It seems everyone in DC is still fighting the Cold War.
The title is a misquote. he said “was”, not “is” closed off.
The establishment is still pretending to fight the Cold War because they’ve joined the China Party. Sec. Pompeo is right: they’re inside our gates, and in huge numbers.
“It seems everyone in DC is still fighting the Cold War.”
Because they need a boogey man. “We have always been at war with Eastasia”. Keep the people scared and under control.
China is no longer just within our borders, China is in the White House in the form of creepy Joe Biden.
The Chinese realized in the 80s that the USA and most of its leaders could be bought...Russia didn’t realize this for a couple decades
Maybe he meant “was”?
Still this hero at the last minute on the way out the door act doesn’t fly with me.
I think he was referring to the last could war with the USSR. Since they dissolved decades ago. If he meant Russia today he would have referred to them as such.
*** It seems everyone in DC is still fighting the Cold War. ***
And a bunch of old FReepers.
he was talking past tense about USSR VS China now!
I do love 1980’s tv, music, and movies...
Now imagine there never was the USSR.
America would had been short of hundreds of trillions of $.
I think that he meant to say that the USSR *WAS* closed off to the free world. They didn’t have hundreds of thousands or millions of students in our universities, etc., because we didn’t let them do that. At best, they could infiltrate a few hundred or thousand agents, and we were constantly looking for them.
With Chynah, we have welcomed them with open arms and they’ve clearly bribed and/or blackmailed hundreds of high-level government officials. The fox is inside the chicken coop, and no one seems to care.
