This is awful even for the NYT. There is such a thing as national honor. The author is a Marine, according to the byline.

Let’s sacrifice millions of people in a deal with the evil empire. Wow.

[goldstategop]

Liberals want us to sell out Taiwan so the ChiComs will forgive our debt. They’re bottom feeding scum.

Paul V. Kane, a former international security fellow at the Harvard Kennedy School, is a Marine who served in Iraq.

This proposal had to have come from an Ivy Leaguer, and it did.

Pei-Ping.

[hinckley buzzard]

The author may be a Marine but that doesn't mean he knows anything about macro-foreign policy. This idea is self-defeating on its face, and would do irreparable harm to US security interests. No ally would ever trust us again. Israel would be next on the chopping block. Iraq and Afghan obviously will be gone before they even leave, anyway, but this would only hasten their demise. China would be seen as the dominant emerging power, which will cripple India as a partner to balance Peking.

This idiot has about as much cred as the Pulitzer winning Walter Durante who told us the Soviets never imprisoned anybody for political crimes. And the slugs and invertebrates of Manhattan believed him.

Oh well, life in the stagnant coastal backwater of NYawk.

...but their fear of a Red China menacing Asia is anachronistic.

Well, then, I suppose that most of China's neighbours are participating in anachronism.

[Army Air Corps]

The author’s friends should be nervous since the author is likely to screw his friends to save his own hide.

[AmericanExceptionalist]

There are dozens of initiatives President Obama could undertake to strengthen our economic security. Here is one: He should enter into closed-door negotiations with Chinese leaders to write off the $1.14 trillion of American debt currently held by China in exchange for a deal to end American military assistance and arms sales to Taiwan and terminate the current United States-Taiwan defense arrangement by 2015.

Translation: We can enhance our economic well-being by simply selling out our core principles.

For those who have very little concept of honor (and certainly no thought that the US might be imbued with any such thing), such a sellout would probably not be especially difficult...

The New York Times is truly ignoble, rapacious and, well, a pickled version of a newspaper.

[KantianBurke]

Am not a fan of our defense pact with Taiwan but damn! This is one of the ugliest proposals that have been published regarding the debt crisis.

This man is a fool.

[guitarplayer1953]

Maybe BO could sale the island of Manhattan back to the Indians and throw in NY too.

[Cicero]

What rock did this guy crawl out from under.

Obama is already making himself famous as a betrayer of allies. Why the hell would anyone want to be our ally with a traitor like that in the White House? By the time he is through, we won’t have a friend left anywhere in the world, nor a military to defend ourselves with.

It is hard to see how this can be anything but deliberate. And of course the America-hating NY Times wants to encourage it.

[TruthConquers]

To save our economy, ditch SOCIALISM.

That would include public schools, student loans by the government, Fannie and Freddie, SS and all those departments that are NOT enumerated in the Constitution, INCLUDING the FED.

That would fix a lot of this economy.

Can’t we just ditch NYC instead?

I’m amazed this buffoon didn’t start with Israel and then do Taiwan
