The article makes some excellent points. China knows the game. They lend with a quiet nod, a sly wink—money handed over with strings no one sees. And these nations with pockets full of holes and hands shaking for more, they bite. They bite because the bait is sweet, and the hook, it's hidden deep.

Unlike the IMF and World Bank, the Chinese don’t ask for covenants. They ask for collateral. It’s a chessboard, and they want to hold the queens.

A mine, a power plant, or, let's say, the Panama Canal—these are chips in a high stakes pot. And when the debts go unpaid, as they always do, China cashes in. Not just on land and metal, but on leverage. Leverage to bend a nation, maybe even to ignite fires of political unrest if it suits them.

So it goes. A loan here, a port there, until the map’s redrawn with debts and the debtors can’t remember freedom.

Piece this together with all the other areas china is meddling: technology theft, wokism, politics, land grabs, school ownership/curriculum hijacking, Hollywood manipulation, etc. and it's hard to believe the kardashian watching boiling frog US citizenry will ever see the blatantly obvious.

I even know a former Russian that has watched Michael and doesn't see china as a threat to the US.

I have known some seriously skilled male and female hunters and outdoorsman and women over the years. As of the last count in 2020, there are 15,158,443 hunters in the U.S. In addition, there are millions of male and female pistol and rifle target shooters. Marksman and women accurate out to a 1,000 yards or more. In 2022, the number of handgun target shooters in the United States was approximately 13.3 million alone! Incidentally, the total size of the U.S. military is only 2.1 million.

The American men and women who defeated the greatest military in the world at the time were hunters, marksman and outdoorsman and women. With Biden allowing over ten million foreign invaders including skilled military age men crossing our border, a woke military in disarray and without weapons since they are being depleted faster than they can be made or left behind somewhere, these descendants of American’s Minute Men and Minute Women most likely will have to save America all over again.

In December of 1941, my father was on a steamer headed for the Panama Canal. Only twenty-one years old, he hadn't finished but two years of Engineering at what was then a prestigious City College Of New York. Nonetheless he was being sent to Panama by The Department of Commerce to work on the enlargement and widening of the canal. The steamer got as far as Port au Prince Haiti, when on December 7th Japan bombed Pearl Harbor. That ship turned around, headed back to New York. The Panama canal enlargement project was abandoned. Within a few months, my father and his four brothers had all joined the army. My father was later injured at Normandy; he worked as a piping engineer all over the world in the decades after.

Widening the canal would have been a multi year project, would have sucked a lot of money, men and other resources from the war effort everywhere else in World War Two.

I remember hearing on “free press” back then, that Japan was negotiating w Panama to build an additional improved canal. Before that deal was contracted, US took out Noriega who no longer was “our boy”.

Thank you for the hard yards you put in shouting from the rooftops. The Chinese are desperately trying to secure the food and commodity inputs they require to keep their nation fed and functioning. Unlike the US, they do not contain all the natural resources they need within their borders. They have gone about this in an efficient way. The US should learn from their moves, but we are too busy whining about how many genders there are.
