China owns property near our military bases.

We just deported some guy from India for a criminal charge , (I think he was scamming elderly people) as well as it looks like Trump might revoke all of the Chinese visas, so it is not just the ones from the Muslim countries who are having the visa revoked, it is anyone from any foreign country who causes any kind of trouble, or is arrested for something.
It is not going to happen overnight, but they will be deported.

Any person here that does not have a current visa is also going to be deported, as well as subject to large fines if they do not self-deport, and that is not just for the Hispanic people, it is for people who might have had a student visa and it expired. So, even if they have not been arrested , or they are not part of the protests, if they do not have a legal visa, they are going to have to leave America.

A Legal Visa? Does that mean came into the country illegally?
Trump said he was going to deport ALL 21 million illegals. Now it seems he has backed up some.
Maybe he is just getting rid of the other criminals with high crime first?
I think we give work visas to season workers, but these 21 million are illegal, not seasonal workers.

If a person has a visa, then they came here legally. People can have a work visa/ green card, like most of the Mexicans have to come here and work in harvesting fruit and veggies.
A person can have a student visa to come here and study. They can have a diplomatic visa, if they are here to represent some other country’s government.
With any kind of visa, if they do something illegal, the visa can be terminated and they have to leave immediately.

This is different than the people from wherever, that simply came here across our border, with no visa or paperwork to allow them in the country, and those people are here illegally. Many of those have criminal arrest warrants in their home country, and/or are criminal gang members.
President Trump is removing all of the illegals, but he is doing it in a sensible and orderly fashion.
The illegals who are gang members are the ones they are first targeting, and then people here who are not gang members, but have criminal charges or arrest warrants.

Then the next group would be the ones who do not have arrest warrants, but are here living off of government money, like welfare or Social Security. We have already been terminating those people, but it often means going through the whole SS program to find them and remove them for receiving money.
The last group would be the people who are here, just living their life, working, and not causing any problems, but they do not have any kind of visa or green card to be here and work.
These people are taking jobs that Americans should be having, and would like to have, and they either will self-deport and come back with legal paperwork, or they will be deported and not eligible for a green card to come back again.

They also have lots of children that may soon replace Americans. I'm not just speaking of Mexicans either, we have people from all the third world nations now here illegally.
Why is it if Western nations don't want to be invaded or changed it is bad, but all other nations can protect their sovereignty?

It's hard to say where things are headed.

The CCP appears to have a plan to double down on economic, ideological, political, and disinformational warfare. They don't seem to be ruling out actual warfare either, such as a military confrontation over Taiwan.

The "Secret Resolution" names a number of partners: Germany, France, the UK, Canada, Australia, Japan, and South Korea. Economic and "full spectrum" informational warfare will be applied to bring them into line with an effort to isolate and marginalize the US as a global economic and military power. It even mentions pushing US influence in the Pacific back to the east of Hawaii.

The CCP bureaucracy seems to be crapping its pants. Many have family, investments, and cash within the US and this is all required to be pulled back into China or one of the "friendly" puppet nations under their thumb. They also seem to lack any confidence in the success of this scheme.

50 minute video, but 15 minutes should give you a flavor.

 

[Jacob Petersheim]

I won't post the video because I know they annoy folks. But if you go to her channel she has a more recent "juicy" video.

How Beijing has used romance and sex for decades to control foreign targets

Not every smile is innocent—and not every relationship is what it seems. Behind China’s polished diplomacy and booming business deals is something a lot more personal… and a lot more dangerous. For years, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has turned seduction into a serious tool of power. This isn’t your typical spy game with trench coats and secret codes. It’s wine over dinner. A slow dance. A whispered promise. And before you know it—you're being watched, used, or controlled. From bars in Beijing to government offices in Europe, a quiet war is being fought—not with guns, but with charm. What looks like love might actually be a setup. And what’s said in bed… might just make its way back to Beijing.​

They don't annoy me. I can ignore those political clickbait videos just as easy as any other political clickbait videos. What annoys me is that people so easily believe what they see on YouTube without fact-checking it in any way for accuracy.

By "fact checking" I assume you mean "vetted by the masters of mainstream media" or something. Or is it closer to "ensuring that it doesn't offend my pre-existing worldview" maybe?

Here's a clue for you though: network "news" is among the least trusted sources of information today for valid reasons.

The woman making those videos above isn't claiming she offers anything but her opinions based on what she observes and hears from insiders. Like many, she offers the information without claiming Divine truth and authority.

"Fact checking" is little but a euphemism for "my eyes and ears are closed."

 

[Jacob Petersheim]

Too long to watch? Maybe. 17 minutes is asking a lot.

Best trade overview I've seen in a while though.

Sadly the title and the picture above are both misleading. But the content is good.

 

[Axel Slingerland]

The title and thumbnail are Clickbait, and as such are like neon signs that the content is most likely fake news. Which leads me to believe 17 minutes to watch that would be more than a lot to ask. It being most likely fake news and the length of the video are like a "Don't waste your time on this" warning. But being an open minded person, and for the sake of conversation, I watched it and had the following conclusions.

0:00: Right off the bat they show you a chart with no indication of the source of the information. Turn off #1.

1:05: They're already hitting you up to play the Like and Subscribe game. That screams "We want more money." Turn off #2.

2:18: Another chart with information from who knows where, again no source.

By 3:00 I was already thinking Clickbait, Fake News, Nonsense and a few other Colorful Metaphors... So I hit stop.

My opinion is that video is nothing more than the opinion of a Conservative who drank a little too much Donald Trump Kool-Aid and it isn't worth the time to discuss it.

I would love to discuss accurate, properly sourced material. But this doesn't qualify to be called that. Hard pass...

And by the way, I'm aware that mainstream news is 99% BS. But so is getting your news from YouTube, podcasts, political rallies, etc. As the old saying goes, "Don't believe everything you have been told."

 

[Jacob Petersheim]

Ahh, the old "discredit the messenger" ploy. Hard fail.

 

[Axel Slingerland]

Seriously... Forget fact checking. If you don't know BS when you see it, that is beyond a hard fail. But in the end, it's your choice. You can believe all the BS political nonsense you want to. It really makes no difference to me or anyone else anyway.

Bots and human agents. Reddit is full of misinformation to guide a narrative and foolish AI toys are slurping it up as gospel.
