Former Ambassador to China: Holding China Accountable for the Coronavirus Is Similar to Hitler and Nazi Germany

Hitler was a leftist, not a conservative, so the analogy is a bad one.

So, getting to the bottom of Coronavirus is red baiting. What does he call it when it’s Russians behind everything?

[beef]

Just look at who is doing the electronic equivalent of book burning these days.

We held post war Germany responsible for the crimes of Hitler so the comparison is fine with me. Propagandists should think about their words before they say them.

[jazusamo]

That is a howler. The turkey sounds like a rabid hyena and would like everyone to think he’s much smarter than he is.

[Vendome]

Really?

How do we hold the Givernors of various state responsible for destroying the lives and livelyhoods of so many citizens?

And continuing down their obvious unsupportable and unsustainable positions?

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

Uhhh, errr. China is the nation holding 1.5 MM Uighurs in concentration camps. That means the US is Hitler. OK, makes sense so far.

Hitler was a National Socialist. The political scene in Germany in the late 20s and early 30s was two types of Socialists (the National Socialists and the International Socialists) fighting over control of the country. The International Socialists, controlled from Moscow, used the term “fascist” to refer to their Socialist cousins who were locally controlled in Italy, Germany, and Spain. The term “Fascist” had been invented by Mussolini in Italy when he and his local brand of Socialism broke away from the International Socialists. But it all comes down to this - they were all Socialists.

My point exactly. You should have seen my Democrat dad’s head explode when I said Hitler was a leftist. It was hilarious.

[Monty22002]

You are 100% correct. Drives me nuts when the masses (that are asses) think Nazis were right wing. What right wing party has the terms ‘socialist’ and ‘workers’ in it? Brutally stupid.

Hey Max, how much money in kickbacks did you make from the Chi-Coms during your stint as Ambassador? And no doubt, you’re still probably making money off them.

Fortunately, I think that Trump is taking this more seriously than you are.

You sound like you’re still expecting to find out if O.J. killed those two people, some day.

China is guilty as hell. Anyone can see it. The question is what, if anything, will be done about it.

There might be some question of which Democrats knew how much, and when, though.

The way this whole thing developed starting with the Italian fashion industry areas controlled by the Chinese commies hit by a runaway CCWV (Chinese Communist Wuhan Virus) breakout occurred in Wuhan

The politburo closed off Wuhan but did not warn the Italian Socialist government or the Pope with whom the Chinese government had good relations with.

But certainly violated that understanding when the socialists should have been informed and allowed to deny those Chinese workers who replaced Italians in those factories taken over by the Chinese travel to and from China particularly for their New Year while this was occurring.

Where they seem to have done almost the same here with Smithfield Pork processing after the Chinese were hit with swine flu which destroyed their pork industry by their takeover of Smithfield Pork processing. When learning of the Wuhan shutdown Trump cut off China air travel with the exception of only allowing American citizens returning..But was immediately attacked by CNN and the alphabet media outlets as a racist Republican action.

[Jacquerie]

No doubt. Like probably half of the senate.
