I notice China didn’t lodge their “protest” with President Trump. I think it was quite wise on China’s part to pick on someone their own size. Nonetheless, look’s like President Trump has got their attention!
“The 8 year party is over.”
Well, it looks as though “this party” started in 1972, and it should have been over decades ago. I used to think Nixon was a decent president apart from Watergate, but now we find this policy coupled with him rolling out the EPA. So he’s coming out as a POS like most of the rest of them.
Red China’s current militant expansionism is very comparable to the former Japanese ‘Co-Prosperty Sphere’..... Thanks to Billy Jeff Clinton and his Abomistration, China has achieve nuclear parody with the US....only a judicious Trump Presidency can intervene diplomatically to slow the rapidly forming geopolitical military alliance between China & Russia.
The outgoing Muslim Incomptent-in-Chief has really destabilized the world.
There is only one free democratic China, and that country is referred to as Taiwan. The other China is an autocratic communist nation where children work for pennies a day to make apple I-phones. It would be difficult to mix them up.
Spot on. Everything Trump does is part of a negotiation and must be viewed in that light to understand it. The world will be getting a first-class education in the Art of the Deal over the next 8 years, and the US will be so much the better for it.
The first step in any negotiation is to understand what the other side really really wants. I think we know, now.
Been to Taiwan - wonderful place and civilized country. We now have an opportunity to administer China a sobering pill, from either end. Apart from Taiwan, this will solve 3 major problems: N. Korea, Pakistan, South China Sea. We (Kissinger, as we speak) created this communist super power that we kowtowing to now.
Sure and while we’re at it, why not “one Holy Land” policy with Israel!!!
Stick to 1 China policy? Ok, that 1 China is the FREE state previously known as Taiwan. What shall we call you now, West China?
When we want your opinion we will bomb it out of you.
In the war between civilization and barbarians I always pick the civilized.
I think Trump can tell China where to stick it.
All that having been said, I think you may have the Logan Act wrong. It IIRC prohibits diplomatic activity by private citizens. Trump IS a private citizen until he is sworn in as POTUS. When he is POTUS, he will have every right to engage in diplomacy.
All this is inconsequential compared to the massacre of the Constitution by Obozo and his minions. Personally, I hope that Trump talks to as many foreign leaders as he can before and after Inauguration and hits the ground running and hits America's enemies harder than they can imagine starting on Day 1.
He seems to have a real instinct and talent for this sort of thing. He is also making reds' heads explode by dissing our wonderful friends in Beijing, the heirs of Chairman Mao-Tze-Tung.
John Kery is a traitor. When we were negotiating the end if the Viet Nam war, he went to Pars and lent aide and comfort to the enemy.
Eff china
Ok. Taiwan is China!
Precisely!
“John Kery is a traitor. When we were negotiating the end if the Viet Nam war, he went to Pars and lent aide and comfort to the enemy.”
There is no doubt. That’s why Carter changed his (Kerry’s) DD form 214.
FU peanut man.

“All options are on the table.”
Our foreign policy has suffered from failing to keep all options on the table. Trump is a good negotiator and he is appropriately setting the stage letting all of the actors know they can’t expect business as usual. He will negotiate from strength, not the weakness projected for the last 8 years and the conventional globalist thinking of the 20 years previous.
I hope Trump will take time to read George Washington’s farewell address. He would be wise to heed the wisdom of the founding fathers who warned future generations against “foreign entanglements”.
Washington stated, “Against the insidious wiles of foreign influence, (I conjure you to believe me fellow citizens,), the jealousy of a free people ought to be constantly awake; since history and experience prove that foreign influence is one of the most baneful foes of Republican Government. But that jealousy to be useful must be impartial; else it becomes the instrument of the very influence to be avoided, instead of a defense against it. Excessive partiality for one foreign nation and excessive dislike of another, cause those whom they actuate to see danger only on one side, and serve to veil and even second the arts of influence on the other. Real Patriots, who may resist the intrigues of the favourite, are liable to become suspected and odious; while its tools and dupes usurp the applause & confidence of the people, to surrender their interests.”
Washington went on to encourage commercial relations with other nations but avoid political connections and alliances. He supported strict neutrality in commerce and would have been appalled by modern trade agreements (NAFTA, CAFTA, WTO, TPP). He certainly would have opposed the United Nations and NATO.
