[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][img][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, it is good diplomacy. The US built and paid for the Panama Canal.  The issue Trump is raising is about China-controlled ports there, and I don't see why the US should have to put up with China imposing extortionate fees on access to a canal we built. It's actually very bad foreign policy to ignore our adversaries and cede dominance to them. [/quote]

We also have the issue of China controlling ports in the US.  This is behind Trump supporting the union over automation.[/quote]

Yeah. Interestingly, the people on the thread expressing anger about Trump's position haven’t explained why they are in favor of China's dominance in that region.  [/quote]

Easy answer.

Because modern American democrats are actually communists-in-hiding, and being communists, they will aid and abet other communists - excuse me - [i]fraternal socialist allies[/i] - around the world.

If something is good for the Chinese Communist Party, then it’s good with American democrats, too. [/quote]

You are giving the Dems too much credit. They are not capable of an international conspiracy and carrying water for the COMINTERN. It is much simpler. After 20 years of identity politics Cultural Revolution brainwashing, most Dems just view everything as “Whitey bad POC good” ergo supporting Chinese communist and “LatinX” drug runners equals good.

You know….I thought about this almost the entire time I was walking my dogs just now… and I think you’re probably right. At least with the masses. I still contend that there are communist fellow travelers among our gilded coastal elite of the democrat party, but among the rank-and-file leftists, it’s probably as you elude to.

They’re not even smart enough to be actual ideologists.

Very sad. We assign these people too much credit.  [/quote]

You sound unhinged.[/quote]

This is [i]such[/i] a feckless and lazy retort. It’s so threadbare from overuse. Anyone still using the phrase [i]“you sound unhinged[/i]” should be ridiculed and made fun of for being intellectual slob they are. Much as with the word “racist”, “unhinged” doesn’t even have any real meaning anymore because it’s been so totally and completely overused and misapplied by the left. Everything they take issue with, oppose or dispute is now “unhinged”.

FFS, will someone buy them a thesaurus for Christmas or Chanukah? There’s a whole language out there to make use of! [/quote]
