While Washington told Americans to wear blue and yellow and pledge their allegiance to the Ukraine flag in the name of freedom, a real threat rose to America’s south. Red China is becoming the most influential nation to South America as it tethers South American countries to its growing economy.
The U.S. Naval Institute reported on March 8, “Recent Chinese actions, like financing a $3 billion container port, establishing a space monitoring station near the Straits of Magellan and buying lithium mining operations in three South American nations, pose increasing risks to U.S. security, senior military commanders said Wednesday.

FTA - "Every action Biden takes helps Red China, particularly the economic sanctions, which have pushed Russia, Iran, Iraq and Saudi Arabia closer to the communist country. This is not by accident nor is it the unintentional consequence of his arbitrary and reckless attack on the Russian economy."
The objectives underlying the Great Election Fraud of 2020 couldn't be more obvious. Xi and the chicoms are most pleased. And Amerika's sheeple have no clue and even if they did, don't care.

China is certainly a threat, but the REAL threat to the Republic is the Democrat Party and the people in power, some of whom may be on the Chinese payroll.

The influence of China in South America has been going on for a lot longer that this Ukraine business. The South American countries are just following the money. If huge amounts of money were still coming from the U.S. as it has been done in the past, these countries would be influenced by the U.S. China will learn just as the U.S. has learned, that throwing money at places like Central America and Africa is just like flushing money down the drain.

As #4 mentions, you can only rent allies until a better offer comes along.

Well, this is a chilling reality to wake up to on this Saturday morning. Trump had a handle on China and XiJinping’s goals and he had him on a short leash. Now Biden has let him off leash and he is dominating the entire world. I am sure Xi felt the sting of Trump’s unwillingness to bend and he is now easily exploiting a more than willing greedy old Joe. Money makes Joe’s world go ‘round, right? While democrats are focusing on the culture and getting Trump arrested, Xi is moving to consolidate his power across the globe. The fools in the Biden administration are focused on Trump and Xi is focused on our demise. What is it going to take for Republicans to wake up to the threat that China poses? Oh wait, sorry, I forgot our political class is too busy lining their pockets with Chinese largesse. Everywhere you look in this government, there are traitors who care nothing for this country and its people, just show them the money! It’s all about them and the wealth they can accumulate. There isn’t a serious statesmen among them that understands the threats we are under. We are being hammered on every side and Joe is shuffling around like a fool making up stupid little stories to get a laugh. If you think our enemies around the globe are not laughing at him and gleefully watching our respect and influence around the world collapse, you are the fool. The world sees us as a depraved, entitled, bigoted, paper tiger that is living on the reputation of our glory days when we were a force to be reckoned with. No more. Even Mexico is eating our lunch. Thank you democrats and weak-kneeled republicans. You have brought us to the place where we are quickly becoming a laughingstock. Joe’s an overachiever in that regard and is already there, but the country is right behind him.

Let China plow all that money into South America and Africa. They will find out in 20 years just how effective it was. Those dirt poor to the core countries will take ANYTHING someone else offers them, Use it up and toss it aside, without letting it influence their culture except superficially. My example is Afghanistan. I was reading an article in the doctors office about the dire straits those people are in, after 20 years of US assistance and could only shake my head. Not one mind changed and not one whit of progress. Sigh. All that money, just gone. Meanwhile countries like ours, that are a mish-mash of cultures, no solid bedrock of values and mores, we will fall to China. Sad.

One step at a time...first WE take back our government...and then President Trump will deal with china...as to the lithium in South America...it's nothing compared to the largest lithium deposits in the world being in Ukraine ...hence the war by Putin for access...and let's not forget the grain harvest that Ukraine provides to Europe...and there...folks...is the reason for the war...I continue to pray for the people of Ukraine...they were used as dupes to make Americans feel sorry for them and give credibility to the war....

Trying to see the putin side of the ukraine argument, it was asked in a thought experiment “how would the US respond if China put offensive weapons systems in Mexico? Any different from what Russia is doing with Ukraine?”
In 10 years the Dims might have accomplished an enactment of that thought experiment.
