God created the world. Anything else is made in China. The two nations have in common though. Both glorify abortion, and yet call itself human rights advocate. What a shame. Choose life and you'll live

FucN traders!

Really, the U.S. Navy was that stupid ? Or was it part of the Communist Insurrection against the American people through the Communists in the Democratic Party & the Deep State. Trump is standing in their way. Thats the reason for the impeachment against Trump.

You gonna say when they were purchased

Why would you trust China to make equipment for the US military?

😳😳😳😳😳😳😳

China is taking over

Whose idea of a joke was it?

Let's see if we've got this right. Capitalism is a system which insists the fiduciary interests of profit are the legal priority. The military exists to support American Interests which are defined as maximizing Capitalism. That Capitalism which then undermines the military.

Did Joe Biden and his son Hunter own this ? If so NBC and the media will kill this story right away!

Well look who finally joined the party!!

this story is unnerving... more security concerns

The United States of China?

Can't help but notice the two acoustic guitars on the pile.
