The East Juggernaut, China

Is the choice ours or is it too late?

**Are We Holding by a Thread?** — By special permission of the Artist. Not for Commercial use.

China Enters the Picture Subtly

The visit of Putin to China was multifaceted, A United East front being the main one; another facet was the invasion of Ukraine. China did not move a finger and waited until Putin showed up.

For all we know, China is using their 4,000-year existence and lessons they learned on-patience. Wait for the right time and things will fall into place. Patience is the main ingredient of their perennial tactics because they live with the certainty they will be here for as long as the Earth lasts. They can, they have 20% of Earth’s population, they are hard-working and save 50% of their income (minimalists), making it available for currency use (the average American has 8% in savings, we are materialists and hoarders and then, blame it on “Capitalism”).

On Chinese Patience

They have a history of doing this. The Richest and best fighters and Conquerors of their time were the Mongols. The Hun invasion of the known world started in 370 A.D. when they crossed the Volga and invaded the Alan, the Ostrogoth Germanic Goths, and forced the Visigoths to run and hide in the Roman Empire. By the 5th century, they were attacking the Roman Empire with Attila the Hun and went through now France before they were stopped by malaria in front of Rome.

The Chinese absorbed the World conqueror Mongol conquest by Genghis Khan in the 1200s, during the reign of the Jin Empire. The Chinese then had a population of 53 Million, and they could not stop the Mongols, population 1 Million. Within 3 years the Mongols made it to now Beijing. By the time of Genghis Khan’s death, they ruled an area stretching from China’s Yellow Sea to Iran’s Caspian Sea. The Mongols were effective in institutionalizing authoritarian rule in China which helped the Chinese learn to fight and promoted a rebellion by the mid-1300. Whatever Mongols remained in China were absorbed by the Ming Dynasty (1368–1644). It took them a while but, they got there.

Current Situation

One assumption at this point is, the tactical war started with the spread of COVID-19. It put ALL of the West on its heels. This is the first major distraction.

China can afford it people-wise, however, knowing what they were going to do, they probably developed a vaccine ahead of time, at least, for the military and essential personnel. Also, we do not know how they helped Russia in that regard. Meanwhile, what did our epidemiologist CDC expert Fauci suggest we do? — quarantine the entire country and single-handedly killed our economy with a FULL STOP! Worse mistake ever made (we all have 20/20 looking back, don’t we). We are still working on the logistics of starting it up again. We imitated what the Chinese had done for show in Wuhan China, we can suspect now, for show, since no international flights were stopped while domestic flights were. Apparently this quarantine also did not stopped their economy. They never shared any data on their COVID-19 spread. This makes sense if the assumptions are correct.

On the Russian Front

All Putin has to do is ask China for ANY help and they have it. It doesn’t have to be public, remember the Korean War? They sent one million soldiers across the North Korean border, many without guns with orders to pick one up as others died. We did not have enough bullets and OUR General Staff did not believe the news when it first hit, delaying our reaction, thus promoting a retreat. That as they say, is how the cookie crumbles. China had the numbers. Today they have that AND the Technology.

China is playing to “keep all the marbles.” This is already known — they are buying Saudi Oil using their own currency, NOT Petro-Dollars. They are out to win ALL the economic battles first. Russia is just their front puppet to poke the west in the “eye.”

Russia is really “another distraction.”

On The Home Front

Meanwhile, what are we doing? We voted in the exact President the Chinese wanted in charge. This President followed through (as if we lived in a vacuum), killed the Keystone pipeline, and all our energy supplies needed to continue to grow our economy. Instead, made us dependent on Russian oil. China could not have planned this better themselves.

Further, everybody is totally distracted bickering among ourselves about home politics!!!! If this continues, WE won’t be a Super-power much longer. We have taken our eyes off the ball for too long. how is our economy? We are 30 Trillion dollars in debt with no idea how we are going to pay for it. We are now “helping Ukraine” and sinking more money in a modern-style Mongol invasion.

We are sitting on a rusty chain chair, on the precipice of our life as a free Country — Attribution here

On the other hand, the West is lost without our leadership and right now, there is NONE.

We have put sanctions on “Russia” that impairs the US and everybody else in the World! China is the biggest producer in the WORLD of basic materials, It is the world's largest producer of rare-earth (needed by our Military), concrete, steel, fertilizer, and clothing. This is not Mao Zedong China, this is modern China, focused on production. This war was designed to make China the number one Economy in the world with an acceleration rate that will leave us in the dust.

Meanwhile, what have we done with “our Freedom?” Tear each other apart like boxers in a ring. The “Freedom” designed by our founders is NOT guaranteed and will not last forever if we continue “as is.” We do not live in a vacuum and, have such false pride today, we think the world will wait until we get our house in order?

These are the stakes:

1. People make the government secure our freedom while we work to keep our economy vibrant through judicious picks for government service.

2. Government make the people do as they plan with no guarantee for individual freedom in order to secure the economy.

President Clinton was right about one thing when he said, “it’s the economy stupid!” (Today, we are the “stupid” part)

China has the LONG VIEW. We are so full of ourselves, we can’t see the forest, for the trees. Not only that, we are chopping them down as fast as we can because some are of the wrong make and, both sides believe the other is “an infestation!”

Is that a way to “build” a long-lasting country? We are but one breath in the time of China’s existence as a people. And, the view only changes if you are the lead dog of the economy sled.

Afterthought -

Compared to the Mongol Juggernaut, our duration (250 years) as a people, is but one blink of an eye in time. Their invasions were devastating to the world. A hand driven atomic bomb to humanity.
