Neither China Nor Russia Is Going To Invade The U.S.
Why Globalism is Ending, but The Globalists Are Winning (So Far)
If you’re not afraid of COVID (as many are)--you’re, instead, likely afraid of the economic fallout from the worldwide government reaction to COVID (like I am). I’m guessing you’re more in the latter camp, if you’re even reading this.
Your friends in the former camp are still watching CNN. Isn’t it astonishing? They’re still tuning in, after being lied to with videos of Chinese walking down the street and then keeling over dead; “two weeks to flatten the curve;” and the whole idea that you’re a good American if you take the “safe and effective” vaccine that doesn’t even qualify as a vaccine, was tested for only 4 months when they destroyed the control group; and is entirely unsafe according to 1.5M VAERS injury reports and 29k deaths and also ineffective at preventing exactly nothing.
But you’ve probably figured out: not everything you read in the alt-media, all the fear-porn headlines and interviews and conjectures, is true, either!
(Just like it wasn’t true that if you just got this injection–no, these two injections, wait let’s make it three, no, four–you wouldn’t get COVID or transmit it). I’d like to share with you some evaluation of China-U.S. relations and how they will affect us all, based on my research into three major geopolitical Chinese experts: Peter Zeihan, former Aussie Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, and Michael Pettit.

Alt Media Is Rewarded for Selling You Foreign Bogeyman Stories Further Dividing the Conspiracy Theorists And the Normies
I don’t think a day goes by that someone doesn’t send me content from Mike Adams (Health Ranger).
Now many other alt-media platforms besides Mike’s are grabbing views and subscribes, buzzing about a well produced, calm video of a young American woman telling New Yorkers how to deal with a nuclear weapon (the implication is that they’re sent from Russia). (But, you’re told at the beginning of the production, don’t worry about how or why a nuke hits NYC.)
Now let me qualify what I’m going to say, about how Mike Adams (Natural News, Health Ranger, and The Situation Report) has no idea what he’s talking about when it comes to China–my disclaimer is that I actually think he’s a well intentioned guy who would like to help people.
Even if he seems to know little about China or geopolitics, and goes for the “open and click” at almost any cost. Even if I quit following him like 15 years ago when, after years of fear porn that the U.S. was going to be destroyed, he ran to Ecuador. (He quietly came back, years later, and re-settled in Texas.)
It’s just too tempting, for some influencers, to write headlines shrieking about a foreign bogeyman, because they get 10x to 100x as many views as normal.
So, China is not going to invade the U.S. Just like the Nicaraguan Sandinistas represented no real threat; Iraq had no Weapons of Mass Destruction (which Bush and Condoleezza Rice pumped nonstop fear porn out about); ISIS and Osama Bin Laden didn’t really threaten to take America down; media screamed that Japan was going to take us over decades ago – see the pattern here? – and just now somebody produced a slick piece telling Americans what to do when Russia nukes us.
Russia isn’t going to nuke us, from 6,000 miles away, while already at war with the country on their border, and 12 other countries bordering them pointing NATO weapons at them. That would be like getting pregnant when you have quadruplet 6-month olds breastfeeding.
We are definitely at war with both China and Russia, but they are economic wars; the kinetic war is limited to just Russia/Ukraine, though perhaps the Bidenistas would like to keep pushing the envelope until young people are shipped over there. (I doubt it.) I will share what I’ve learned in 30 years of studying China, and more recently, studying the work of three geopolitical experts on China.
Perhaps we should focus on the things that represent a real and present threat, like the vote to roll out another COVID “vaccine” in the Fall for variants that have already come and gone. Or, our dependence on Big Tech, and captured agencies, and captured media that subjugate us to an agenda – rather than fake foreign bogeymen invented to distract us while the “real” bad guys gut us from the inside, like termites?
Mike Adams has been saying ludicrous things like that Chinese warships are lurking right off the American/Canadian border, for literally 2 ½ years now.
It’s bizarre to me how not one thing he said ended up being true, leading up to the 2020 election, but his followers seem not to have noticed. He’s not the only one, either. Lots of alt-media talk show hosts spend hours giving attention to this ridiculous threat that Russia will nuke New York City.
May I share some of why it’s patently obvious China isn’t going to invade the U.S.? So you can take that off your list of “stuff to worry about?”
China Has Its Hands Full; So Does Russia
First, while it may not seem like it, with the Bidenistas trying to wreck American energy and food independence, and blocking capital from flowing to oil/gas and other natural resources –
– technically, we have everything we need here in the USA, including fuel and food. Capacity, I mean. (Will we actually bring the oil out of the ground, and will we plant and harvest the food on our arable land? Let’s set that aside for now. But we are fully capable of being independent, as we were before WWII.)
