America bombs, China builds is more or less the distilled truth of it.

America is impoverishing its own with federal debt now expanding by US$1 trillion every 100 days as interest is paid on existing debt. The 2024 budget deficit is estimated at $1.5 trlllion, down from an actual $1.7 trillion in 2023.

the deficit is partly due to the military spend in 2024 estimated at $825 billion. Early this month congress approved a further $61 billion in aid for its proxy war in Ukraine against Russia.

Australian readers will be pleased that the US Navy late April took delivery of the latest Virginia-class nuclear attack submarine at a cost of US$4.3 billion. Australia has signed up for 7 or 8 of these vessels some of which could be delivered next decade for a price up to A$368 billion.

a few days after Australia's defense establishment clutched desperately at their pearls when China dropped flares ahead of an Oz chopper in or near Chinese waters, the US, mAustralia and the Phillipines conducted live missile exercises in the South China Sea. Can you imagine the apoplexy if China, Russia and Iran did this off San Diego?

the ADF is now little more than a unit of the US military and Australia is a US military base under a Force Posture Agreement signed in 2014. Australia's defense policy and intel services are increasingly hard wired into the US. Australia's foreign policy now seems wholly written by those from defense.

the last nation China invaded was Vietnam in 1979. It withdrew after a week or so.

since then, China has built a society in which 800 million of its citizens no longer live in poverty and they haven't finished yet. The transformation has been nothing short of remarkable.

fear mongering by pearl clutchers about China wanting to destroy the west is bs. In fact Australia's economic prosperity for the past 25 years at least has been underwritten by China.

China has never threatened Australia, despite the fairy tales that pearl clutchers like to spin. Former federal Liberal Party minister Andrew Robb knew this when he agreed to the long-term lease of Darwin port in 2016. Surely.

oh TikiTok. There's no doubt part of the reason why the US Congress has agreed to ban Chinese ownership of this social media is because its an avenue for imdependent news and analysis outside the MSM, which operate as propaganda outlets for the US empire. US lawmakers don't want college students exposed to the US-facilitated genocide in Gaza.

America bombs China builds.

Very well written. It seems American leadership are more concerned with global domanince than the health of their nation at this point and China is no leader in human rights but one could easily argue their cities are much cleaner, more updated, better infrastructure, etc
