if China was such a threat to the USA why are parking lots full at all the big box stores with people buying all manner of goods made in China? The way i see it no one is forcing any one to buy Chinese products.

They are getting rich selling us cheap garbage with exploited resources designed in part by technologies stolen and forcibly signed over to them for sinister motives from innovators around the world. What's the problem?

What kinds of intellectual property have they extracted from the companies of the USA and elsewhere? How do they set these deals into motion in the first place? How has the pocketbooks of Mitch McConnell and the Joe Biden family changed wrt them?

Is China selling military weapons to bad actors on the world's stage?

No wait a minute. Let's talk about Walmart. Let's talk about Russia. Let's talk about M13 gangbangers at the border with babies in their arms.

Well speaking of Walmart, does China, border towns along the Rio Grande etc. follow the same rules, regulations, human rights incentives, etc. as the US? Same tariffs? Is the playing field level?

Does the media function the same way in China as in the USA? Playing field...

I show no compassion to the addict who doesn't want to move or doesn't care.

If an addict doesn't care, I can't care. You can't care. It's a spiritual law.

Thusly, if an addict cares, I must care. You must care. It's a spiritual law.

Where the problem arises is when addiction becomes an industry. Mix in politics and you've got a disaster. Who pays for it? The non-addict.

It's not because their relatives had a drug problem, obviously. Nuh-uh.

I know it's tough, but you may want to consider this: Part of why Mexico is so severely effed up because it borders an affluent country whose people have an inextinguishable appetite for illegal drugs. Who provides the drug lords with a billion-dollar market? US citizens. The criminal enterprises in Mexico are funded by the bad habits of Americans.

The comparison is so flat-out incongruous, one almost feels sorry for the electrons wasted in typing it.

Middletown fentanyl ring has ties to Mexican cartel, feds say

The country has caused more death, misery and economic harm to America than Al Queda could ever dream of.

Countless numbers of American families are losing relatives because of the drug-trafficking rushing in Fentanyl across the border.

The illegal aliens are causing massive amounts of disease in our cities also. I rode a Metro train from Long Beach to Los Angeles and a women who could not speak English defecated on the train I believe to make American's sick.

Lots of illegal aliens want to make American's sick by defecating and not flushing or throwing it in a trash can.
Congress is worse than any of them.
