Arms Race Heats Up: Just As China Reveals Space Nukes, America Responds With Trans Admiral WORLD—The arms race is heating up between the U.S. and China.
Just last week, China revealed its brand new "space nukes", which are capable of easily nuking any country on the planet.

From Peter Schweizer at gatestoneinstitute.org: The actions of the Beijing government since the earliest days of concern about the disease have shown in stark relief how a closed, authoritarian society tries to deny and shift blame for its misdeeds. How it seeks to co-opt international health agencies. How it tries to bribe foreigners to do its bidding. How it has infected more than not just American bodies, but American society and its institutions at many levels.Almost no one in American politics, on the Left or Right, has been hailing the Chinese communist government for its efforts to stem the fourth deadly pathogen to come from its shores and devastate the rest of the world.
