Considering the dominance of shoot-from-the-hip posts on this thread, let me add one more.
I don’t know beans about this deal, but if selling soybeans to the egregious Chicoms helps get Trump reelected I’m all for it.
Sometimes, the best you can hope for is to kick the can down the road.
And I’ll bet that Xi and his minions are going to be hacked off when they have to deal with DJT for four more years.
It does seem to me that any deal with China isn’t worth the rice paper it’s printed on. I don’t know whether this is peculiar to the Chicom leadership or characteristic of the culture as a whole.
I’ve been doing some reading about Chinese history lately, and I have to admit that the more I read, the less I respect that culture.
To the Chinese it’s ok to break any rule as long as you don’t get caught.
>> the dominance of shoot-from-the-hip posts,
You are the master of understatement.
