So many anons got a bad view of Pence from Timothy Charles Holmseth. Very dodgy guy. Why trust a self proclaimed FBI informant?
That I understand and agree with. But I can say that POTUS is more aware of this than any of us. Not worried about POTUS.
"In fact, China uses so-called “debt diplomacy” to expand its influence. Today, that country is offering hundreds of billions of dollars in infrastructure loans to governments from Asia to Africa to Europe and even Latin America. Yet the terms of those loans are opaque at best, and the benefits invariably flow overwhelmingly to Beijing.
Just ask Sri Lanka, which took on massive debt to let Chinese state companies build a port of questionable commercial value. Two years ago, that country could no longer afford its payments, so Beijing pressured Sri Lanka to deliver the new port directly into Chinese hands. It may soon become a forward military base for China’s growing blue-water navy.
Within our own hemisphere, Beijing has extended a lifeline to the corrupt and incompetent Maduro regime in Venezuela that’s been oppressing its own people. They pledged $5 billion in questionable loans to be repaid with oil. China is also that country’s single largest creditor, saddling the Venezuelan people with more than $50 billion in debt, even as their democracy vanishes. Beijing is also impacting some nations’ politics by providing direct support to parties and candidates who promise to accommodate China’s strategic objectives."

"There can be no doubt: China is meddling in America’s democracy. As President Trump said just last week, we have, in his words, “found that China has been attempting to interfere in our upcoming [midterm] election[s].”
Our intelligence community says that “China is targeting U.S. state and local governments and officials to exploit any divisions between federal and local levels on policy. It’s using wedge issues, like trade tariffs, to advance Beijing’s political influence.”
In June, Beijing itself circulated a sensitive document, entitled “Propaganda and Censorship Notice.” It laid out its strategy. It stated that China must, in their words, “strike accurately and carefully, splitting apart different domestic groups” in the United States of America.
To that end, Beijing has mobilized covert actors, front groups, and propaganda outlets to shift Americans’ perception of Chinese policy. As a senior career member of our intelligence community told me just this week, what the Russians are doing pales in comparison to what China is doing across this country. And the American people deserve to know it.
Senior Chinese officials have also tried to influence business leaders to encourage them to condemn our trade actions, leveraging their desire to maintain their operations in China. In one recent example, China threatened to deny a business license for a major U.S. corporation if they refused to speak out against our administration’s policies."

And not only Soros and China. Many in Europe and the Middle East do the same. Maybe not to the same extent, but there is fuckery everywhere in this regard.
I think so, and hope so. I know for sure that there are many technologies that none of us really know about. We only see tech that is probably at least 25 years behind what the military is currently doing.
Maybe how much dirt there is on DiFi? Or maybe that DiFi really doesn't need to worry about things, cause she isn't going to be alive long? One can only hope!
This one?

Ukraine is Building a Mosquito Navy to Fend Off Russia, With US Help
"Hostilities in the Sea of Azov are heating up, and the U.S. is increasing its involvement.
For some months, Russian vessels have grown increasingly aggressive toward Ukrainian ships in the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov. Now Ukraine is marshalling a bigger response, with U.S. help.
On Thursday, Ukrainian officials will take possession of two U.S. Coast Guard Island-class cutters in Baltimore. The transfer comes amid budding maritime hostilities that Ukrainian officials worry may herald a second wave of aggressive Russian military action.'

POTUS winning huge in trade deals.
He would be much better than her, for sure!
"The Air Force on Thursday referred all questions to the White House. The White House did not respond to Military.com's request for comment by press time.
A possible replacement being floated for Wilson is Alabama Republican Mike Rogers, who had put an emphasis on space in the months preceding the Space Force idea."
