Any navy that can fire nuclear missiles at us is a significant competitor.

Follow the trend.

The size of our Navy is shrinking, while theirs is increasing.

China currently operates twelve Chinese military-run 'space stations' in South America.

'The reactions of the international community, especially the U.S. and the European Union, to the Chinese advance are one of concern, not only because of their position in space but given that the investments are intended to monitor, spy on and collect information from the satellites of the Atlantic Alliance countries.'

The spy station they operate in Argentina became operational in 2017 under a bilateral agreement, and Argentina is probably stuck with it. It depends on what kind of man the new president is.

'China expands its presence in South America with massive Peru port'

When the US gave up control over the Panama Canal in 1999, the Chinese company Hutchison Whampoa signed a 25 year lease with the Panamanian government to run the canal. They recently renewed the lease for another 25 years.

Nature abhors a vacuum. Instead of pulling back and retreating from engagement around the world like some conservatives want, the US must continue to actively engage and develop friendly alliances around the world. That way, China, Russia and whoever else, doesn't gain a foothold to act against US interests.

$217 million tax dollars are going to be spent on ‘suicide prevention netting’ for the Golden Gate Bridge. Are you telling me San Francisco couldn’t find better use for $217 million? Do they think there are no other bridges/buildings/cliffs in the area?

When righties come here in a huff spewing totally random stories about San Francisco, you can always bet that they heard it on some right wing “fair and balanced” network.

Try to leave the bubble!

I’m in no bubble, that I can assure you. I don’t care exactly which municipality/toll/tax/fee the money came from. The money could be better spent. Or not ‘collected’ in the first place. I don’t actually remember where I read it. But I ‘think’ it was that right wing bastion, CNN. The article was very positive about the nets, mainly focusing on a suicide attempt survivor. Nice try, ams, but as usual, FAIL!
