The Cascadia Fault off the coast of Oregon and Washington, if there is an earthquake, could cause the ground to sink up to 7 feet, and bring with it a tsunami. That will be Biblical.

The last great earthquake along the Cascadia Subduction Zone occurred in January 1700, and big events are typically separated by 450 to 500 years, Dura said. However, earthquakes are not “evenly spaced” every time, she noted.

“It could happen any day, but it might not happen till 2100,” Dura said. “We want to look at that because by that time, the climate-driven sea-level rise is expected to become a bigger problem along Cascadia.”

The recent buildup of B-2 bombers and Globemasters at Diego Garcia and other airbases in the Middle East and Asian theaters.....

Looks like Iran is going to see yet another fireworks show.

This is going to be bad for the USA... At first China was partnering with India on this but now they have excluded India for Iran... kind of like what we did with Ukraine yesterday by joining with them for rare earth minerals...
Once this road is completed China will work to adopt our trading partners and to use China's currency instead of the Dollar... this will cause the dollar to lose value... so your savings will be worth less...
This is what we face in the near future...

China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), also known as the New Silk Road, is a global infrastructure development strategy launched in 2013. It aims to connect China with over 150 countries and international organizations through land and sea routes, promoting trade, investment, and infrastructure development. The BRI is composed of two main components: the Silk Road Economic Belt, focusing on land routes, and the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road, focusing on maritime routes.

China's economy appears to be slowing, may be sliding into a depression.
Funding for Belt and Road is disappearing, and many partner nations are nixing the deal with China.
In certain arenas PRChina is looking like a paper tiger.

Not saying there is no threat from China, just that they may not have the punch they have claimed to have.

BTW, given the past and current border disputes between China and India, you sure about them partnering ???
