Castanza Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 (edited) What a f&@$ing joke….we allow hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants to come across our border every month; put them up in hotels and give them food while we have thousands of Vets and citizens on the streets. We allow people to march in support of terrorist organizations, tear down our flag and wave the flag of the Taliban. Now we roll out the red carpet for Xi and brush the streets of all the homeless to appease a dictator who’s country was complicit in releasing a global pandemic causing ungodly amounts of financial and human loss. A country who sends chemists to Mexico to teach them the fentanyl trade which is ravaging our populace.

Biden also does not give a diplomatic damn about calling a dictator what he is, make of it what you want. I guess the good news is that both side still talk, but there are very clear lines in the sand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suicide? It’s just a job. Worst case, he just going to resign. He can pick from a dozen better paying job with his experience and connections.

Xerxes Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 It seems we were misled by Trudeau. There was an actual case of espionage behind the arrest of the two Canadians in China. I want and demand compensation from Trudeau for creating negative biases in my head that made me avoid going back in China. https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/canada-s-spavor-blames-fellow-prisoner-for-china-arrest-1.2000388.amp.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will the US rescue Europe a third time? Quote China intends to use AI to bolster its authoritarian system; the US must encourage its development in ways that help democracies retain their global edge. A meeting between Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and his Chinese counterpart would open an additional channel of interaction — but don’t think the People’s Liberation Army will stop behaving dangerously in the Western Pacific, or that it will answer the phone in a crisis if the Pentagon calls. ”I think AI has the potential to create infinitely stable dictatorships”: Edited November 19, 2023 by formthirteen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And just because of elections in Taiwan soon and in US later are coming. It will be interesting to see if that fentanyl will even stop flowing, at least for a moment, from China, as was agreed.

james22 Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 By prioritizing security and stability – through surveillance, control, and coercion – over economic dynamism, China’s leaders are abandoning some of the policies and principles that underpinned the country’s “economic miracle.” Unless they change course, the entire global economy will suffer. https://www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/china-growth-slowdown-driven-largely-by-policy-under-xi-jinping-by-takatoshi-ito-2023-11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spekulatius Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 Money for nothin is western decadence.

Trump and Biden's helicopter windfalls (and you can include Trudeau and most European countries) weren't as necessary. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
