‘Furious Invincibility,’ Furious Inflation
We withstand all threats, shelling, cluster bombs, cruise missiles, kamikaze drones, blackouts, and cold. We are stronger than that. It was a year of resilience. A year of care. A year of bravery. A year of pain. A year of hope. A year of endurance. A year of unity. The year of invincibility. The furious year of invincibility.

The United States should recognize that even if it doesn’t want to be at war with the People’s Republic of China, the PRC has been waging war on the U.S. The PRC is harming Americans with fentanyl, technology theft, and corruption of our academic, business, and government elites.

If the US doesn’t want to lose again, it will have to stop enriching its enemy. Boycott, divest, and sanction the People’s Republic of China.
