Don’t Feel Too Safe, It Could Happen

What has outsourcing done for America? It has weakened an economy, weakened our security, and caused global hunger and this is just the beginning, consider the military buildup of China and Russia and you can see that outsourcing is potentially devastating to the United States. Who will defend us in a conflict with Russia or China? England, Europe, Australia, India? If we do not keep manufacturing and economic prosperity in the United States then we will be vulnerable to other world powers and Russia feels this potential weakness and flexed its muscles to show us. Russia recently paraded in Moscow nuclear missiles, tanks and other heavy weaponry through Moscow’s Red Square. The show of force parade was performed during the Victory Day parade Friday and it is the first parade of this magnitude since the collapse of the former Soviet Union. Russia has increased its defense spending tenfold in recent years with what appears to be a desire to breathe new life into the military forces that weakened in the immediate post-Soviet period.

Have we forgotten how Russia has buzzed US War ships and military bases the past two years? Sure you feel safe today but trust me, as the world super-heats based on the idiotic notion of a global economy, major military action builds up in foreign countries with the idea that invading the United States will be a reality. Remember, if the United States is weakened either militarily or economically, then the other so-called global powers become freer to enact their will. You can laugh off the reality of you like but remember the Cuban missile crisis was not that long ago and could happen again. Do not allow the continuation of America’s prosperity and ability to be outsourced, demand legislation that keeps American jobs in America.

Our next elected President needs to do more to make sure the American economy is competitive domestically, the next President also needs to amke sure we are safe domestically as well.
