Do you care about this country?

I read this article a few days ago, but I'm now blocked from accessing it. Still, I believe it was important enough to share here.

If you care about the future of this country, about national security, please read the article and consider it. And perhaps post some of it here, since I can't access the site myself.

But if you don't care about national security, and you're fine with your children being subservient and forced into learning Russian or Chinese someday to survive, then don't worry about it.

I can't even google anything like it; but then how many editorials will talk about the current security crisis and tie it to a Russian or Chinese invasion as you have many times in the past--are you sure you didn't write it?

But FWIW, if my choice was between a home grown dictatorship or another country invading, I would choose the latter as fighting the invaders would be far easier, and much more likely to end with freedom defended.

It might be the only thing successful at reuniting the divided states of America, too.

Big, be patient. Trump will be gone in three years, and if you make your positions appealing to the American people, you could get elected again. The American people do not want massive illegal immigration. If you had done something about that, if Biden had stopped it, Democrats would have won the election.

But if your position is that everybody in the world has the right to come here legally, illegally, or whatever then you will lose, because most Americans are against illegal immigration. That’s just the way it is.

We would eventually lose if they ever gained a foothold on the North American continent. It's only a matter of time, whether you like it or not. We simply don't have the resolve, so we would lose unless we're willing to go nuclear. Would you use nuclear weapons?

[Big RR]

I wouldn't say that about the American public; we have risen to the situation in the past and could do so again if circumstances dictated it. I also wouldn't overestimate the strength or the Russian or Chinese military or their training, equipment or even dedication to their countries. And as for a foothold--we see how well the Russians have exploited the foothold they had in the Ukraine.

Nuclear weapons, while we all would hope not, who knows. "They" could use them as well. Which is why I seriously doubt we'd see an invasion of the type you suggest. There are far better ways for foreign powers to exert their influence over other countries, especially ones so far away; Putin is doing pretty well in controlling Trump.
