Now that Trump is sinking us on education and science, China will have or maybe already has the superior military, tech wise. They will be able to pop over and take resources. They’ve surveilled, remember the balloons? Not high tech per se, but if you consider the means as a camouflage on immediate threat and a +10 to hide in plain sight it makes more sense.

Remember. China stopped selling chips to our defense contractors right after Trump, this time around. Why?

Many of the things Trump is doing that are making headlines right now are helping tank the military. I know, we want shrinkage on what we dole out to defense contractors. That’s not this. What Trump is doing is lowering the quality by reducing tech and the education to pull from to run, develop, and innovate that tech. China never stopped working on those things.

Consider the world game here. Climate change is here and that makes the new long game a resource consolidation to try to be last country standing as things crumble. Resource consolidation IS why Trump is going on about Greenland and Canada.

And they stopped selling us rare earth minerals. We won't even be able to build anything more complex than a toaster

Time to crank up Nano-C research, like transistors, resistors, semiconductors made from graphene, carbon nanotubes.
