The leaders of three branches of the U.S. military slammed Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) over his monthslong blockade of senior military promotions Tuesday, with one accusing the Republican senator of “aiding and abetting communists.”

“For someone who was born in a communist country, I would have never imagined that actually one of our own senators would actually be aiding and abetting communists and other autocratic regimes around the world,” Navy Secretary Carlos Del Toro — a Cuban-born Navy veteran — said Tuesday during an interview on CNN alongside Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall and Army Secretary Christine Wormuth.

“This is having a real negative impact and will continue to have a real negative impact on our combat readiness,” Del Toro added.

    China says it’s a communist country,

    “China says”? You mean the one, and true voice of 1.3 billion Chinese people, that all agree with? Or even the majority?

    China is run by money like most of the rest of the world, therefore the system under the hood is capitalism. And since it’s a one-party system, it’s a de-facto dictatorship.
