So basically it wasn’t Hackers... it was a “SALE” from Clinton and a “Please Love Me” from BO?

TT

(not disagreeing, just wanted clarification)

Global Freight Management System

That's the scary part.

Amateurs talk about tactics or strategy. Pros talk about logistics.

Logistics win or lose wars.

Obama gave it away.

I think he owes the country an APOLOGY.

This man is incompetent, and he should resign or apologize.

Everybody spies on everybody.
It’s no secret.

Helping to fund China’s industrial base is a real problem.

I’d think a potpourri of issues are here. Some politician-enabled espionage/intrigue, some the results of stupid security practices, some trivial cracking that got nothing variable, some bits of crown jewels, all over the map.

and the Chinese still only do a good job of it part of the time. give them the plans to the best American whatever, and then try to get those commies to actually build a working one. not likely if they can’t even build cars that sell in the USA yet.

Well it ain’t for the lack of the dough or even for theoretical access to the know how. They can’t crank good, complex stuff out like free countries can, where the market will match up desire with supply where everyone’s satisfied. The worst Detroit is better than the best Chinese.

It is the attitude.
They are copiers, They are not innovators.
We are innovators.
We think outside the box

Still, they are doing some good copies and they have the masses.

“This man is incompetent, and . . ...?”

Au contraire, it appears to me that he is competently realizing his goals.
