Yes. Trump wanted out of Afghanistan, but the execution was a Biden Administration execution not a Trump administration execution. So don’t try to attribute the botched withdrawal on the Trump Administration. That would be revisionist history.
You mean to plan a Trump had where he left every single piece of American equipment behind he only evacuated our military and left everyone behind no refugees everybody left behind even all the equipment that was trumps plan and that was the Republicans plan and Biden said no we’re not doing it that way we only rescued 100 Vietnamese when we left Vietnam Biden rescued 100,000 Afghanistan civilians who are going to be murdered and tortured and yet he’s the bad guy
Outsourcing a large percentage of our manufacturing offshore, and thus diminishing our domestic capabilities, regardless of which country receved those contracts, is bad for American self-sufficiency and security. But let's not forget that it was the corporation-friendly Republican policies that allowed that to happen. The U S. has so much to fix, starting with revamping our educational system to produce a skilled workforce who have the opportunity of obtaining productive and satisfying careers. When we have a large number of citizens afraid that they can't compete with immigrants from non-industrialized nations (the "build the wall" crowd), we've failed them. That failure includes promoting an unhealthy diet (hyper-processed foods that are cheap due to lobbied subsidies) and a sedentary lifestyle. Sadly, these folks think China is at fault and rally around the anti-China politicians who actually created the problem. Of course China aspires to be an economic and military powerhouse; as did/does the U.S. We can act like whiny victims (a distraction straight from the GOP playbook while they rake in mega-$$), or we can fix the *_actual_* problems.
Corporations are concerned with one thing only. In each country, Corporations employ Madison Avenue to bluster the consumer with empty national chauvinism (e.g., Buy American!), while they continue to maximize profit at the transnational level, with the broadest possible portfolio. Everyone's money is green, right?
He appears to understands his value as citizen consultant for America. HR McMaster is a robust example of the broad scope of contributions the military provides beyond the battlefield. Leadership, intellectual capital and most of all, ethos of honesty, integrity, fortitude, and deference to love of country and democracy! “Don’t bet against AMERICA”!!! Quoting Investor Warren Buffet
Yvonne Plant. I am happy to see Margaret back. I notice she's wearing less makeup. I actually like this more natural look. I also love the dress, of course.
Why do you continually comment on Margret’s wardrobe? We need to evolve past this constant commentary on a woman’s appearance. It’s shallow. She’s a capable, eloquent and intelligent person. Don’t reduce her to a dress and makeup.
@@skywriting33 I don't reduce her to that. My main draw to the program is her intelligence. I have commented on that many times. When I have done that I usually get a bunch of snide comments from the Tankies, Russian bots and Trumpites.
Wonder if you're aware that it's not illegal to have a bank account, especially when you run a legitimate business. It gets a little bit fishy when you have a bunch of bank accounts that you're laundering bribe money through like Mr. Biden and his family, especially when you don't actually run a legitimate business.
Go to the concentration camps of Xinjiang and talk about lack of morality. Or perhaps the once free people of Hong Kong who are risking their lives fleeing the CCP would educate you as well. Their are not thousands of immigrants lining up to enter China, and that's for good reason.
We can thank big business for this. for 30 years I’ve been saying buy American made. They shipped all our manufacturing overseas and down south. They didn’t want to pay American labor a fair price. they have been raking in the money and at the same time financing the CCP.🤬🤬🤬
He was in Trump's administration when Trump was abrogating American leadership and allowing China to takeover leadership positions in various international organizations and striking infrastructure deals all over Africa and Southeast Asia.
The best interviewer on television... I never miss her.. I think she gets the best from her subjects. CBS news must be proud they made the right decision putting her in Tim Russerts chair.
No, Simon, his idea that the Chinese are saying "We're in charge now, you're finished" is hallucinatory. China is saying "We're trying to get domination of our immediate littoral and to open up our trade routes." That's all. McMaster's problem is that what China is doing is perfectly clear and to maintain a career as a commentator he has to have some sort of invisibles to reveal.
@@TheDavidlloydjones No, China intends to scrap the UN Charter and Geneva Conventions, and replace them with new institutions that serve China's interests. It's all pretty obvious.
Deciding between sovereignty and servitude. I know it can always be worse, but that's not really the point when the US is starting to feel a lot like servitude toward corporations for many people.
Despite the perceptions, it is also very important to note that remaining in low profile is great security measure for not only enemy to under estimate you (country) but also to counter balance higher perception of expectation which may prove wrong and create disappointment. This does also work in deplomacy
We are confronted with economic and diplomatic competition, not military. It seams like we can't compete economically and diplomatically. Therefore we USA are trying to militarize the competition.. We currently spend $,70 for every ,$1 on military, unsustainable😮😮 we need systemic adjustment/change
Japan, Philippines, Malaysia and Vietnam are never on the fence. Generals should not take sides with administrations. Instead, constantly explain to Americans why protecting those nations is protecting our own interests. And show any progress. We pay taxes and we want our dollars go to defending our security and interest. Definitely not politics!
Once again, masters like Costas and Brennan expose realities and potential realities where none was an inkling. They peer into the corners of “what ifs” for us all. And that is a great civil service.
He can run as president in the post Trump GOP world. Nobody is more prepared to deal with the inevitable future threat of China than General H.R. McMaster. He has Dwight Eisenhower vibes.