China has bigger problems than we do. Much, much bigger. I believe the reason you saw the CCP doing insane things like sanitizing airport runways, and just recently–because, “Omicron”--locking down tens of millions of people for months, is that they just want a lot of their own people gone.
Because they know that Trump’s and even Biden’s America, post-COVID, in the wake of the big win by the global elites who attempt to run entire governments and 4th branches of government (the media) will be forced into more self-reliance and far, far less consumption of Chinese goods.
China is not run by a team of brilliant, crafty strategists. It’s a Cult of Personality, Xi Jinping, the likes of which China hasn’t seen since the reign of Mao Zedong, and who is going into a third term of “re-election,” heavy emphasis on the quotation marks.
Xi has massive blindspots and wants to micro-manage everything about the economy; anybody near him who disagrees kind of disappears; and it’s going very, very badly over there.
Many people, like the author and geopolitical expert Peter Zeihan, who recently wrote The End of The World is Just The Beginning, say that China’s days are numbered, actually. I can find many reasons to support the idea that the decisions China has made during my lifetime, are now biting them in the ass.
And that they’re in no position to be invading anybody, certainly not the USA, over 7,000 miles away.
Such as the fact that they limited family size to one child for 39 years, nearly two generations, causing literally millions of people to kill their baby girls, who are liabilities in Chinese culture, in favor of baby boys, who are considered assets and have a responsibility to help financially support the family of origin, where the girl grows up to follow her husband’s family.
So that now, the young adults of China are primarily angry, hungry, involuntarily celibate men. Who will never have sex or get married, and more importantly as we discuss economies and geopolitics, they’ll never have babies.
Then there’s the fact that the younger generation, as China’s leadership realized it was going to make itself extinct, with lots of older dependents but too few coming up in the young work force, raised the allowable birth rate to two children per family in 2016.
This year, China grudgingly admitted their 2020 census overestimated their population by some 100M people, and raised the allowable birth rate, again, to three children, just two months ago. Many women had destroyed their fertility and their health, through abortions and botched sterilizations, enforced by the “family planning officials.”
The shifts in policy are too little, too late. To continue the last decade of China’s rise to power, in this new global economy.
Then there’s the fact that China has depended on the U.S. for military support, for decades. Yes, it has lots of ships, but they are small ships, and they cannot sail 1,000 miles, let alone well over 7,000 miles to U.S. shores. They are also not outfitted for combat, nor for defense.
Another geopolitical analyst, Michael Pettit, co-author of Trade Wars are Class Wars, agrees with Ziehan that China faces massive internal problems. He has studied the 50 proposals presented by economists in China, to solve the problems they’re facing, and all of them involve bailouts much like the Western world has become accustomed to.
But almost all of them are bailouts that take from the workers, and benefit the means of production, which of course are mostly state-owned, or owned by the 800 wealthy oligarchical families who comprise the Chinese totalitarian regime.
The growth model that worked for China, for 10 years, isn’t working anymore. They’ve got a desperate lack of clean-water access for many of its citizens, and I’ll say the thing the China analysts won’t:
I think they are trying to eliminate a lot of their older citizens especially in Shanghai and encourage the birth rate of younger citizens for the first time in two generations. To re-balance. Because the aging population will need young workers to keep the economy afloat, later.
China’s Manipulation of Birth Rate Via Abortions and One-Child Family Limits
After China’s baby boom in the 50’s, they choked the birth rate back massively, which caused at least 40 million fewer Chinese women than men in the country now. (Again, you can equate that to 40 million men who will never have a sexual partner or life partner, 40 million men who will never be fathers.)
Now China realizes their mistake and are “allowing” three children rather than one; plus they are restricting abortion and even access to birth control, for the first time in decades.
China doesn’t generally kill or imprison you if you have more than one child, like they do if you “pick quarrels and provoke trouble” (an actual criminal offense one well known journalist/activist, Zhang Zhan was sentenced to, for telling the truth about the Wuhan outbreak).
(We get very little information directly from China due to their hard firewalls around their internet, and the awareness of their population that you could go to prison for speaking out in American media, for instance. But we know about Zhang Zhan.)
They don’t necessarily take your children, or put you in prison; they just make your life miserable in other ways and tax the hell out of you, if you have too many children.
