Agreed. All this time, pledging solidarity with Taiwan- then sucking up to the PRC....
Does anyone even recall what a nuclear weapon does anymore?
They were supposed to be the weapons to end all wars.....
The Chinese leadership has to love this "general".
All he's done is ensure that our first response to an
attack on Taiwan will be a counterforce nuclear strike
in the heart of China instead of a conventional attack
that would leave the nuclear initiative with China.
That means that China's only option is a nuclear "Pearl
Harbor" in advance of an invasion, which would provoke
a response that would make invading Taiwan all but
impossible.
"I simply find it odd and suspicious when Wal-Mart is the only retailer repeatedly targeted regarding China made products when IN FACT ALL retailers from super chain retailers to (YES) Mom n Pop retailers (See Ebay and flea/antique malls) purchase China made products."
You are right. Walmart is just a stereotype. Walmart is the easiest because they are the biggest. But many others are just as guilty. And frankly, I do not have a problem with buying stuff from other nations. I just have a problem with buyings stuff from nations whose government is communist, crushes religious freedom, and whose military leaders threaten to nuke us, and we keep buying the stuff because they are the cheapest. But maybe I'm being overreactive (sarc)

Well don't just sit there armchair quarterbacking little peons like me about it. B*TCH to all the retailers big and small, super chains and Mom n Pop stores, flea/antique dealers, E-commerce retailers, interior designers and the rest of the global retail sector. And save your "sarc" for a rainy day.
Yeah, I'm not the sharpest tool in the box sometimes.
