Talk about spewing the exact wrong message. Globalism got us into this mess.
Agree. Getting very tired of Leftist crap.
Trump's handling of the China virus could not have been WORSE, and I'm truly PO'd about it..
We totally bungled the testing rollout, and are STILL not able to test on any large scale, regardless of the BS from Pence and others. Just today, it was revealed that while SOME test kits have FINALLY shipped (6 weeks later than they should have) that the chemicals needed to perform the test are in "very short supply". Um, logistics failure 101, anyone? You can't stop the spread of a virus if you don't know where said virus EVEN IS within a population.
Instead of banning ALL incoming flights from infected countries, we decided to ban flights only from countries less friendly (China, Iran) to us than others (Italy, S. Korea). Many of the "seed" cases that have now explosively spread through the US started with people who came in from S. Korea and Italy and who were never quarantined, as they should have been.
Trump keeps telling us "everything will be fine" and "the team is doing a great job" or comparing this to the flu - when none of that is remotely true. We're only a couple of weeks behind Italy on the infection growth curve, and unless something major changes or we get really, really "lucky", we are going to be in the same spot as Italy within a few weeks to a month or so.
Incidentally and FWIW, I hope my expectations are 100% WRONG - but my gut says they will not be, based on all available evidence and data.
Kevin knows that the Americans’ natural inclination following all this, would be to become insular, to withdraw from all outside influence.
SO, he takes it upon himself to get out there and twist and turn facts to his convoluted way of thinking.
It won’t work, Kev.
Wow, I wonder how much storyboarding it took to come up with this angle. If it weren’t for globalism, this virus would only be a problem in China instead of popping up in more and more places, looking an awful lot like a pandemic in the making.
I was just talking to my wife about this yesterday. I think the chinavirus is seriously damaging globalism.
Nationalism + capitalism = prosperity.
Post Trump I will do everything I can to pull down the GOP.
Globalist hate American Exceptionalism. They don’t care about the people that make up our country.
They will do whatever it takes to exploit a country for their our own selfish advantage and or so they can play God.
Including flooding a country with illegal occupiers, overwhelm the rule of law, create massive debt.
Whatever it takes.
Did Singapore and Taiwan get an early handle on the virus taking an “international” or “globalist” attitude toward it?
No. They did what a nation does best - do all the right things to take care of itself. Those where the virus has spread most rapidly failed NOT in the “international” response, but in not taking care of themselves as the 1st priority.
Read the author’s bio. He is a dedicated globalist and with a think tank PROMOTING “international governance”. It is telling that the publications he writes for have him write for them ignoring his bias in his perspective on things.
Comcast is NBC, MSNBC, CNBC, USA, SYFY, E!, Universal Studios, Telemundo, and much more.
Comcast is the enemy because it is a primary purveyor of anti American propaganda, the primary voice of our progressive enemies
Wrongo. History: 50+ years ago, pre “globilization”, Hong Kong flu (funny how this crap always starts in the same place) killed more people than this latest kerfluffle will. The country survived. Of course it wasn’t inhabited by snowflakes then
But the point he’s trying to make is that this could have all been better and it’s Trump’s fault that this CV is as bad as it is due to him not embracing globalism as his predecessors did. As if it wouldn’t be so “bad” now if Trump wasn’t so “America First” and somehow that has made governments not want to work enough together against this. Yes, other pandemics have been worse but this CV has wound up as bad as it is due to globalist attitudes for the last 30 years.
