Author Anne Applebaum then adds this near the end of her hit piece:
To be absolutely crystal clear: I am not praising China’s efforts. I am simply calling attention to the fact that, in a world where people laugh at the American president, they might succeed. Inside the bubble of officials who surround Pompeo, it may well seem very brave and cutting-edge to use the expression “Wuhan virus” or to call for bigger and bolder rhetorical attacks on China. But out there in the real world—out there in the world where Pompeo’s boss is perceived as a sinister clown, and Pompeo himself as just the sinister clown’s lackey—not very many people are listening. Once again: A vacuum has opened up, and the Chinese regime is leading the race to fill it.
Oh, sure she isn't. She is one of those people who is all in on repression of individual rights for the benefit of the state.
The cowardly POS knows she can't say it, hence the disclaimer.
And one more thing: We don't give a rat's ass about who is laughing at whom. You and your ilk can drown in a puddle of your own piss because you are so worried someone might laugh at you.
For Leftists, ridicule is the most effective poison. They are impervious to logic. They are impervious to reality. They are impervious to facts. But if you ridicule them, that is what they fear, and what enrages them the most.
Conservatives are ridiculed by them all the time, so we are somewhat resistant to it.
Do you enjoy posting leftist propaganda?
Once again: A vacuum has opened up, and the Chinese regime is leading the race to fill it.
Anne A. hails her new Chinese overlords.
Oh, the wailing and gnashing of teeth when
President Trump has four more years.
I will frolic happily in a pool of their bitter tears.
Get some, bitches!
It's so nice how ‘the world’ is laughing at Trump - a billionaire who donated his time to help right the ship of America, and who without any political experience has been extremely effective and has showed how feckless the political class and ‘the liberal cocktail party crowd’ are.
Another leftist non religious Jew spouting her sick opinions. Why when they are such a small portion the population of the country are they so prominent in the media? I really have nothing against Orthodox and ultra Orthodox Jews who are god fearing people. Non religious Jews are mainly progressives who do more harm to society than good.
I only wish Anne Applebaum had been welded into an apartment in Wuhan, with her terrified family.
.....but I'm going to dedicate an entire column to China's effort.
I don’t think the rest of the world is laughing. They spent hard currency on useless medical equipment and PPEs from China
The vacuum that opened up only exists in the minds of these socialist intellectualoids. Populists around the world will soon be laughing at the globalist stupidity that belongs, along with Marxism, on the manure pile of history.
The person who has the final, decisive move or victory in a feud, quarrel, or competition is the only one who is truly successful.
China is the paper tiger, we are the sleeping giant. Keep poking and you will regret it China.
How’d it work out when China filled the void in Italy?
A vacuum has opened up,
