Henry Kissinger also said, "It may be dangerous to be America's enemy, but to be America's friend is fatal."

the only semi friend the USA has is maybe Great Britain.... that was 30 years ago.. the most common name in London today is Muhamed so America has no friends.

Everyone says America has no friends. But is this America's fault, or the ppl from the past who was running it?

most countries are self serving, unless they share something in common. Saudi, UAE, Qatar for example are similar because they are all Sunni Muslim. Same for Shia countries. But China, Russia and Iran pretend to be friends but have nothing in common. except for a disdain for the West.

Google Warns Chinese And Russian Hackers Are Targeting US Defense Companies

Authored by Jack Phillips via The Epoch Times,
An analysis released by Google this month showed that the U.S. defense industrial base—a network of public and private entities used to develop or maintain military weapons systems—has sustained cyberattacks from groups and criminal organizations from China, Russia, and North Korea in recent months.

The report, released on Feb. 10 by Google Threat Intelligence, found that the Chinese regime and associated groups continue “to represent by volume the most active threat to entities in the defense industrial base,” which it said can pose “significant risk to the defense and aerospace sector.”
Google’s report added that it “has observed more China-nexus cyber espionage missions directly targeting defense and aerospace industry than from any other state-sponsored actors over the last two years,” as such groups have “used a broad range of tactics in operations.”
“But the hallmark of many operations has been their exploitation of edge devices to gain initial access,” it said, referring to hardware components positioned at the edge of a network.
“We have also observed China-nexus threat groups leverage ORB networks for reconnaissance against defense industrial targets, which complicates detection and attribution.”

Late last year, Canadian and U.S. officials warned that Chinese state-backed hacking groups have targeted U.S. government entities and private companies, gaining long-term access to their systems.
In July 2025, Microsoft also warned it had observed two China-based hacking groups, Linen Typhoon and Violet Typhoon, using vulnerabilities in SharePoint, Microsoft’s collaboration software.
As for Russia, Google said in its report that groups associated with Moscow have focused on defense companies that support technologies used in the Russia–Ukraine war, namely companies linked to drones.
“As next-generation capabilities are being operationalized in this environment, Russia-nexus threat actors and hacktivists are seeking to compromise defense contractors alongside military assets and systems, with a focus on organizations involved with unmanned aircraft systems (UAS),” the tech giant said.
“This includes targeting defense companies directly, using themes mimicking their products and systems in intrusions against military organizations and personnel.”

State-sponsored hackers, meanwhile, have leveraged Google’s own AI tool, Gemini, during cyberattacks, it found.
One Chinese-linked organization known as “UNC2970” has frequently targeted defense companies and impersonated corporate recruiters in hacking campaigns, Google said.
They’ve used Gemini to conduct open-source intelligence to “profile high-value targets to support campaign planning and reconnaissance,” including searches for relevant information on defense and cybersecurity companies, it said.
The threat posed by North Korea has grown since 2019 as officials in the regime have attempted to pose as IT workers to apply for jobs at defense-related organizations, Google said.
Last July, the Department of Justice announced it had disrupted an operation that included searches of 29 locations in more than a dozen states suspected of being connected to laptops used, in part, to obtain remote jobs at more than 100 American companies.
In one instance, North Korea-linked actors stole sensitive data from a California defense company that was involved in AI development, according to Google.
In a separate incident, a Maryland-based individual was sentenced to 15 months in prison for facilitating a North Korean-linked scheme and coordinating with an alleged regime IT worker. The person, Minh Phuong Ngoc Vong, was hired by a Virginia-based company to perform software development for a defense contractor, it added.

Infrastructure and utilities will be first in cyber war before a hot war.

She said that "we've gone too far".
I was like Whaaaaaa? Did someone take her IV out of something? Did not expect that from her but i was happy to see a bit of a change in there. Not sure how genuine it is, but the fact that she said it makes it pretty unique because she has never said something like that in her entire life.

I can 100% guarantee she did not have a change of heart. Flooding the U.S. with illegals was always the plan and intentional goal. When she or any democrat starts sounding more centrist, it's an act. They do this every single time an election is coming up. Once they've won, it's back to the same socialist/communist agenda. Bait and switch.

Do not trust them.... ever.

at the end of the day, we are all sinners in a fallen world in need of a savior.
Probably the only sane non evil place is on Mt Athos.

Amen to that. We all need God.

My. Athos since you mentioned it, was a place that I was considering of going when I was young but my mother needed me and it didn’t work out. Overall this was God’s best plan for me and I’m grateful. He taught me that I can have His Kingdom with me in my heart wherever I go and I will be okay.
My spiritual father was from Mt. Athos who taught me the Bible at the church along other youth groups.
I still keep in touch with him.

Absolutely I totally agree with you here and it did cross my mind but think about this.
This is something that goes so hard against their programming that even saying it, is something out of the question.
I mean think of all the leftist trolls in this board and in real life who can’t answer simple questions which go against their programming. They respond with programmed rage or playing the victim as taught by their mentors.
So saying it, I consider it an achievement.
Also adding to the fact that she’s old now, usually one gains a bit more wisdom as they age.
Again for most it will be programmed until death and yes I do question how genuine she is but the fact that she said it, is something that surprised me.

Usually words are followed by actions after and that’s where I’d like to see the Dems leave the extreme position they’re at and go towards the center with more actionable reforms and legislation.

Like Virginia's new governor Spanberger, who ran on affordability and is now demanding 50+ new taxes? Like Mamdani's election promises of free stuff and is now going after pensions and the middle class? Same pattern yet no one learns from the bait and switch. So sure, it would be nice to see change, but it's clear they don't want to change.