Abortions aren’t always safe, since most women live in desperate poverty, so they have a choice of a sketchy abortion or sterilization, with all the attendant risks, or another baby, with all the financial and social consequences. Or infanticide. When wells are dug up, dozens of infant skeletons have been found.
The Chinese don’t debate the morality of abortion, like Americans can afford to, who aren’t sent to prison for speaking against the government. (Well, until Jan. 6, 2021.)
But the government encourages and facilitates abortions and birth control when it wants to shrink the young, dependent generation; they can make it more or less difficult to get an abortion. In the past few years, China has heavily restricted abortions suddenly, as it realized it needs more workforce in 20 years, to support the seniors.
Essentially, family planning is managed at the state level, to increase and decrease the population as those shifts serve the needs of the state.
Basically, China’s economy is in a worse collapse than ours is, and it’s run by an even worse leader (Xi Jingping to be “elected” into a third term soon) than the one the U.S. “elected” in 2020.
There is a growing, ferociously angry unrest in China wherein, even though protesting the CCP is illegal, people are descending in hordes with signs and fury, to protest local and state governments (which is legal).
They’re descending en masse on public places like banks, where people are being locked out of their own life savings. (For protesting. For breaking a COVID rule. For “picking quarrels and provoking trouble,” after which their digital pass “turns red,” locking them out of society.)
When people protest in China, they do it knowing they’re risking their lives.
China isn’t that scared of you, or of America collectively, so much as it’s scared of its own citizens. The big threat to the CCP is 1.3 BILLION Chinese people. Yes, that’s 40 times more of them, than there are of us.
But they’ve got their hands full, over there. Taking their eye off the ball of managing their own massive citizen unrest as the economy tanks there even worse than here–would be a narcissistic, suicidal decision.
The CCP’s fear of its own citizens coalescing against them is, I must assume, why they were willing to drive them to the point of madness, locking Shanghai down for two months this year, in the name of COVID (“e.g. “for your safety and protection”).
And the travails of the residents of Shanghai aren’t over. At the time of this writing, all Shanghai residents had to get two compulsory COVID tests in three days. There were 400 positive tests among the 28M residents, tests delivered in the hot summer sun by workers in hazmat suits–and it is unclear as I write this whether the government will use that compulsory testing data to justify more torture of Shanghai.
How Has Xi Jingping Changed China In the Last 10 Years?
Xi is heading into his third term, and what differentiates him from the 3 leaders before him, from 1978 to 2012, is that he feels those leaders allowed too much free-market system in the country. Xi is a Chinese statist, and hopes toward the end of this decade, to take Taiwan without a shot fired, like China took Hong Kong from British rule, in 1997.
Xi is a hardcore Marxist and deeply admires Stalin and Lenin. (Some of the biggest mass murderers in history, along with Mao, who is the only Chinese leader in recent times to write as prolifically about his worldview, as Xi has done.) Xi wants to distribute wealth away from the entrepreneurial class, in China, to the workers. Obviously this is a Marxist principle. Mao actually instructed tenants to kill landlords and occupy their property, which they did, making him a hero to the people, who still flock to Tiananmen Square to worship him as the great leader who (Americans will find this ironic) gave them freedom. In fact, Mao is probably the most prolific serial killer in all of human history.
Xi’s Marxism will present an ongoing challenge to Americans who are in the business of importing goods from China. Xi sees the world’s dependence on China’s production capacity and exports, as his “ace in the hole” to get what he wants, from the other countries like ours who’ve become very interconnected with Chinese commerce. Xi’s public-facing comments to the external world are always all about how we must collaborate together. Internally, we should never forget that China will trade with the U.S. only to the extent that it furthers China’s interests, and Xi has a worldview that considers the 40 years between Mao’s reign, and Xi’s reign, to be “soft” on entrepreneurialism, and soft on countries they trade with.
One should never forget that Chinese children are indoctrinated from very early childhood, to scream at images of Uncle Sam, that the USA is their enemy. We should also see the seriousness of the economic war with China. I simply do not believe that INVASION is whatsoever in their plans, toward the USA. They are very interested in invading Taiwan, one of 12 countries on their border, and they’d do that, long, long before any kind of interventionism physically on the North American landmass.
And they have massive disparity problems in the size of their various generations, as manipulated by the state, which we will explore more.
What’s The Difference Between Globalism and Globalists?
I realize that people in the U.S. are concerned about globalism grinding to a halt. But most Americans seem to have no idea whatsoever that our heavy dependence on China is coming to an end, and that this will radically change quality of life for all of us.
