic tests of Americans, to design other more deadly diseases that can be used at some later time to infect and cripple the U.S. and its allies on a massive scale worldwide, as part of a future war.
8) Chinese-made cel phones, drones, energy equipment, computers, software, and other electronics made and exported from China, that can also be used to steal data, or in other ways be weaponized or shut down remotely.
9) Interference in our 2020 and 2024 elections, to whatever degree they were successful.
10) Funding of Black Lives Matter, Antifa, and the open borders movement. These are just other ways for China to de-stablilize the U.S., and weaken us and the broader West. Russia and Iran do these things as well. And Russia in particular has been doing so since at least 1945, secretly funding communist front groups, communist newspapers, and other radical groups like the Black Panthers (who by the way, Georgia/Fulton Countty prosecutor Fani Willis' father was a very active part of).
These are just some of the components of China's undeclared asymmetric war on the U.S., preceding an actual military war.
