[A little while back I asked for feedback on the notion of moderating RR comments in the effort to cut out a lot of the naked ad hominem interpersonal crappola comments that contribute nothing to the discussion of ideas, issues, or events.  The plan would be to quit moderating again as soon as the ad hominems were promoted to at least high school, if not churchillian, levels.  The response from all you worthies was a massive yawn.  Silence is also feedback, so I take that as apparently no one cares.  Thank you. gjr]

    Hey Fife, I expect you to go show your respect to the murdered police officer from Newman, he was a legal immigrant. Your pal the illegal killed him. So get your sorry butt down to the service then go help your pal with his bail since you love them so much.

    Thanks Bill for the link. I pretty much agree with him. I would add to it our coup in The democratically elected government in Iran in 1953 that led to the Shah of Iran that led to the radical movement that Ousted him. Bush was a disaster and Obama was a disaster in the Middle East. Trump doesn’t have a clue and won’t listen to people that do. So there you have it where we stand today.

    The chi coms are too used to team 0 running the show –
    But Xi and his followers have watched their diplomatic, economic and military initiatives come up short, engendering increased resistance from other Indo-Pacific nations rather than the re-alignment China expected. Now the Trump administration’s trade tariffs threaten to destabilize the Chinese economy, resulting in a cascade failure of Xi Jinping’s broader strategy and threatening to undermine the legitimacy of the Communist Party, hence the stronger and more strident attacks.
    China’s desperate attempts to regain the momentum, however, betrays an ignorance of the American culture.
    China perceived the lack of strategic focus of the George W. Bush administration and the passive “lead from behind” foreign policy of the Obama administration as American decay and a decline. In reality, the foundational aspects of the American economy remain surprisingly strong and the American fighting spirit is not dead, but only sleeping. Those who would believe that the sinking of two aircraft carriers would trigger an impulse towards retreat would do well to make themselves aware of the United States’ history and the impact events such as the sinking of the Lusitania, the attack on Pearl Harbor and the collapse of the World Trade Center had on the American psyche. What some have labeled the Jacksonian impulse could be described as a tendency towards great power rage. To be sure it burns itself out. After all, the U.S. is considering leaving Afghanistan, seventeen years later.
    But make no mistake: any attack upon a single U.S. aircraft carrier by long range aircraft, cruise missiles or ballistic missiles would surely generate a response against the bases those weapons were launched from, the sensors associated with them and the command and control nodes that directed them, and then the United States would turn its attention on the Chinese naval and merchant fleet.
    Before China knew what was happening, it would be cut off from the overseas sources of energy and raw materials that fuel its import/export economy. Within weeks it would be without fuel and its factories would be shuttered. The American economy, established in a nation that has most of the resources domestically available, would be able to ride out the storm, even if China attempted to climb the escalation ladder and attack targets in North America.
    For China, it is better for them to get their more bellicose voices under control and approach the bargaining table with the United States over trade issues in good faith and with an openness to real compromise on the economic issues that divide our two nations, rather than resorting to nationalist saber rattling.
    Xi Jinping should try harder to understand his real strategic position while remembering that he who rides the tiger finds it difficult to dismount. There will be no return to global hegemony or Middle Kingdom status. China brought its candle out from under the basket too soon, and its broader, aggressive ambitions have been revealed.
    As for the United States, it should follow the lead of President Trump and his new acting Secretary of Defense Patrick Shanahan, who between them have identified that we are in an era of great power competition that will require more effort and that the focus of that competition is China, and China and China.

    Our Liar in Chief lies again. Do any of you believe what he said is true?
    “President Trump held a rambling, stream-of-consciousness press event Friday afternoon in the Rose Garden and made many statements that defy belief. Among them, that he’s talked with several previous presidents and they all told him they should have built a wall on the Southern border.
    “This should have been done by all of the presidents that preceded me,” Trump told reporters, about building a wall.
    “some of them have told me that we should have done it,” he claimed.
    He is claiming that at least two (some is more than 1) of the following presidents said they should have built a wall on the Southern border: Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush, Barack Obama.
    Which of this group would have said that? As I understand it none of them will even speak to Trump let alone agree with him that they should have done it. Obviously eliminating Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, and Barack Obama that leaves the two Bushes. Fat chance. What a liar.

    As of January 10, he will be usurping the presidency and consequently this National Assembly is the only legitimate representative of the people.”
    Maduro is set to be sworn in on Thursday for a second six-year term after holding controversial early elections May 20.
    The elections were boycotted by most of the opposition and widely condemned by the international community.
    On Friday, foreign ministers from 12 Latin American countries and Canada announced in Lima that their governments would not recognize Maduro as president if he attempts to remain in office and urged him to turn over power to the National Assembly.

    Brazil has thrown off the greenie handcuffs –
    Yet instead, it seems as though Western Greens are saddling up for a major confrontation with Bolsonaro. On December 27, the Sierra Club magazine headlined a story, “What Will It Take to Rein in the Trump of Brazil? Brazil’s president-elect threatens the planet.” In that article—which reads exactly like the lefty imperialism that Ernesto Araújo was railing against—the Sierra Club declares, “Bolsonaro has shown a responsiveness to economic and international pressure, which could be one way to contain him.”
    We might pause over that word: contain. That is, the people of Brazil just elected a new leader, knowing full well of his pro-growth agenda. And yet now, the Sierra Club, and other Western Greens, seek to contain him—and, by extension, to contain the Brazilian standard of living.
    Will Brazilian nationalists be pleased to discover that the Greens are actively using international financial levers against their country? And how will ordinary Brazilians respond to these threats to their standard of living? It will be interesting to see what happens in this looming standoff.

    Another lie from our Liar in Chief
    “We have won against ISIS,” Mr. Trump declared in a video posted Wednesday evening on Twitter, adding, “Our boys, our young women, our men — they’re all coming back, AND THEY’RE COMING BACK NOW”
    Today John Bolton said:
    ” President Donald Trump’s national security adviser said Sunday that the American military withdrawal from northeastern Syria is conditioned on defeating the remnants of the Islamic State group and on Turkey assuring the safety of U.S.-allied Kurdish fighters.
    John Bolton said there is NO TIMETABLE FOR THE PULLOUT, but insisted the military presence is not an unlimited commitment.
    “There are objectives that we want to accomplish that condition the withdrawal,” Bolton told reporters in Jerusalem before heading to Turkey on Monday, where he will be joined by the chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Joseph Dunford. “The timetable flows from the policy decisions that we need to implement.”
    Those conditions, he said, included defeating what’s left of IS in Syria and protecting Kurdish militias who have fought alongside U.S. troops against the extremist group.”
    “Coming back now”- another lie from our liar in chief.
