The Americans are out to bleed us dry. To them we are only good for supplying them with natural resources. Until we stand up for ourselves and start doing less business with them and more with other nations, we will continue our way to extinction as a country. I don’t trust China either and have commented countless times about how dangerous they are. But I also feel that it may be in our best interests to play China off against the Americans when it suits our purposes. It’s a dangerous game, to be sure. Mind you, these are dangerous times and we need to re-think all that we’ve been taking for granted for too many decades.
