GERMANY has rattled China after joining the UK, France and the US in a rare attack, after Berlin called out Beijing's responsibility for the global pandemic and even issued a £130bn invoice.

WW2 got its start at the signing of the Versailles treaty in Europe

In Japan, it started when FDR started to stop trade with Japan because of what Japan was doing in China.

So the Japanese history is closer than the Euro history. Although, I guess, one could call this thing with the Red Chinese a mix of the two if this goes forward. They wont, and Red China knows it.

The best thing we could do, is cause a rebellion in Red China and let them solve the problem.

That may well happen.

IF, we were to drop nearly every single such device on China we have, it wouldnt get but about 70% of them immediately.

But I would tell you this. One on the Three Gorges Dam would really hurt them and wash a hell of a lot of them out.

Those that think the answer is to “nuke” them dont consider the NORKS. The Russians, The Iranians-or all the Muzzie countries including Turkey, who I would not trust any more than a snake.

A very poorly written or deliberately misleading article! It was a German newspaper that put the “invoice” together not the German government. For the German government to do it would require far more scrotal material then they’ve displayed in 75 years. Maybe they will!

Right you are.-Tom

Buried in the aricle:

A bombshell op-ed this week in Germany's largest tabloid newspaper, Bild, joined this outrage by drawing up an itemised invoice for €149bn (£130b).

Dishonest headline designed to lure clicks.

Wonder if this winds up like German reparations payments after WW1. China gets tagged with bill, locked out of product end markets until they pay. Struggles under debt load, goes full Weimar with knock on effects.

That’s actually kind of scary analysis. I have thought of the ChiComs as very much a parallel to the nazis of the 1930’s. Praised as tough but efficient by the Leftists now as it was with the leftists then. Lots of echoes of history.

Fury my ass. I’m sick of the fake reactions by the thugs who control communist China. They aren’t “furious” they’re just no good bastards.

If only the rest of the infected world would follow suit.

Yeah, they could wind up being a dictatorship. Or something.

Yep, fake. If the worlds largest economies united, we could make China do anything we want. USA, Japan, Germany, France, UK, India, Italy. Unfortunately, they are as likely to unite behind China as against them.

Germany is the only developed nation with a trade surplus with China. They will be the last ones to turn off the lights when the rest of the West hauls their supply chains out of China after the Covid crisis is over

“Gotta be careful some countries can nuke back.”

True dat! I hope it doesn’t get that far.

Quarantine AND nuclear winter does not fit my style.
