So is the new incel talking point to blame this wholly on china? and if so, to what end? Be super war thirsty and fight them? Cancel our debt?
just spitballing but it seems to be the super old/impotent and stupid position now. I bet it is widely held in the poorest/fattest and dumbest states.
yeah trying to nail down China so we have a fall guy doesn't seem like a productive use of resources
cRusty, please document the resources that will be expanded, and while you're at it, please pass me another defective Chinese produced mask.
The president and secretary of state are usually valuable resources but I get your point given our current people in those positions.
Firing up people to blame China to what end as was asked earlier? Nationalism?
Thanks for responding, Phil.
Sadly, Useful Idiot Nation does an excellent job of parroting Chinese Propaganda that usually comes from media sources with vast financial interests in China. Comcast and Bloomberg are just two examples.
What Useful Idiot Nation always fails to understand is that the Chinese Communist Party hasn't really hidden the fact that they plan on dominating the world, and plan on doing so within the next 5 to 10 years by pretty much any means possible. China 2025, which seeks to dominate the whole of global technology manufacturing, and Belt and Road are just two examples. Strategic Control of the South China Sea would be the 3rd example. China's geo-strategic acquisition strategy would be a 4th example; Australia (for example), might as well be called China-South, look at a map of strategic Australian ports (massive Chinese investment and acquisition) and think for a moment, but I digress. '
The counter argument to this would be to ask, isn't the United States attempting to do the same thing? Certainly, and in many cases it's been a disaster, look no further than what the previous two administrations have done in the Middle East, what a cluster eff, huh? (thankfully we have a president who doesn't believe in all that regime change BS at the level the 2 previous guys). Given that the United States has pulled back into trying the dominate the world from an economic perspective with this administration, there was most certainly hope that it would be trade and not burning down countries and walking away, would be the new course. The quandary is that a post recession United States economic powerhouse was/is/will be a direct threat to Chinese initiatives and ambition.
One could very easily argue that President Xi and the party allowed this virus to go global after realizing that there was nothing they could do to contain it. Knowing full well that they would and are deploying draconian measure to control, while the rest of the industrialized world still has a smidge of humanity and human rights coursing through their collective veins.
The counter argument to this would be that this virus would decimate the economies that China depends on, a valid point. However one school believes that the Communist Chinese regime thought their system would emerge through the viral worm hole better positioned to take advantage of a economically weakened (G20) world and thus be able to accelerate their two primary global initiatives.
Phil, it's been a pleasure, any questions?
