Taiwan has the semi conductor technology and workers who know how to use it. West does not. WE have made one test which failed that I know of.

Maybe why China is at odds with Taiwan now?. Maybe why Nancy Pelosi, in her true mafia manner , was accompanied by B 52s when she made a state visit to Taiwan?

Anyway, strong arming didn't work so well back then, with OUR enormous debt and no real tax base anymore to pay it back.WE probably didn't look so powerful even with the B 52s.

Russia has hypersonic weaponry technology . The west doesn't. This means WE will never win a ground war with the east.

Hypersonic weapons go 5 times the speed of sound and can change directions mid course.

Maybe why the great American prophet, Edgar Cayce, said of the times we are living in, "the power will go to the east."

Don't think WE handled it so well. Good luck to the east. May we all have peace.
