Is the Iron Curtain coming back
I know it’s the CCP, but once again we see the pattern of exchanging human liberty for your own good. To protect you. The very same thing that is being peddled here, albeit, still somewhat behind the CCP curve.
Getting ready to go after Taiwan.
Interesting.
“Is the Iron Curtain coming back”
Or, they are keep wealth in the country.
Think Vietnam 1979 times 100.
RE: Is the Iron Curtain coming back
Preventing Capital from Fleeing the Country is my guess.
I’m hearing the “Time to Get Out of Dodge” feeling has been spreading in the PRC.
Hell, the ChiComs are going full Commie - who knew!
Strange that they don’t name the pandemic that’s causing the need for this proactive lockdown.
Next they’ll be welding people in their homes.
Actually, it’s an anti-let’s_get_out_of_here_before_the_repression_starts action.
“Brain Drain”
>>Getting ready to go after Taiwan.<<
Gotta feeling you’re not far off base.
One of the stated reasons is to prevent the import of epidemics. Interesting reasoning by the communists.
We lost 53K+ in Vietnam, that’s nothing for a godless communist nation that puts zero value on human life.
China has the ability to take Taiwan. The country is already heavily infiltrated. There are thousands of SS missiles aimed at Taiwan.
Granted, the chi-coms do not want to destroy Taiwan and it’s manufacturing/technology. They’d much rather take it whole.
That said, the CCP has facilitated a commandeer program that will utilize thousands of private surface vessels to deliver troops to the island.
Not to mention the communist have many American politicians in their pocket and they will turn the screws to keep them from acting on Chinese aggression toward Taiwan. The leftist administration in this country is their (pardon the pun) Trump card.
I believe we should not under estimate these people.

It would also not pay for the Commies to not underestimate a technologically advanced people who have had 70 years to develop their own nukes.
I believe we should not under estimate these people.

Nor over estimate by taking their bluster at face value -
BTW: A lot more Americans than 53K died in Nam. That is just the propaganda number. Small graves registration sites were processing the entire announced monthly casualty number in 67-68. ‘No living relative, no death’ policy of Westmoreland’s - ‘body count’ is everything propaganda.
