Especially when you can sprint to the defense of communist China, who just killed 65,000 Americans and likely will tally up 135,000 dead Americans before dust settles, and their shill CNN! The only good democrat is a covid-19 infected democra
It is worth mentioning China didn't become a superpower until it embraced state capitalism, an economic system modeled on a cancer cell now being undone by a virus and a corrupt crony-capitalist posing as POTUS.
As far as US deaths are concerned, place the blame where it belongs:
15 times Trump praised China as coronavirus was spreading across the globe
"Jan. 24,
Twitter:
"'China has been working very hard to contain the Coronavirus. The United States greatly appreciates their efforts and transparency. It will all work out well. In particular, on behalf of the American People, I want to thank President Xi!'"
China isn't a superpower, it simply has nukes courtesy of Bill & Hillary Clinton..... They have exactly one support/supply ship for their entire navy, which includes one functional Russian supplied carrier, and one future Chinese produced carrier, the USN has at least two such ships for every battle group! The United States could splash their entire navy in about 72-96 hours time.... China's only source of real power resides within its monetary control of the United States democratic party and its leadership, Hollywood which communist China clearly owns, and every American business Clinton, Bush, and Obama sent to them..... Militarily China would be an absolute laugher, of course the democratic party and its supporters would fight for China, the party leadership because they have no choice, the party faithful because they were and remain stupid enough to actually have bought into the utopian fantasy.....
So an adolescent wingnut thinks Ghina obtained nuclear weapons from Bill & Hillary Clinton?
So in 1964 an 18 year old Bill Clinton....
Clinton sold China the secrets on how to keep a missle in the air. Before that, they couldn't do it. A nuclear missle is useless sitting on a launch pad.
Pure bullshit.
Then you're an idiot or young. They did it, my gosh they taught everyone else Republican and Democrat how to sell us out. Wake up!
Forgive me for disagreeing, but History is one of those things that really interests me. China began fielding modified and heavily improved locally produced copies of the Soviet Project 629 submarines, which were diesel electric nuclear ballistic missile submarines. We called this class of Submarine the Golf. One sank off of Hawaii. One of the Conspiracy Theories of the sinking of K129 was the location which suggested that the Chinese were to get the blame for launching nuclear weapons at Pearl Harbor. The Chinese produced missiles did not have the range, or accuracy, in 1968, that Soviet systems had.
These missiles were early sea launched versions of the Scud missile. China tore them apart, learned how they worked, and began working to improve and copy them. I know, I have a Wen Generator that is an almost exact copy of a Honda Generator. For less than half the price.
China’s internally developed missiles were operational as early as the early 1970’s, when Nixon was leaving the White House, and Clinton was looking to become the Attorney General of Arkansas, if he could avoid Vietnam.
Your comments are the same sort of silly nonsense that ran around the Country after Pearl Harbor. We didn’t want to believe the little Yellow folks could make a functional carrier or attack planes much less plan an attack and carry it out without help. Many “experts” swore that when the record was set straight, we would find that the attack in Pearl Harbor, was really planned in Berlin.
Rocket‘s and Missiles, are nothing more than Math and Engineering, which is of course, more math. If there is one thing that we know the Asian’s have always been good at, it’s math. That is not racism, that is accepting reality, and history.
China’s problem was never that they were not smart enough, or educated enough. The problem was always that those with the power, were not always worthy, and unlike our own leaders, did not answer to anyone but their own subordinates. And the only answer they wanted was Yes sir.
China has had both Submarines, and Missiles, for a long time. They may not have been state of the art, but they were functional. Yes, they stole our W-80 design, and yes, they stole anything else they could. But when we look at their products, we see elements of ours, the English, Soviet, and later Russian elements are there as well as French.
See post #71 moron..... Then, read the ******* post Mr History Buff..... Check ******* mate!
I often wish that people were half as smart as they pretend to be. It would be a massive improvement. Especially in your case. You see, there has been tons of discussion of this issue for decades. Ever since the Cox Report of 1998. In it, the Republican Congressman‘s Intel Committee unanimously agreed that information had been going to China for twenty years and harmed US National Security. Now, how Bill Clinton managed it in 1978 when he was a podunk Politician in Arkansas is beyond me, but we will deal in truth, instead of your post it note version of history.
