If there was a potential adversary, completely hypothetical, and they wanted to target us upstream,

what kind of things would they potentially do?

Oh boy.

They might buy a lot of land nearby our bases.

Okay, so do you have time for stories here Flash?

We have a story time?

And ask the simple question of, you know, hey, you work in industrial control

systems defense, what would be the worst day of your life? It would likely be a

factory that would a billion dollar project that would supply all the upper Midwest with their animal feed and supply chain and that's by the way coming from a Chinese company owned by a former member of the People's Congress of China

and right outside at Grand Force Air Force Base.

Like what do we need, can we do it, how do we do it,

how do I know it worked, and what do I do if it doesn't?

How have we overdosed on that? what impact do you what impact do you think that it has on

potential future conflicts or unintended consequences because the way we fought in Afghanistan is not the same way we can fight against an actual nation state.

Because the effect that we need may end up being someone from the State Department calls that country and says,

hey, we do more trade with you.

Stop giving them all this rubber.

And you don't even have to tell them that the rubber is being used for the

front tire on some jet.

That's the ultimate solution.

My friend, Rabiner,