Think of how mechanized our life is, from your garage door to your TV to your laptop. Now think about all the replacement parts we buy, on the regular, for all the mechanized items in our lives. Next, consider that 90%+ of it is made in China.
It appears to me that the CCP knows that exporting lots of parts and products and fabricated materials to the USA is not going to continue, so it needs fewer citizens, especially the Chinese Boomers.
But last week I got a DM asking,
“If you say globalism is coming to an end, how can it also be that you also think the globalists are winning?”
That’s two different things. Yes, the globalists are winning, because they (think Gates, Bloomberg, Soros, Clinton, Obama, Rockefeller, Rothschild, et al) got the world to go full-bore hypochondriac for two years, and destroy our long-term best interests over the sales pitch that our short-term best interests were in jeopardy. And well served by a lockdown of everything except big public companies (which appear to be in a merger with what we’ve always called “governments”).
(But the FCC and Telecom executives just play musical chairs; Pharma and FDA and CDC executives just play musical chairs; Banking and US Treasury and the Fed just play musical chairs–”regulatory agencies” have been entirely captured, if you haven’t yet noticed.)
The globalists have not been sent to prison or even indicted, for their crimes against humanity. As pushback in the US and the entire Western world grew, and COVID became decidedly non-lethal (even with Remdesivir + vent being the only allowable treatment by the Fauci regime, though many hospitals and my Florida governor are pushing back somewhat), they’ve taken their feet off the gas pedal, on the “COVID crisis.”
I think it’s probably even a slight majority, in America, who sees some part of the “elephant” in the shadows, the big play, wherein they conned billions of people in the world into injecting themselves with a poison that causes at least 1,291 different diseases according to the Pfizer 4-month clinical trial, and prevents exactly nothing.
That’s why I think they’re winning. Just because I think they’ve been winning, while Americans act like we’ve been paralyzed by a stun gun (still no indictments for Fauci, Gates and the rest of the cabal)–that doesn’t mean I think they win in the end.
That’s why I do what I do–in the hopes that enough of us wake up, and mobilize, that we don’t continue to lay down for the greatest crime ever committed. We aren’t served well, by focusing on the wrong enemy.
By “globalism,” I’m referring to the post-WWII American interventionism, in which we invested heavily in infrastructure and capacity (food, energy, mining, and other industry) abroad.
We have increasingly outsourced our production of commodities, heavy metals, manufacturing, and energy–because we wanted the products but not the pollution and the back-breaking labor.
The Black Sea is now a war zone, so getting stuff from Russia OR the Ukraine is highly problematic. (The same basic argument applies, if you’ve bought into the nonsense out of NYC that our government has supplied Russians nukes, to use against us–that Putin has no ability whatsoever to take over the USA, and has no reason to infuriate all over North America trying to send a nuke. He has his hands more than full in his battles close to home. That’s like picking a fight with a giant grizzly bear while you’re single-handedly battling 12 baby bears.)
The ports between here and China are a mess, even if tensions weren’t running high between our two countries.
Biden begging Saudi Arabia for oil, only to find they won’t talk to him, isn’t a good sign either, for American relationships with the Middle East. Our puppet-leader is a worldwide laughingstock. It’s probably a stunt, that MSM told us last week Biden flew Air Force One over to Saudi Arabia, to beg for oil. (Later, I’m guessing, he’ll blame the Saudis for our energy crisis.)
So, the globalists want globalism to end. They don’t want us flying wherever we want, at any cost. They want to radically decrease the number of people in the world, but also our consumption of resources such as oil and gas. (Which underpin absolutely everything about modern life–ironically, including electric vehicles.)
That may be confusing, but the “globalists” (AKA “elites”) are called that because they control governments and puppet leaders and media and pharma and corporate entities around the globe. (Evidence you may not be aware of, just one of many data points your mainstream media doesn’t share with you: almost every Latin American country has fallen to hardcore Communist leaders being “elected” the last few years.)
They’re called globalists because instead of taking down one government at a time into collectivism, they’re taking the entire world down simultaneously, using “COVID” as a trojan horse, and then “climate change” as another.
So, Americans are going to have to take cues from our grandparents. Mine came through the Depression. They did not squander money or resources. Even when they became rather successful.
My Romney grandparents became rather successful, running a produce dealership all over the Southwest. My Openshaw grandparents got fairly wealthy buying California real estate that hyperinflated. Both sets of grandparents remained frugal, to the end.
