BREAKING: Rubio Sounds ALARM on China's Nuclear Arsenal - 'America Is LESS SAFE'

Secretary of State Marco Rubio delivered a stark warning Friday that China's explosive nuclear weapons buildup is making America "less safe" and demanding immediate action from the Trump administration to counter this growing threat.

Rubio's urgent comments come just one day after the New START Treaty between the United States and Russia officially expired, leaving America without nuclear arms limitations for the first time in decades. But here's the kicker - any new treaty framework MUST address China's massive nuclear arsenal expansion, something the Biden administration completely failed to tackle.

"We now have two nuclear peers - Russia and China," Rubio declared, making it crystal clear that the days of bilateral arms control are over. The Trump administration isn't going to repeat the mistakes of previous administrations that ignored the Chinese Communist Party's military buildup while America played by outdated rules.

Patriots Sound Off on Social Media

Americans are rallying behind Rubio's tough stance, with @Fearless45Trump sharing the breaking news about China's nuclear threat. Meanwhile, @newreck highlighted disturbing intelligence that "China has conducted a Nuclear Test on 21 June 2020" and is "using technology to hide seismic signatures of its tests."

"China has conducted a Nuclear Test on 21 June 2020(a few days after Galwan Incident) and it is using technology to hide seismic signatures of its tests. Now Marco Rubio says that there are two Nuclear Peers..Russia and China..and any START treaty will need to be negotiated," @newreck posted.

This revelation exposes just how badly the previous administration was caught off guard while China secretly expanded its nuclear capabilities. The timing - right after the Galwan border incident with India - shows Beijing's aggressive posture on multiple fronts.

Critics have also pointed to @KhadarCabd37224's concerns about "China's Control Of Critical Mineral Supplies," highlighting how the CCP has systematically positioned itself to dominate both nuclear weapons AND the supply chains needed to counter them.

Trump's Team Takes Action

Unlike the weakness we saw from the Biden regime, President Trump and Secretary Rubio are putting America first by acknowledging reality: China is now a nuclear superpower that cannot be ignored in arms control negotiations.

The question now is whether America will lead from strength or continue the failed policies that allowed China to reach nuclear parity in the first place. Under Trump's leadership, patriots can be confident that any new treaty will put American security first - not globalist fantasies about cooperation with Communist China.

While we've been focused on domestic issues, China has been playing the long game. How many warheads do they actually have now compared to official estimates?

The real numbers are likely much higher than what's publicly reported. China is notoriously secretive about their capabilities.

About time! China has been our biggest threat for years and too many people have been ignoring it.

Rubio is absolutely right. We've been asleep at the wheel while China has been rapidly expanding their nuclear capabilities. Thank God we have senators willing to speak the truth!

Peace through strength - Reagan knew it then and it's still true today.

Senator Rubio is one of the few who truly understands foreign policy threats. We need more leaders like him who aren't afraid to tell hard truths about our national security.

This is terrifying as a parent. What specific steps can we take to counter this threat? We can't let China gain nuclear superiority.

I served in the Navy for 20 years and this has been a growing concern in military circles for some time. The modernization of China's nuclear forces is happening at breakneck speed while we debate pronouns.

Our military folks have been trying to warn us but politicians weren't listening until now.
