The Realities Of Trump's Trade War: VICE on HBO Special Report

Threats to US national security will expand and diversify in the coming year, driven in part by China and Russia as they respectively compete more intensely with the United States and its traditional allies and partners. This competition cuts across all domains, involves a race for technological and military superiority, and is increasingly about values. Russia and China seek to shape the international system and regional security dynamics and exert influence over the politics and economies of states in all regions of the world and especially in their respective backyards.

"Trade wars are good and easy to win," President Donald J. Trump famously tweeted. But how would one really impact everyday Americans?

Do you believe Dan Coats about China Ron or don't you? Does Dan Coats agree with Trump about China or doesn't he?

YOUR QUESTION: Do you believe Dan Coats about China Ron or don't you?

MY REPLY: YES I DO. Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats issued one of the starkest and most explicit warnings to date about China's cyber activities, calling them "unprecedented in scale" and explicitly aimed at undermining U.S. interests at home and abroad.

In remarks at The Citadel, a military college in South Carolina, Coats said the Chinese government is actively targeting U.S. state and local governments and officials, "trying to exploit any divisions between federal and local levels on policy." He did not name either states or officials, nor did he elaborate on which policies had been targeted.

And do you remember what he said about the Belt and Road plan?

That's right Ron. The question was asked about it towards the end of the hearing. Do you remember that Q&A?

What question was that Steve?

The question we are talking about Ron. Never mind, I'll find it, since you can't even keep track of THIS conversation.

You should’ve had it ready in the first place.

I asked YOU Ron because I couldn't remember what was said. At that point I was trying to figure out what "Belt and Road" was. Don't worry about it, I will find it.

Michael Bennet asks about it at 1:33:35. The reason I asked Ron is because trade and tarrifs are not the only areas that China is an economic threat, and if we don't check them on trade it will empower them to cause us further damage by other means, like the belt and road initiative. The reason the President's trade initiatives are painful is that our previous leaders dropped the ball and Trump is there to make sure it doesn't happen again. That is why America will give him a full 8 years.

That man will not get a second term Steve.

Why not Ron?

By that time Mueller's investigation should be up and the information about TRUMP will be out their for the people can take a damn good look at Trump actions and The people will speak loudly and their voice will be heard.

And the people will know Mueller failed entirely, and the people will see how Trump has made America great again. There is always a good reason when Presidents don't get a second term, like Carter's **** up with Iran and George H.W. Bush's **** up with the Gulf War and taxes.

And TRUMP as will be up over this WALL Bull 💩.

You've got 21 months to go before any hope of proof. I think you may have a nervous breakdown before then Ron.

LOL!!!! LOL!!!! You wish. LOL!!! LOL!!! That is the best laugh I had all day. LOL!!! WOW!!! What a MAROON!!! LOL!!!
