As Thousand Of Cargo Ships Are Anchored Around The U.S. Lets Take A Look At China’s Latest Weapon That Turns Any Merchant Ship Into A Warship ( Photos & Video)
A historic backlog of cargo ships around our country has left the supply chain and shipping industry in a crisis.
Dozens of cargo ships anchored off the coasts of Los Angeles and New York face shocking wait times of up to four weeks and railyards and trucking routes are hopelessly clogged due to the lack of manpower to unload goods – with an expert warning that the government needs to intervene or face spiraling inflation and unemployment.
The backlog of billions of dollars of toys, clothing, electronics, vehicles, and furniture comes as the demand for consumer goods hit its highest point in history as consumers stay home instead of spending money on travel and entertainment.
Supply chains have lagged far behind consumer demand due to a multiple reasons, lack of manpower at American ports and the restrictions that came with the COVID-19 outbreak early last year. And lately mostly because of the Covid vaccine mandate which causes a labor shortage.

The situation is getting worse by the day.
But why everything above is important for our national security?
China is built a long-range cruise missile fired from a shipping container that could turn Beijing’s large fleet of freighters into potential warships and commercial ports into future missile bases.
The new missile tt is a land-attack variant of an advanced anti-ship missile called the YJ-18C, according to American defense officials.
The missile will be deployed in launchers that appear from the outside to be standard international shipping containers used throughout the world for moving millions of tons of goods, often on the deck of large freighters.
The YJ-18C is China’s version of the Club-K cruise missile built by Russia that also uses a launcher disguised as a shipping container.
Spokesmen for the Defense Intelligence Agency and Navy declined to comment at the time.

The news about this weapon was first reported back in 2019 but not one media decided to cover the story.
The new missile also could undermine China’s current buying and building spree for international commercial port projects.
The YJ-18C container missile also is being developed as China is engaged in a major global program called the Belt and Road Initiative that will provide Chinese military forces and warships with expanded access through a network of commercial ports around the world.
China operates or is building deep water ports in several strategic locations, including Bahamas, Panama, and Jamaica that could be used covertly to deploy ships carrying the YJ-18C.

I’m shrewd, passionate, learned and energetic, God-fearing and patriotic. I’ve done a fine job reintroducing good old American conservatism to a new generation of Americans. I’ve earned the love and friendship of many, the hatred of some, but the respect of all.
God is JUST, that you can take to the bank. Too bad for any nation of idolaters.
That is totally awesome.
At least China is getting it right. If the rest of the world folds under them, then so be it, it is THEIR fault for being weak and letting freedom be stolen from them.
Where would they use it? In our ports? To defend theirs? To attack other nation’s shipping at sea?
Here’s the thing about a weapon like that. It gets used once, maybe twice. Then war is declared and ALL Chinese shipping gets targetted and sunk.
Japan tried that in WWII. So did we. Look at the Q ship as an example.
These are things we have read and I’ve worried about for quite some time. I see the disclaimers but I know these are worries that the Trump administration had to take into consideration. Yes, scary. I now see woke leadership in our own military and it’s bothersome, to say the least. I would have liked my children to have lived the same natural wonderful life I’ve had the chance to have but I see China corruption everywhere I look. Now, let’s get back to honest elections. We need to do everything it takes to make sure our elections are OUR Elections.
ONLY a matter of time before the Iranian/chinese nukes start detonating on the CONUS. WHEN that happens, we have the lists of home addresses of democrat/repub pols that have allowed this to occur over the last 40 years. Starting with the pols that “transferred” our tech overseas starting in the 60’s with US built tv’s.
This is no joke.
