I'm a subscriber and share your content regularly. I notice one thing though, while the articles should be generating more reach and engagement, they aren't. Part of the issue I am certain that would help is better imagery. Some of your post pictures leaves most people scratching their heads, myself included, and are not anyway related to the content. I get the gymnast balancing and the title but that image flies right over most folks heads my friend. If you want to reach a wider audience, maybe you should try using better imagery, something that pops out and makes readers interested. Most people today don't bother to read much less listen, but pictures can speak 1,000 words.

Excellent article, and supports what I’ve been saying for over 20 years. We ignore the consequences at our own peril. This influence can bring the end of the U.S., much more effectively and efficiently than any ol’ shooting war.

And it would only take a few months.

Trump’s trade “policies” included tariffs, one of the worst mistakes in the U.S. history. Tariffs hurt everyone, and send other countries to other countries for trade, and not to the U.S. Policy-making should include only the threat of tariffs, not actual implementation. Once implemented, the horse is out of the barn, and there’s nothing left to bargain with.

And there is the theory, as yet unproven, that all or most of Chinese electronic equipment sold to the U.S. can be shut down with the click of a button. In reality, likely not, but a scary thought, and not beyond the Cheating Chinese.

And beware of the international or just national internet shutdown. That will do it, too. And it will happen, unless we do more to protect ourselves. But we aren’t. This shutdown will make Pearl Harbor, WW 2, Korea, Iraq, Afghanistan, & 9-11 combined look like a picnic. People will wind up killing each other for a glass of water. It can happen here.
