Why I believe that is all that our enemies have stolen from us. They have so much of our military equipment know how today it is going to be very dangerous for us all.
China has an unbelievable amount of submarines, including underwater base entrances so we don’t know when they come or go, and can’t keep count on them,
At the same time we have our guard down in so many ways. We don’t even have enough military equipment of our own. Not even enough ammo.
Don’t think our enemies may never attack us! The Chinese have several empty cities, big enough for millions of people. If they ever decided to attack us, yes, we could hurt them bad, but they have many nuclear shelters for their population, we have almost none.
They have more people to spare, 3 times more than we do. They could take us out and they would still have a large population they could move from the fallout shelters to the empty cities.
Their leaders don’t care about loss of life except their own, and they might decide it would be a win to do all that. They wouldn’t even have to bomb us to nearly destroy us. ONE nuke exploded in outer space over the center of the country would do it as it would send out an EMP that would take out our entire power grid, resulting in the death of 90% of our population and the remainder in dire poverty and living in the stone ages.
IF we really want to keep our secrets, we need to do a few things. One is disconnect some of our computers with the most important information on them from the internet, so they won’t be hacked. Our enemies at times only use hand written information they want guarded. We also need to stop politicians from accepting “donations” from foreigners, or their American representatives.
If we want to protect our power grid, we need to spend $50 billion dollars. That’s it, that’s the cost of preventing a possible loss of 90% of our population. Cheap for the normal spending of our military.
No body seems to want to do any of it.
PS: Another thingy: A lot of the “classified” information is not really to keep it from our enemies, it is to keep it from the citizens. It mostly gets stolen by our enemies. The politicians just don’t want us to know what they are doing. Much of it should never be classified. We aren’t children, we can handle knowing the dirty deeds our politicians are doing, and we will be better informed on election day.
