The last time these two had to be put down it took a racist and genocidal America, a brutal and vicious Soviet Union and an unapologetically arrogant and imperialistic Britain working together to do it.

Its not necessary to resort to national stereotypes to explain this type of collective human behavior. It seems to be programmed into genus Homo–especially in times of global stress. And sometimes the only effective response to pure evil is just more of the same.

We are, by nature, a nasty species.

Russia and China want their old territories back. How’s that Oder-Neisse line looking these days?

But seriously, enough trolling.

Xi wants Trump to give him the green light on Taiwan like he is giving Putin everything in Ukraine. Xi sees an opportunity to convince a weak, mentally declining American president to accept China’s imminent invasion and possibly even support it.

All it will take is a little flattery and some expensive gifts.

Xi’s latest move tells me the Chinese suspect something like this is going on and they want to position themselves to take advantage of the situation.

This is what happens when you let the business majors take over the government.
