  1. That's a fairly nuanced comment and I agree. The real threat from China isn't military its subterfuge. There's an interesting interview from way back in 1984 with former KGB Agent Yuri Bezmenov. There's a fairly crappy right wing channel offensive freedom but its got an excerpt from that interview focussing on the Russian strategy. Its title is "KGB defector Yuri Bezmenov's warning to America (1984)" and its 6:49 long. You can find the full interview elsewhere but this short part is interesting. Bezmenov is 100% wrong on how effective the Russians were. After all the Soviet system collapsed and the West rolled on. That or they had very low expectations. What 's important is the reason they weren't effective back then. It wasn't the strategy. It was the lack of a delivery system. BUT THESE DAYS we have social media which is the perfect delivery system for what the Russians wanted to do. Here is where it gets scary. What do you call a lump of technology that tracks everywhere people go and who they talk to? Most people would call it a surveillance system but these days we call it Tik Tok. YES Tik Tok tracks where you go so it can be very helpful and point out places you might like. Part of loading it up is allowing it access to your photo album which means YOU HAVE GIVEN IT ACCESS past any firewall you have AND YES the Australian DSTO announced that it can access things OTHER THAN the photo album including the call logs and messaging systems. This is WHY the US Government banned it for all government employees. And the craziest aspect of Tik Tok is that the Chinese Communist Party didn't have to force it on anyone. Millions of sheep just uploaded it for free AND voluntarily allowed the CCP to start tracking them.
