ERICOPOLY Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 I in no way am defending the government of Cuba. But punishing the PEOPLE of Cuba with the U.S. blockade is A) inhumane and B) forces Cuba to rely on China and Russia for their needs - what choice do they have? After 60 years shouldn't it have ocured to someone that it is has not worked? More deflection from you. Who is ULTIMATELY responsible for the welfare of the Cuban paradise? The USA or the Communist regime? I hear North Korea has free health care and free education. But the real bonus for you Cwericb - NO reported cases of CV How do you write "more deflection from you" and then start talking about North Korea in the very same post?

rb Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 I think Trump really screwed 3M and a whole bunch of American companies with that dumb stunt of his on the masks. 3M CEO: It’s part of our strategy, we have excess capacity to bring online. This COVID fight is like nothing we’ve seen, the demand is so much greater so we’re trying to do everything we can to bring capacity in the U.S. while we still serve Canada and Latin America where we are often the sole supplier. Ontario Premier: Our manufacturing, we're gearing up and when those assemblies start, we’re aren’t going to stop them. Why do I get the feeling that 3M mask market share is about to take a dive in Canada through no fault of their own? How much you want to bet that this same conversation is happening in many other industrialized countries around the world? How much do you want to be the conversations aren't just about 3M masks but encompass a whole range of products made by American companies?

Trump apologist brigade upset about perceived criticism from "opposition party" about the China travel ban, but don't acknowledge that the "opposition party" effectively wrote DJT a $2 Trillion stimulus check in an election year. Largest stimulus ever. How would Mitch McConnell have treated Obama if the tables were reversed and a pandemic happened in early 2012? I think I know: "The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president," -McConnell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samwise Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Dear Mr. Trump. You can keep your masks. We have just sent Air Canada to China to pick up a few million of them. While we will not forget, we do have enough class class to continue to provide you with the materials to make those precious masks that you stole from us. We will not shut the power off to Boston and New York, nor will we prevent the 3,000 Canadian nurses who cross the border daily to staff Detroit’s hospitals. And the next time you have a 911, we will still allow your planes to land here and take in your people. But it is nice to know who your true friends are in times of need. China true friend of Canada? You send them the money and they send you the goods. What does the USA do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now Biden learned well from De Blasio, who has been humiliated for keeping life in NYC "completely normal - no changes needed" - until well into March. De Blasio, of course accused Trump of being a Xenophobe and Racist. Well learned, tried and true Democratic tactics. What a disaster for your heroes. Sorry to disappoint.

minten Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/map.html Exponential trend continues alarmingly in many countries: U.S., Spain, France, UK, German. Italy *might* be seeing a slope decline/flattening. We must have a different definition of "exponential" I guess Spain: new cases per day: stable number since March 24th Germany: new cases per day: stable number since March 26th Italy: new cases per day are clearly going down now. also, today for the 1st day Italian IC's were less full than they were the day before. US still exponentially going up, I'll give you that. But obviously European semi-lockdowns are working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is sending us high quality N95 masks. Just wait! They are fully reliable and filter out tiny particles do not worry. And he's going to cut oil output like he says! Us GOP members used to hate Russia, but now we love them since they helped Donnie become pres! A total 180! I do not trust China as much as European allies/Canada--true allies to the U.S., but like it or not China is largest trading partner with U.S. and during a crisis like this, relying on their help works better than insulting them ("China Virus"). Once this crisis is settled, we can go back to fighting for fair trade/patent protection (which China is a repeat violator of). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your strategies to undermine America are more consistent with the propaganda war that's been waged by Russia against the U.S. (to elect Trump, well documented by intel agencies) as opposed to China.

China is making in roads. To be fair, Western political elites (on both side of spectrum) have done a poor job last 30 years. If they did a good job, Trump would never had a chance. Canada, Italy, Spain, maybe certain Eastern European countries, Czech all have opportunity to fall into Chinese influence. This is a long game, goes way beyond Trump. A 50 year game, we’re in year 30. Many authoritative states have already fallen in line. This is a huge opportunity for China to wedge between alliances into a global superpower/new world order.

Dalal.Holdings Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 More isolation from long time allies: https://www.npr.org/2020/04/04/827321294/german-french-officials-accuse-u-s-of-diverting-supplies Earlier this week, officials in both Germany and France accused the U.S. of diverting medical supplies meant for their respective countries by outbidding the original buyers. On Friday, officials in Berlin alleged that the U.S. intercepted a shipment of medical equipment in Thailand from American medical supply company 3M and diverted it to the U.S., the German newspaper Der Tagesspiegel reported. Berlin's interior minister called the alleged interception "modern piracy." All because POTUS needs to "save face" and can't ask China for help. Actions like this are really going to help America in the long run. These (former) U.S. allies will welcome China with open arms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Continued the coverup and lies for months, while thousands of their own die. Let thousands of infected fly around the world - especially to their close friends Iran, Italy and EU countries.
