Donald Trump is channeling Ronald Reagan and George F. Kennan in his strategies vs. Russia and China.
I discussed this yesterday on “Making Money with Charles Payne”.
The 20th Century’s greatest President used market power — specifically a huge arms race coupled with collapsing the price of energy, from which Russia derived the cash it needed to compete — to bankrupt the Soviet Union.
Trump learned the lesson. Now China is learning it.
Checkmating China is Trump’s foremost national security goal. China is a bad actor, closing its markets in countless ways, stealing U.S. intellectual property with abandon, and using the very different economics of Communism to drive Western businesses under. But it’s also a real military threat, one that vocally threatens nuclear and biological warfare a little too often. It’s building a real military. It needs money for that, just as the Soviets did.
Trump’s strategy deprives both Russia and China of the hard cash they need to pose a threat to America and its allies, while proactively seeking to declaw their future military ambitions.
It’s a five-minute segment you won’t want to miss!