The West and Japan could not resist the lure of cheap labour in China. So they shifted most of their manufacturing to China. Then S. Korea signed up. That's how the Chinese Juggernaut was created. Now it has become too big and reversing the process is out of the question. In fact manufacturers are moving to China in droves even today.
I have a question for the General. Sir in the beginning you mentioned that we should “cooperate & engage” to show the a Chinese that it’s in their interest to engage in the present world order. However later, you mentioned one of our faulty assumptions has been that we could change Chinese behavior through engaging with them. Can I have some help reconciling how these two different engagements (of the past & future) might be different Sir.
You got the contradiction! Either the assumption is wrong, or the strategy is wrong. Both can’t be right . McMaster isn’t the smart guy everybody sees or he is.
Appreciate his perspective. My sense is many Americans may not have a clue about how to deal with China as our national paradigms and standards of living have been very different from theirs. Having lived in freedom, how could we know where they're coming from, so to speak, and the most prudent course of action to deal with them? Gen. McMaster, I bought a couple of your books and haven't read them yet, but unfortunately I have to contend with this proverbial troll that lives in my "basement" that rips me off all the time. The theft has been disproportunately excessive. I routinely find myself looking for something I need that I had lying around 2 weeks ago and now it's gone. Everything from clothing, warm winter stuff that I need, kitchen tools, gardening tools, receipts, I've had small bills lifted out of my wallet, food, the list is endless. Am I the neighborhood ATM? I truly resent it b/c I am only being used by a taker who trys to present herself as God's gift to Robinhood when she's just a cheap thief. I've had sentimental items disappear that were of little monetary value but still kind of "cool", so the logic of shifting the wealth doesn't apply. It's just crap.The hypocracy of this experience is beyond the pale and anything but conducive to engendering trust. CIA, or anyone else, be damned if you live in an area like this with a lot of theft. Unfortunately, your books have gone missing along with everything else. In a manner of speaking, tell the trolls to call off their dogs and bring back my stuff, including your books, then maybe we can get somewhere.
It has taken 40 years to send our skills Jobs and industry to China..how long to bring them back? more Mines wells factories foundries a steel industry etc.. the USA makes 1% of ships China over 50%
American generals are always so sure of themselves but seem to use such a limited pallet of information. I wonder if he is aware of the problems in the Chinese economy? There isn't enough consideration of the bigger picture. He was perfect for Trump.
It is time that corporations stop relying on Chinese Labor. Bring it home...if they cut us off, we will literally be crippled, except for guns, we have guns. hahahaha
The Chinese are overplaying their hand. They have made leaps and bounds of advances in different realms, including their military, but the US and the Western Alliance totally outclasses China in most areas. Hold the line.
McMaster should consider the idea of "speak softly but carry a big stick". It is reasonable to be very respectful and compliment the Chinese nation (not particularly the CCP) and consider at the same time our US history of many aggressive wars which were never warranted or successful.
I’d like to know why the brothers Lieutenant General Flynn one still on active duty one was found guilty and pardon why are they still allowed to call themselves lieutenant general is the one on active duty why has he not been court-martialed why is he not been charged with crimes against government he is a very general that withheld the National Guard for 5 1/2 hours not letting them go to protect the capital Lieutenant General Flynn on active duty needs to be Arrested Court, Marshall and thrown in Leavenworth for the rest of his God nasty life and his brother who’s already been pardoned by trump needs to be arrested by the criminal court of the army and court Marshall just cause he’s retired doesn’t mean he gets to walk away
"What provokes China is the perception of weakness." Yup. We need lines of communication, but we also can't appear weak. Speak softly but carry a big stick
Lt General McMaster makes some good points in this interview about China and their goals. But to claim that not talking to China makes us look weak is dangerous. We have to cooperate on some of the most pressing issues in the world today. The Chinese economy is weakening and they also have a major demographic issues going forward. Talking is not bad but blind toughness is.
Smarter thinking, although implementing will take time, and could be challenging., but make no mistake, the China plan has been disastrous economically and strategically.
"Germany gave an authoritarian government over their energy, and thus their economy.) What have we done by relying on fossil fuels? Who controls the world price of oil and gas? Aren't OPEC and Russia authoritarian regimes? AS long as we rely of a scarce commodity, we will be at the mercy of those who control that commodity. The sun and wind are available to everyone, and no one can control them. Hence, they offer energy independence, not only for the US, but for all countries.
Trump could have,if he had cared to,built a decent administration with people like McMasters and Kelly,that would have given Trump the second presidential term that Trump so desires- but does not deserve!
The CCP was founded on the idea of constant struggle. That means within the party and with other countries (the united front department). One can assume that, like Russia, the CCP only respects strength. We have given the CCP boat loads of leniency and assistance and it hasn't improved their behavior. We need to stand up to their aggressiveness, stand up for all the nations in Asia that the CCP has and is bullying. Xi is gradually strangling his own people and economy. The world is decoupling from China. But Xi can't see this.
China will drive most of the high end product making businesses back to the U.S. probably! And I have ideas to keep them in the U.S. if anyone would listen.
McMaster : please help to overthrow CCP inhumane nefarious dictatorship in China and please help to bring all monster of Xi and Putin to global justice.
