| Hi, this is Dr. Pichinik, and today I want to talk about the impending conflict in the South China Sea. | |
| Angela Merkel, one of the great leaders of Western Europe and Chancellor of Germany since 2005, said something very serious and very astute. | |
| She warned the United States and China not to get into a conflict on the South China Sea. | |
| I was concerned about that conflict in 1995 when I wrote the novel Pax Pacifica, and the only person who really understood it at the time was the former DCI, James Lilly, who thought this was a brilliant analysis of what would be an impending war in the China Sea. | |
| The South China Sea is about 1.5 million square miles. | |
| It's bordered by Vietnam on one side, China on the same side. | |
| You have the Philippines. | |
| You have Malaysia. | |
| You have Taiwan. | |
| And about 33 to 35 percent of the world traffic goes through this 1.4 million square miles. | |
| It's an important point of traffic. | |
| It's an important point where there's oil. | |
| And rare minerals underneath on the ocean. | |
| It's believed to be in the billions of tons. | |
| The more important part is the fact that I have warned our country that you cannot go against China in any form right now. | |
| China has grown rapidly. | |
| Xi Jinping comes, as I have explained before, from a background of revolution, chaos, and distortion. | |
| He knows exactly how to manipulate the United States. | |
| He knows exactly what to do with Biden. | |
| The key point here is that Secretary of State Blinken was looking for a potential war and encouraged our vessels to go into the South China Sea and possibly create a conflict with China. | |
| I do warn Secretary of State Blinken, who worked with Susan Rice, and I recall the time When under General Keith Alexander, they ordered the NSA, Susan Rice and Blinken, to monitor the phone calls of American citizens, which at that time was illegal. | |
| So I'm putting Blinken on notice, not only had he committed, in my opinion, treason in the past, he's incompetent, as I've said, and also he's a war hawk who had never served in our administration or in any wars, as did Biden. | |
| Biden created a war in Iraq, We're supporting the war in Afghanistan, has supported the Obama wars in Libya, Somalia, and Sudan. | |
| So I warn this administration to be careful of what you do. | |
| Because if you engage with China, she doesn't play games. | |
| She will defeat many of our boats. | |
| We have an effect A lower number of boats there, but more effective boats. | |
| China has about 200 to 300 small vessels. | |
| They dominate in number, but not in quality, the South China Sea. | |
| We have about 15 to 16 nuclear subs and going up to about 65. | |
| I will not break them down because some of them are ballistic missile subs and intercontinental missiles, but they're very effective. | |
| We have about 11 aircraft carriers and about 200 plus different cruise ships in the South China Sea. | |
| We're very efficient. | |
| Our Navy is very effective. | |
| But more importantly, we do not need to confront China at this point in time. | |
| Number one, China has an economic problem. | |
| Number two, we need to get our economy straight. | |
| We're going into an inflationary spiral. | |
| We're having problems with our growth, effective growth. | |
| And at this point, America does not want to go to war in any way or in the future. | |
| Napoleon Bonaparte once said, let China sleep, but be aware when she awakens. | |
| There's another saying that's important. | |
| The Cold War may have ended, but the Cold War mentality still remains. | |
| I warn you, be careful. |
