China is seeking to supplant America as the dominant superpower

  We – at least our feckless and incompetent ruling caste – are not serious about maintaining America’s position in the world. The Chinese are building up their military, and I expect that they have a better than even chance of beating us in a fight in the Western Pacific today. They will certainly overtake us in the near-term. They will also overtake us economically, particularly if we both ship them all our intellectual property, outsource all our manufacturing, and cut our own throats by eliminating our ability to generate energy as some sort of bizarre sacrifice to the pagan weather gods worshipped by the swells in Marin County and Manhattan.