So how did this come about? Well, first of all NASA shut down Apollo, and for a long time the only way we Americans had to get Satellites into orbit was the Thor Missile, which in Civilian use was and still is called the Delta rockets.
These were expensive, and could not lift the heavier satellites. So the communications companies who brought you Satellite TV a few years later looked at the world and found that there were other options. The cheapest was the Chinese Missiles that had been repurposed to Space Launches. Ronald Reagan was President now, and approved this, because doing things cheaper is good.
The Shuttle was not yet ready, and after Challenger, few CivilIan Satalites would be launched via the Shuttle. It was too expensive, and unreliable. Even subsidized as it was by NASA, it was still more expensive.
But the Chinese Copies of the Russian Missiles had a problem. It wasn’t a big problem when dealing with 5 Megaton City Smasher Nukes. I mean, when dealing with Nuclear Weapons close enough, usually is. But when dealing with precision delivery of Communications Satellites it was a problem. A few miles off course, or too high, and it was a major issue. So Hughes Aircraft and Lorain Communications started to work with the Chinese to improve the Rockets. All with the permission of the Republican Run Administration of Reagan and Bush 41. Clinton was now a Governor.
All the while Chinese Security Services, the Chinese CIA, was doing what our side was doing too, trying to learn all they could about our secrets, and the Russian Secrets, and the French, who would sell it under the table, for a song and a dance.
During this period, the 1970’s and 1980’s, France was improving their Nuclear Weapons and Missiles. Our Scientists were prohibited from helping the French design it. But they got around that for our ”Allies” by shaking their head slightly when shown the plans the French were exploring. If the Frogs were on the wrong path, the scientist would shake his head. If they were on the right path they would say “I’m sorry, we can’t be of any help.”
Now, Reagan and Bush, and Clinton all wanted closer relations with China. Reagan for cheaper business environment because competition good. Clinton for world peace because world peace was good.
By the end of the Clinton Administration the Republicans like Cox were screaming that the design for the Explosive Bolts to help separate the Satellite from the rocket could be repurposed to separate nuclear weapon payloads from the same rocket.
Now the dirty little secret is that all the stuff you blame Clinton for, was going on since Carter was President, and through the administration of Reagan, and Bush. All this so you could get a more reliable picture of the Super Bowl or whatever.
Now, if you want to discuss a real scandal, then go to rockets again. The Delta Rockets we mentioned above, were redesigned for a new engine. Only it wasn’t a new engine when the Soviet Union broke up. It was a thirty year old engine that they had designed, tested, and built for their Moon program that was canceled. Those engines were more powerful than our own, and as relations with Putin were degrading, we were stuck buying Russian Engines because they were the only ones powerful enough and small enough to work at getting our payloads into orbit.
To summarize that development. The fuel pumps on a Rocket Engine are essentially a Jet Engine. The exhaust from that Jet Engine is blown overboard on American designs. In Russian Designs, this superheated air, highly compressed, is injected into the combustion chamber. It increases the power of the rocket motor with not much more weight or complexity.
We had looked at that design, and decided it was too unstable, and would be too difficult, nearly impossible to make it work. The Russians had it working, and was making money off of us selling us those engines.
The same Soviet era type systems that were sold to China, and then copied by China, in the 1960’s. The designs that are essentially used today to reach the International Space Station.
The Chinese would have been right behind the Russians if not for the Cultural Revolution which decimated their scientific base.
Now, the real problem is this. Not that Clinton sent tech that nobody else would have. It was just the next step in developing the ability to launch satellites for civilian use. None of the tech was significantly different than what they were already using. It was just a little more refined. The exception was computer hardware, and encryption hardware. Of course, by that time, we were sending most of that stuff over there to be built by Taiwanese Companies. Or are you silly enough to believe that nobody in Taiwan is a Chinese Spy?
