"Close" to each other? Ever heard of Pollard?

Pollard never caused any harm to the US.

How do you know that? He was convicted of espionage on behalf of a
nation that has engaged in providing its most advnaced weapons to a
nation that we have to maintain an eye on as a potential
threat--doesn't sound all that innocuous to me.


Selling every weapon you can to the PRC?

And that would be bad how ?

Because they reside at the top of the list of potential state threats
to the US.

China enjoys a Most Favored Nation status
in the USA.

And how many advanced *weapons* do we export to them, or do our firms
even try to? There is a difference between civil trade and military
exports--the same rules do not apply.
