The GOP budget would cut S.S. by -4%, Medicare by -24%, Military Retirement by -60%, Veterans Health Benefits, and Law Enforcement by -49%.

So much for back the blue...

Fox News is gonna have to get the spin machine working on full throttle to get the sheep behind this one!

BAAAHH!

Hopefully less people will enlist and when the Establishment gets its mass world war ..........

We can have a draft.

1st round: Elite university students.

2nd round: Highest 401K balances.

Don't enlist to fight Establishment wars.

I felt it would be a bit longer - - like when entitlement and pensions are truly FUBAR'ed ...that and A.I displacing even more people socioeconomically.

You'd have more recruits.

And easier time dividing populaces - even easier than now.

And such war can be used as impetus to curtail Constitutions, and install socially palatable Hunger Games for the masses.

Nope. That's the date where Xi's plans converge. If you know where to look you'll see that quietly info is coming out intended to show what's on the horizon:
https://www.wsj.com/articles/pentagon-prepares-for...

In space, the threats from China range from ground-launched missiles or lasers that could destroy or disable U.S. satellites, to jamming and other cyber interference and attacks in space, said Pentagon officials. China has invested heavily in its space program, with a crewed orbiting station, developing ground-based missiles and lasers as well as more surveillance capabilities. This is part of its broader military aims of denying adversaries access to space-based assets.

The ChiComs are executing a plan that started with the Belt And Road Initiative and continued with their Made in China 2025 plan.

If you look REALLY closely, you see more things like this:
https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/world/honduras-cast...
TEGUCIGALPA (Reuters) - Honduran President Xiomara Castro will travel to China "soon," the Honduran foreign ministry said on Twitter on Wednesday, without providing a date for the trip. (Probably to finalize a deal for basing rights in Honduras)

and this
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-64380572
South Africa is holding a joint military exercise with Russia and China that opposition figures say amounts to an endorsement of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

The US has also criticised the 10-day naval drills, which will continue over the first anniversary of the war in Ukraine.


By themselves a lay person would say "So what?". But China doesn't roll like that. What they're doing is sticking their Navy on all the choke points for trade around the globe.

Add those plus the space stuff and you can see how they're going to approach it: this way when they make their move they can enforce their will economically and by denying us the use of outer space. They'll be able to do what Japan was never able to do - build an economic wall to fend off retaliation from the US.

I could go on. While we're sitting around here arguing about who gets to use what bathroom the Chinese are making their moves.

Wow. The information you cite certainly gives reason to think it could be sooner.

Perhaps another reason they need Trump out of the way.

Nikki is NeoCon Delight.

Ronnie - well, methinks he wisely and admirably took Liberal Taliban to task...but in the end he's smart, and controllable by the Establishment.

Then there's the 2 semi dark horses the Establishment is with: Governors Youngkin - and Kemp.

I wish China had "Putin!!!" - Liberals need to personally hate someone, and then they are happy with war and mayhem.

XI? China? Central Planning dictators -- I wonder how many delegates they have at the next DNC convention.

I personally miss the days when - we knew full well this guy wasn't a nice-guy - but W Bush got along with Putin. Showed some respect. Putin even stayed overnight at the Bush home - replete with Dubya and Senior and both First Ladies attending.

Then the "We hate Putin the killer, but excuse our man XI on Uyghurs" people had to keep increasing NATO and here we are,Ukrainians dying.

If some Ukrainian kid grows up and decides to take flying lessons.....

I personally, don't blame him one but.

In the meantime - Woke Military and Woke Defense cashes its checks, the Establishment Coastals get their think tank jobs.

People - stop enlisting!
