Find everyone that was contacted by the Chinese government and didn't report. We know Wisconsin state senator Roger Roth is a patriot. Put him in charge of the CCP purge.

Can we have a CCP purge?

I just got hope for the future.

Yes, you can, and we do.

  1. Pompeo fired the first shot across the bow. He put every State Governor on notice.

  2. Harvard University Professor and Two Chinese Nationals Charged in Three Separate China Related Cases.

  3. Example 1, 2, and 3.

You can find many more if you take the time to do a few searches. There is an ongoing sweep of people colluding with China and Chinese nationals here in the U.S.

This will lead to top officials... as usual.

Trump is still cleaning house, we just don't see it in the MSM, and people forget.

What about Newsom. I doubt he reported his alleged deal w/ the Chinese to send them $1.5 billion in taxpayer money and them sending all kinds of machine guns over here thru the San Pedro/Long Beach port . . . and . . . a lot more. Why is nothing happening w/ that?

You mean, slimy used-car salesman guy?

He looks attractive at first glance, but when you look closer...

Well, he reminds me of the Mayor in Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

why do you think china wants us in afghanistan?

LirukDatan 10 points ago +12 / -2

I think that maybe China wants someone to prevent a power vacuum from forming in Afghanistan, to prevent Russia from geting its hands on it. Once Russia croaks, China will no longer need placeholders there, and will be able to spread its influence there. Then it will no longer try to push for US troop presence in the region.

Also, the US sending soldiers anywhere costs money, and why not exhaust the resources of your enemy/competitor on the global arena while you're at it.

Russia failed in Afghanistan when they had a good military. They might have an in through a proxy like Syria or Iran but I'm not sure what the play would be exactly. A baseless invasion would not go well for any nation especially a large one. Best they could do is fund anti-Taliban forces- which would be pretty cheap.

Also, the US sending soldiers anywhere costs money, and why not exhaust the resources of your enemy/competitor on the global arena while you're at it.

this is the most convincing argument. i'm just not convinced that china had to do much, if any convincing. clearly many in our government want our troops there still. again, I think our companies benefit from this more than china. I could see China doing it just to fuck us and Russia potentially.

China is deeply involved in mining rare earth minerals in Afghanistan. The US military operating in the region is acting as a defacto security force for the Chinese. Our guys are perceived by the jihadis as an invading army. We are seen by the more militantly minded locals as "the bad guys". I would bet dollars to doughnuts Chinese intelligence does a lot to help the jihadis see us that way. If we brought our soldiers home some of the locals might just get the idea into their head that Afghanistan's prescious resources should be mined by afghanis and sold to enrich Afghanistan, not China. How would we feel if China showed up in all the US oil fields and began milking them dry without hiring any Americans to work the fields and without any money from the sale of that oil going to Americans?

it's hard to make this argument while not simultaneously tacitly making an argument for us to stay. if this is indeed china's play- why not stay and reap the benes instead?

the chinese are def funding some of the jihadis either directly or indirectly but it's not like that is a new thing in the region. perhaps they are playing both sides of the equation: either force us to stay due to the almost unwinnable situation while they continue to profit or just continually underming whatever we do there for shits and giggles and to rat fuck us good.

i'm not convinced they have a unique longterm strategy there aside from their normal influence peddling and debt and aid traps.

Heroin trade?

1
KuhlooKuhlay 1 point ago +1 / -0

my hunch is the chicoms use the drug trade more as a destabilizing force than a source of large amounts of profit. probably a mix of both. I know there are estimated to be a few trillion in mining resources there. the entire global drug trade is maybe 1/6 of that and heroin is like the cheapest drug.

It should be too hard for Disco Sylvester. Start with food concessions at Houston airports and proceed a bit further.
