J.r. Cottingham about an hour ago · .. President Bill Clinton allowed one of his major campaign contributors, Oracle, to give China United States satellite booster technology. China had previously had to depend on the United States to perform that function for them. Former U. S. Presidents have ceded manufacturing dominance to China, depleting manufacturing in the United States. Three years ago the Pentagon informed us it was de-emphasizing Europe in favor of the Asia-Pacific region, according to Navy Admiral Samuel J. Locklear, III, who has informed us this week “that U. S. dominance has weakened in the shadow of a more aggressive China. Now, President Barack Obama is ceding U. S. military dominance to China, according to Admiral Locklear. Obviously, China’s first concern is for their security… not the security of the United States of America. All this has been occurring while President Obama has been weakening our country, its financial system, and its military defense system, while using American taxpayers’ money and American military treasure to support the Muslim Brotherhood and Al-Qaeda terrorist “rebels” in prosecution of a War of Islamic Expansion in the Middle East. WHAT’S WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE…??? “Ominous warning: Admiral concedes U.S. losing dominance to China --- Commander of Obama’s Asia pivot eyes military posturing by China” “The Obama administration’s ballyhooed military “pivot” to Asia is running into some frank talk from the top U.S. commander in the Pacific. Three years after the Pentagon said it was de-emphasizing Europe in favor of the Asia-Pacific region, NavyAdm. Samuel J.

Locklear said it is obvious that Chinese military power is growing, he suggested that it is unclear whether China will seek to be a hard adversary to the U.S. in the long term, so Washington should be working overtime on steering Beijing toward a cooperative security posture. “China is going to rise, we all know that,” Adm. Locklear said, as reported by Defense News, which included several quotes from his speech at the annual Surface Navy Association meeting. “[But] how are they behaving? That is really the question,” the admiral said, adding that the Pacific Command’s goal is for China “to be a net provider of security, not a net user of security.” His remarks offered insight into the introspection at the Pentagon’s highest levels about how the U.S. should tailor its military presence in the region, where Beijing and Moscow — regional powerhouses and former Cold War adversaries to Washington — are keen to challenge U.S. dominance. “The problem with this formulation is, for whom does Adm. Locklear think China will be providing security?” said Dean Cheng, an analyst at the Heritage Foundation. “The implicit answer is ‘to everyone,’ because the assumption is that we can somehow mold China into being ourselves — that China will see its interests as somehow congruent and coincident with those of the United States, and therefore China will assume the mantle of regional provider of public goods…” Read more: washingtontimes/news/2014/jan/16/us-military-dominance-pacific-decline-says-top-adm/
