I just realized, China declared war on us and we didn't notice. Worse yet, China already won the war

[Binkie The Clown]

and we never even noticed.

I was working on a project that required some hardware bits and bobs, so I went to the local hardware store and bought a bunch of screws and washers and nuts of various sizes, plus a couple of angle brackets and a new blade for my hacksaw. Everything I bought was stamped "Made in China".

If China wants to completely shut down all American industry all they have to do is to stop sending us nuts and bolts and other bits and pieces of hardware. How are we going to build tanks and planes and bombs if China doesn't send us the hardware to build them with? We've lost the war before we even realize that it's started.

4. China would be dooming itself

We can always move our manufacturing to Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia and India. They provide low value-added products, which are easily made in any country with low wages. They are replaceable. We as customers aren't.

5. They didn't declare war on us.. We are now..United China/U.S.A. as one.

(please read to the bottom, explains why...no war..U.S., South Korea, North Korea..etc..)

I have read that one of the leading holders of U.S. debt is....China...surprise..
Also....we are one of their largest buyers of stuff............................surprise..
Also...we have vested interests there, and they have some here.......surprise.

It ain't pretty, but ..China has exceptionally strong influence in .....North Korea..surprise..

The Chinese are going to do everything possible to stop a war with......North Korea..surprise

The Chinese are an ally of the United States of America....................................surprise..

Now...do you know why the Chinese are going to do everything possible to stop U.S war with North Korea?
answer...The last time there was a war between US..North Korea, and South Korea...China sent a lot of soldiers to fight with North Korea, and a lot of soldiers from China..were killed, died fighting the U.S.A....It ain't pretty, but the Chinese do not want a war in North Korea any more than we do..

6. I have been telling people this for years and they think I am stupid.

China IS NOT our friend. They have known exactly what they have been doing all of this time. China also owns a lot of real estate here and that is to be counted also.

[Stuart G]

7. One more historical fact...China does not, Yes..does not hate, . the U.S.A..

China hates a local country.....China deeply hates Japan ......very bad blood between the two.............

But that is another lesson for another time, and another day.......

8. My new favorite classical pianist (Yuja Wang) is Chinese.

No surprise there. China has as many young piano students as America has people!

9. Oh we noticed.

Union members screamed until they were blue in the face in the 70's 80's and 90's. In the meantime America generally told union workers to go fuck themselves.... what's not to love about big box stores with super cheap prices.

Yeah well. Guess the union workers weren't the only ones who got mowed over are they?

10. Well, this should finish off Trump, if they every do this?

Several screws loose and missed a bunch of nuts!
