Fund them. Take it out of welfare.
If you hate China so much, why don't you grab your tactical IT gear and attack China yourself.
The US empire's attitude to China has nothing to do with national security, as China
HAS NO INTENTION of invading any nation outside of its borders. The US empire's bellicose policy has more to do with trying to stop China's continuing economic growth, since the hey days of America's real economic growth are gone forever and never coming back.
It's not China's fault that the US empire can't economically compete, with the godfather of capitalism, in the East. Its not China's fault, the ultrawealthy in America decided to sacrifice the livelihoods of Americans, in favor of cheap Chinese workers. What is funny, is the ultrawealthy wants its subject citizens to blame China for their own personal financial situation and not the real Wall Street culprits, who have forsaken them, for slave-wage labor, in that very same country.
Americans are being played the fool because its not the ultrawealthy that will be doing the dying, in a war with China; it will be themselves. But hey, other than currently being made to buy their Covid-19 vaccines, that's the only thing subject citizens, of the US empire, are good for, right?
