Your thinking is flawed. Why lose 40% (or more) of assets to gain something that could be purchased with less than 1%?
I believe it was a planned desperation hit by Chicoms and the American/Globalist Left. A nuclear option type move as Trump was soaring to reelection.
If this is the plan, it is a piss-poor plan.
Since Job #1 after we get though this is going to be to smash the globalists and disengage ourselves from China, this is not going to work out very well for them.
Winnie-the-Flu is going to be the worst thing that ever happened to China and their globalist lackeys.
China, Saudi Arabia and Russia are giving us the ONE-TWO punch!
Is that why they kicked Iran in the gonads?
China would know that any bio-weapon released today would rapidly spread around the world - there would be no way to spare their own population from it.
It is significant that this virus only kills the old and infirm. Could China have calculated that such a virus would bring Western nations to their knees as we willingly sacrificed our economies and liberties to save our weakest citizens, while at the same time clearing away lots of what the CCP considered to be “useless eaters” from China’s own population?
Come on folks, this is the war between nationalism (Trump and a few others) against the globalist movement led by China.
They started a bio war, and our President is keeping a lid on it to prevent the requirement of nuclear return on our part. We all know that there is a hell of a lot we are not being told.
Please step back from the media driven agendas, and evaluate the actions of the players. President Trump has been trying to tell us this will be over soon, and China is trying to blame us with their huge propaganda machine. America has had bio capability for generations now, and we have had no need to employ them.
China, is the master of asymmetrical warfare. Lies are the foundation of any communist government, and deceit is their method of survival- like our left. Projection is their defense to save face.
The four senators on the Intelligence committee that liquidated millions of dollars of their stock portfolios clearly new something other than the possibillity of a pandemic. Senator Kennedy of LA (someone I trust) was present during these closed door meetings on this virus threat and heard nothing that he would conclude as "inside information" worthy of making the stock sales these four senators did. So what did they know that was NOT being talked about in these closed door meetings? How did they manage to pull off the most perfectly timed stock market exit in history? Did they somehow know this was not just a threat of a pandemic? Their actions indicate they knew almost for certain this was going to impact the US greatly. What did they know that was not talked about even to other US senators and maybe even the President?
Well the ChiComs have now begun to insult Trump by saying he caused the pandemic via incompetence and racism. In my view this proves they are overreacting to something they supposedly didn’t do.
1) It is a well-orchestrated plan.
2) When you find out who is behind it, it will blow your mind.
3) Trust
