I remember when President Reagan was newly elected,  he started on a path to defeat the Soviet Union. It was a scary time as it seemed as if the march of the Soviet Union was unstoppable; they were on the move around the globe and the U.S. was still suffering from the fall of Viet Nam. Our military seemed to be in disarray, the economy was struggling to bounce back from the Carter administration and the national psyche was at a low point.

President Reagan believed that the U.S. could defeat the Soviet Union thanks to our powerful economy, but it takes time to rebuild a military which can fight on a worldwide scale. Could we rebuild our military fast enough or would the Soviet Union act in a key area such as Western Europe? We now know that it indeed was a dangerous time because after the fall of the Soviet Union, warehouses of victory banners and medals, Cyrillic Street signs destined for Paris, Bonn and the rest of Western Europe were found in Soviet military warehouses. Despite all the nay sayers, Reagan’s dream of victory was achieved. Unfortunately, there were no Nuremberg trials for those in the Soviet system who had enslaved and murdered millions during their time in power.

Today, we face another adversary, one which is more dangerous, that being Communist China. It is more dangerous not only because it has an economy that the old Soviet Union could only dream of, but also more dangerous because of it’s willingness to pay, with its citizens lives and those of any advisory, to attain its ultimate goal; to become the number one superpower in the world. 

Years ago, I read Unrestricted Warfare by Qiao Liang and Wang Xiangsui in which they argue that both financial and political forces can be used to defeat a technologically superior force such as the United States. Since then, there is no doubt that China’s military technology has grown enormously (thanks in part to their excellent efforts in stealing Western secrets), and their economic power has also shown amazing growth. Yet the attached link points to another aspect of Chinese military thought, that of the willingness to used biological warfare on a scale never seen before in the history of the world.

Chinese military writings, strictly controlled by the Party, openly writes of exterminating an enemy using biological weapons. At the same time, in the United States, we find the Chinese government purchasing thousands of acres of prime farmland, often near key U.S. military bases, and constructing biological research labs across the U.S. Given that the Chinese government paid no price for their part in the release of Covid-19 which has led to the death worldwide of nearly seven million, it is easy to understand why China believes that it can unleash new horrors on the world.

The attached article should be a wake-up call to those who believe we may be entering into a new Cold War with China. We may very well be at war against a timetable which we ignore at our own peril.
