OPINION:
The COVID-19 pandemic has shown, among other things, the true commercial interests of many of our so-called leaders. These politicians have committed a wholesale selling out of the United States when it comes to China-America supply and distribution chains. Eighty-five percent of the ingredients in this nation’s medicines for both civilian populations and military forces are controlled by China. Eighty percent of rare earth minerals, such as cobalt and lithium (which are used in over 100 high-performance weapons systems dedicated to our national defense) are controlled by China.
Hillary Clinton allowed Russian interests to acquire controlling interests in Uranium One, which controls 20 percent of this nation’s uranium-mining extraction capacity, the compound of which is an integral part of nuclear weapons.
We have only to thank these greedy capitalists and spineless politicians for these terrible industrial, trade and defense policies which now are having a debilitating impact on the national security and vital economic interests of the United States.
And do these people really care about what they have done to America? I seriously doubt it.
