It’s even worse. I broke a wheel on my lawnmower.

You're a VICTIM! You've been oppressed by BIG LAWNMOWER!

You are owed REPARATIONS!

Me too.

Even if the rumor is true that Xi’s authority has been challenged one way or another, there will be a river of blood to pay by the dissidents. China is not the place to vacation right now. It will be like another Boxer Rebellion. A commie ruler is no one to fool around with.

What Xi is to China, Biden is to the US except that Xi cares for his country more than Biden does for his.

” It will be like another Boxer Rebellion”

Ok, that settles it I’m watching “55 days in Peking” tonight.

Report indicates that the Chinese have more common sense than those in the US. People in China lose faith in ability of government to lead the people.

How quaint and reaganesque.

I was driving down the highway in Western MA and I saw a convoy of military trucks.

A National Guard unit was coming back from training. My cel phone could have made it look like preparations for the invasion of Normandy.

Context means a lot.

“I was thinking Sand Pebbles. You can never go wrong with Steve McQueen.”

Not a bad choice. Great scenes with a BAR, Richard Crenna.

A commie ruler is no one to fool around with.

That's because they know if the people get any kind of real power they'll be lucky to be swinging from lampposts.

China is essentially a huge kleptocracy now, much like Russia after the fall of communism.

The only important thing to know is what side(s) the red army is going to ultimately support.

Thanx for your observation & comments

I guess I could have combined them, but a β€œtop 9” list would have seemed weird??
