Look China just surpassed America to become the world’s largest producer.
They CONTINUE to grow, we continue to buy ever-more from them, and we continue to go further in debt.
I a frankly much, much more concerned with China.
America has completely sold out. We need to bring back American industry, and stop buying everything from China.
If the GOP won’t do that, then we need a new party.
What we have now, is broken.
Completely.
Russia isn’t the problem. American dependency is the problem. We need to build up our own country once again.
You will never get industry back in the US. We will become the low cost provider before that happens.
You are thinking too jingoisticly. America, is run by the oligarchs. This was most evident with the BS the House pulled right after the election. When the oligarchs run things, they only care about their money and power. It doesn’t matter where it comes from.
China is trying to bail out Russia. They will agree to oil and other resource trades that do not include the dollar. That will send billions back to the U.S. that will not bode well for us.
Russia can turn off the gas spigot to Europe. The U.S. has a lot of Nat gas, but we cannot transport it to Europe effectively. And we will not have that capacity for a long time.
The pieces are getting lined up against us. Europe will have to decide pretty soon which way they are going.
I agree China will be the emerging power. But it’s the Russian Bear and Putin who will start the process.
I could not agree more.
