The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Nope, not "PUTIN!" so no individual to fixate hate on. Blue States like China and XI - get different treatment.

aol.com - Chinese spy balloon gathered intelligence

"The Chinese spy balloon that flew across the U.S. was able to gather intelligence from several sensitive American military sites, despite the Biden administration's efforts to block it from doing so, according to two current senior U.S. officials and one former senior administration official"

Here's to the 90's. "THE DOW IS UP! I GOT ME AN I.T JOB!!!"....while China "stole" so many military secrets.....and people like Charlie Trie and Mr Huang - on camera- at dinner with President Clinton raised for their soulmates in America.

Here's to the Liberals and NeoCons, who for 2 decades shouted "Isolation! Protectionism!" at anyone who asked - why enrich China? Sure, the 401K Liberals wanted earnings per share. Then-Wall-Street-Journal NeoCons wanted corporate profits too, and Liberals LOVED empowering China.

So today......

Middle Class Russians, innocents - can't eat a Big Mac.

But China - nevermind their genocide of Uyghurs (sadly, they didn't become fashion props for the Left like "save Darfur")........ continue to get the Clintonian Permanent Normalized Trade Relations and World Trade Organization deal.

It is my hope that President XI helps Putin as much as he can.

China can be a catalyst towards ending European aggression against humanity once and for all, but it will not be a straight line on the way there.

In the meantime, keep the Americans tribal, divided, and whining about pronouns. I hope the side of good - - keeps its eyes on the prize.