The democrat party represents and celebrates -

- The globalist agenda.
- Aggressive push towards socialism/communism.
- Being anti-Christ, anti-Christian
- Abortion at all stages
- Importing illegal criminals and rioting to keep them in the U.S.
- Illegal aliens rights/well-being over citizens
- Supporting/encouraging violence, rioting, arson, looting, and murder
- Indoctrinating schools with gender ideology, hatred for the U.S., and now pitting them against law enforcement.

It's the party of literal evil and I expect nothing less from the leaders. I don't believe Hillary is sorry. I believe she's sorry the lies don't work anymore and they all got caught out. More people saw the dems for who they really are, and it affected the election.

To note: Republicans are not perfect and have their own problems. At least they are currently doing what they can to stop the leftist destruction (rinos excluded). I can support that, for now.

100% with you. I agree on all those points.
With Mamdami i'd like to add that he didn't promise anything out of the leftist playbook. 'Free stuff' IS from the leftist playbook. Just like unchecked illegal immigration with open borders without VoterID is from the leftist playbook.
I was just surprised to hear Hillary go against the playbook on the immigration point when she said that immigration is disruptive and is recieving criticism from the programmed drones.
Clinton faces backlash from the left after calling mass immigration 'disruptive'
But ultimately without action, her words even if going against Leftist ideology, will remain words.
As Trump put it "these folks (referring to the left) they say whatever to get your vote and then say see ya later".
Trump has kept all his campaign promises and that's unheard of in many years in politics because politicians are like snakes. They say one thing and they do another.

Mamdani promised that the free things would be paid for by the rich taxpayers. What most people missed is the definition of who is "rich". If you have a job and pay taxes then by his definition you are rich. The free things go to people who don't have jobs and do not pay taxes.

So then the second step is many people will say to themselves "why am I killing myself to pay taxes for these people when if I simply become unemployed I'll be living the same standard of living. This will cause many to leave their jobs making it easier to replace people with AI.

UBI is "universal basic income" which will be given to everyone and as AI can do more and more skilled jobs UBI will equal the pay of those who work, encouraging even more to leave the workforce. AI can do things cheaper and faster so at first there is a bonus to using AI, but your consumers will disappear and that in turn will be like the sea eating into cliffs on the seaside. The economy will slowly slide into the ocean and so to solve the problem they will get rid of the useless eaters.

Which of course is the stated goal of the Georgia Guidestones, to reduce the population by over 80%.

Agreed. 'Free stuff' is a leftist motto though. Of course they don't explain or want to explain how this 'free stuff' works but that's not what the voters want to hear. The politicians dangle meat in front of them, and they salivate.
Open borders is another leftist motto. So when Hilary went against this motto in Germany i was very surprised to hear this from her mouth, something that she's never said in her entire life knowing who she is and how insulting and condescending she can be with comments like "deplorables" which cost her an election.

I'm actually expecting to hear more dems pretend to become more centrist as it gets closer to election. I suspect the new talking points will be distributed to the usual suspects, including media.

Record Taiwan Arms Deal In 'Limbo' As White House 'Vacillates' Amid Xi Pressure: Report
picture-5.jpg

by Tyler Durden
Wednesday, Feb 18, 2026 - 09:20 AM
During their February 4 phone call, President Xi Jinping used the opportunity to warn President Donald Trump on China's Taiwan red lines. Xi had described the US approach to Taiwan "the most important issue in China-U.S. relations," declaring that China "will never allow Taiwan to be separated from China."
Trump has repeatedly stressed the need to keep lines of communication open with Beijing, even as he insists on safeguarding American interests and regional security, and as Washington continues arms and political support to Taipei and its full independence aspirations. But Trump is also looking ahead to his much anticipated China visit in April, as we've highlighted before.
Could the April visit to Beijing be in jeopardy, and is the direct pressure from Xi working?
Source: FirstPost/Asia Times
A fresh Wednesday report in The Wall Street Journal suggests the answer is yes - and the report goes so far as to describe that a key record-breaking $11.1 billion arms sale package to Taiwan, first announced in December of last year, is currently in limbo.
"A major U.S. arms-sales package for Taiwan is in limbo following pressure from Chinese leader Xi Jinping and concerns among some in the Trump administration that greenlighting the weapons deal would derail President Trump’s coming visit to Beijing, according to U.S. officials," WSJ writes.
The report lays out:
Trump’s advisers are vacillating on the decision, according to a U.S. official familiar with the arms package, who insisted that, while Xi was adamant, Trump wouldn’t be pushed around by China. Trump wants to preserve a trade truce with Xi, a second U.S. official said, so the timing of an arms-sale decision is being carefully considered behind the scenes, the person said.
In response to a request for comment, a U.S. official said the arms sales are working their way through the administration’s internal process.
The U.S. Congress hasn’t officially been notified of new arms sales, but a congressional aide said it had been expected to include Patriot antimissile interceptors and other weapons.
WSJ concludes that Trump is fundamentally seeking to avoid antagonizing China, in order to no blow up the anticipated visit.
Another key issue on the line, affirmed in the earlier February Xi-Trump call is seen in the following:
China is considering buying more U.S.-farmed soybeans, President Donald Trump said after what he called "very positive" talks with President Xi Jinping on Wednesday, even as Beijing warned Washington about arms sales to Taiwan.
In a goodwill gesture two months before Trump's expected visit to Beijing, Trump said Xi would consider hiking soybean purchases from the United States to 20 million metric tons in the current season, up from 12 million tons previously. Soybean futures rallied.
Trump was asked by reporters about the Taiwan weapons issue Monday, to which the president responded: "I’m talking to him about it. We had a good conversation, and we’ll make a determination pretty soon.
"We have a very good relationship with President Xi," Trump underscored, clearly signaling he wants things to go as smoothly as possible, and keep relations cordial.


I told you so. Politics is a nasty business.
