THE PENTAGON BUDGET JUST HIT A TRILLION DOLLARS.
Not a single pundit from either political party said “how are we going to pay for it?!”

A strong, calm, confident leader, unlike the Narcissistic arrogant clown show in the USA. We are not dealing with 1950 China. 2025 China is powerful and very advanced. The USA will lose this fight.
