China shows missiles, Trump shows muscle: Xi's strategy can't match US

And did you catch the hot mic moment with Xi and Putin, both 72, groaning like the "Grumpy Old Men" they are about how "70 is just a child" and wondering if organ transplants can enable immortality? Kim, just 41, stifled a grin. Who knows who will have the last laugh in that trio. They are not my picks for immortality. 

The China-Russia military alliance is the single biggest danger the U.S. military has ever faced. 

However, Xi's plan for world domination is showing some fault lines. Xi has scrambled for 13 years to build up China's military. His strategy is based on loading up with missiles, missiles and more missiles. Yet looking at what rolled down the streets in Beijing, the fact remains that China can't outpace U.S. military technology, despite decades of espionage, copycat designs and heavy military spending. 

The U.S. has some far superior systems. I'm talking about the new B-21 stealth bombers and F-47 sixth-gen fighters, for example. China has no true equivalents. 

The U.S. also has new ways to deal with China's missiles. The U.S. Space Force's new Hypersonic and Ballistic Track and Surveillance System will use a constellation of satellites in low earth orbit, cued to use a medium field-of-view, to track China's hypersonic missiles as they maneuver. Innovations like this nix China's gains. 

Trump's nonchalance in dealing with this terrible trio is possible because the administration is taking action every day to shore up America's power and oppose the China-Russia alliance. 

In the Oval Office Tuesday, Trump flexed American power with two very different announcements.

Tren de Agua is a designated terrorist organization, so in tactical terms, this is no different from striking ISIS or Houthi terrorists in the Middle East.  Believe me, the U.S. Navy has plenty more anti-ship missiles and it's high time to clean up the Western Hemisphere. Trump's predecessor James Monroe, famous for the Monroe Doctrine, would be proud.

Those other leaders in the parade photo had better not be looking to do more business with the U.S. anytime soon. The larger economic reality is that the U.S. is winning the AI race and, with concerted effort, can shut the door on China's attempts to dominate AI.
