The Pentagon released a priority-shifting National Defense Strategy late Friday that chastised U.S. allies to take control of their own security and reasserted the Trump administration's focus on dominance in the Western Hemisphere above a longtime goal of countering China. n.pr/3LJ9XTx

Opposing China is just too hard for Donald.

Or they paid him off.

Or both.

Tomorrow the Mad King most likely will feel differently.

Depending on what he ate last night.

China No Longer Pentagon's Top Security Priority

Obviously not! Number one priority for our Trump military is getting in line behind Hair Furor to take turns sucking on Poohty's manhood.

Why should they be?

Xi, Vlad, and Donald have a deal; they've already divvied up the world, and what China and Russia do to Asia/India and Europe is their bidness.

Ours is taking over the Western Hemisphere.

Trump and the Republicans Party's priority is dominating America.

Should Trump and Republicans succeed, the future of America will mirror that of the Soviet Union's, North Korea's, and Iran's.

The world will be a much safer place when all of those countries who looked towards the US to bolster their security begin to develop their own nuclear weapons.

"Tomorrow the Mad King most likely will feel differently."

I was thinking about you the other day. I was with some co-workers up in Norway discussing the Greenland thing. They're all fighter pilots. I told them, the US news is basically like barrage jamming-you know what that is-elevate the noise floor to obscure the actual threat picture. And it's working.

I have no idea what is actually going on in the US. I feel like all the major news networks just want controversy. And I get it, that sells adds. That gets clicks. And whether it's MSNBC or OANN, Trump loves it. There is no bad publicity if you're a reality TV star. There are plenty of YouTubers who have made their names by doing really stupid ----. That's what people want to see.

BTW, the current generation of radar jammers are SICK! If you still had access to classified networks, you'd be both amazed and amused.