(P.S. Let me preempt some assumptions, by saying that I’ve inherited nothing from anybody except $10,000 when I was in my 30’s; I also received $0 in alimony–I’m just telling you my background, because your grandparents likely came back from WWII into a massive recession, and bootstrapped their way into a very comfortable lifestyle, as well.)
Hyperconsumption Is Ending; China Isn’t Invading
Our massive hyperconsumption since about 1985 is grinding to a halt after nearly 40 years of the greatest prosperity the world has ever known. We squandered it, we despoiled the Earth and the water, and it was never sustainable, it was always going to come to an end.
It’s coming to an end, on my watch and yours. It falls to us, to be part of the change, and go back to relying on ourselves, and our own country. The change ahead of us is no worse nor daunting than what our grandparents faced, coming back from WWII, a war both of my grandfathers fought in, while their wives at home tended to several young children.
This may not be an accident. Perhaps God called you for a time such as this? We can do this. It’s going to require some sea changes in the way we think, the way we run our lives, the way we prepare for the future (as in, we need to actively plan for the future), and the way we stop looking to governments and celebrities and social media, and look back to God.
And look back, for inspiration, to the time when we were scrappier, when we were bootstrappers like grandparents were, who have graduated to heaven, but whom many of us knew and loved and can be inspired by them, to this day.
China isn’t coming to invade us. Do you honestly believe they’d invade us, at their weakest point in a decade or more, when they haven’t even invaded Taiwan? They haven’t invaded Taiwan because Chinese leadership knows they aren’t strong enough for that, yet. (So, why would they invade the world’s superpower, even as declining as we are led by the Bidenistas, when they have no way to maintain and enforce taking us over, even if they had that ability?)
As of the time I’m writing this, you can go buy a Chinese-made toaster at Target: so if you need one, go get it. We haven’t hit the back end, yet, of the supply chains grinding to a halt. And the toaster will last you a while.
But I’m telling you I’ve been manufacturing saunas in the Wuhan for years, and Chinese manufacturing shipped to the U.S. IS grinding to a massive slowdown that isn’t likely to recover, maybe ever. We’ll ride that gravy train to the end, but you have this moment in time to take a look forward, and prepare.
We have been our own worst enemy. We elected people like George Bush and Bill Clinton and Barack Obama. I won’t even make the claim that we elected Joe Biden, because I think we allowed ourselves to become so degenerate and checked out, collectively, that the election process itself was even stolen, in 2020.
All wars are banker wars, as they say. And these are just a sampling of foreign bogeymen and distractions the globalists (many of them U.S. presidents) sent us, when they didn’t want us focusing on their own misdeeds that harm us:
1. Nicaraguan Sandinistas (Reagan)
2. Iraq / Saddam Hussein / WMD’s (Bush)
3. Osama Bin Laden / ISIS (Bush Jr, Clinton)
4. Japan taking us over (the late 30’s, and the 80’s
5. China (Trump)
6. Putin / Russia (Biden)
They’re currently leaking the story that New York City is under threat of nuclear war, because they know that influencers who live and die by their views and subscribes and likes, will run with those stories, for the dopamine hits and money they make:
Not just creating distractions and more paralysis, fear and willingness to submit to government mandates, on the part of the people–but also further alienating the “conspiracy theorists” from the normies. They’ve got the normies terrified of viruses and inflation, and the CT’s terrified of every foreign bogeyman.
But now, the Chinese will be looking to solve their own problems. They’re ugly; you know they’re ugly when after 40 years of looking the other way while the Chinese murdered their own babies, especially girls–they’re now basically begging Chinese Millennials to have more babies.
And Americans need to solve our own problems. One thing you can take off of your “list of things to worry about” is China or Russia invading.

I certainly see no need on this end to worry about China or Russia invading the US. Sadly the US has already been invaded by the evils of its own citizens to a degree. Long story short. Domestic, US born and raised enemies is as much of a threat to peace and prosperity for the citizens to this nation as any foreign nation or invader. I'm talking about the US citizens who refuse to submit themselves to God. The citizens in the US who have chosen to live under the spirit of delusion, believing that it's somehow their birthright to manipulate and control everyone and everything they know of or have access to.
Don't know if it's true or not. I read in a local newspaper the other day that a US serviceman was killed in Ukraine. I had no idea that US servicemen had even been sent to Ukraine under any circumstances. There is no doubt here that the ongoing war in 2022 between Ukraine and Moscow would have been long over, possibly never coming to fruition if people living outside those regions didn't exist. I suspect that the global population would be in a better state of existence as well.
All your articles are very well written.
