America Starts Adopting a War-footing, at Last

This week, the Trump administration took the first, long-overdue step to put America on a war-footing. 

That’s the upshot of a new “National Farm Security Action Plan” explicitly aimed at reducing the very considerable threat posed by the Chinese Communist Party to our food supply, related production operations and farmland across the country. 

The Action Plan’s roll-out highlighted collaboration between the departments of Agriculture, Defense, Homeland Security and Justice. Their efforts will all be needed to defeat such dangerous Chinese threat vectors as: stealing our intellectual property; acquiring land within striking distance of key military installations; smuggling in crop-destroying pathogens; and operating at least one covert biological warfare lab in this country.

A more comprehensive war-footing must now be adopted to protect our people and communities, including by: deporting all Chinese students, soldiers and other potential operatives; rebuilding our military; and not underwriting theirs.
