...the truth in it is that "they" are no different, in affect; "Americans" and "Chinese", the rest of us, (who are excluded, not "them" as they define it), would be exploited or subjugated under their absolute power, jointly or severally.
If we are talking conspiracies, "Nations" at war, there is something bigger than this going on. The "elite" who are they?
Indeed money talks; money bigger than Nations themselves. And in this power one hopes that good intentions are not corrupted, as the world has changed, as Individuals, as Peoples, demonstrating the willingness (and the capacity) to "flatten the curve"; is it that "they" are expecting "us" to show the same willingness to do the same in the future? I ask, who profits from the trillions and trillions that are being spent in the aftermath; and to what end? I hope some good will come out of this, that in general the money is well spent, the debt of it well managed, our confidence in ourselves, as Humanity restored; this power directed against 'real' enemies like climate change. We shall see.
I am not really talking about conspiracies, however they do exist. the biggest one gaining traction is the one that points the finger at Chy-na. I'm talking about the growing anti Chyna sentiment. It is growing at a very fast past, faster than Chy-na Virus.
What I am talking about is holding Chy-na accountable for what they did because even if there isn't a conspiracy, the friggin Chy-na government tried to cover up their problem and I remember these CCP arseholes calling Australia racist for shutting the borders of Australia to Chy-na.
The bastards think it's all a conspiracy against them and now they are squarely responsible for spreading this disease to the world and destroying the global economy. THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE. It's time they accept that.
So now, what we need to do is review our relationship with this country. make it 10 times harder for them to invest in our country. They make it impossible for us to invest in their country.
No one likes the Chy-nese CCP. Why don't they seem to have any friends. One very clear example.
Australia and US had the Vietnam War. In the end the VC won that war. But know, the Vietnamese Government has excellent relations with both US and Australia, They even participate in our coalition against Chy-na in the South Chy-na Sea. The Vietnamese have opened their border and trade with us. And now we even have memorials to our soldiers in Vietnam. That was never allowed before.
So ask the queation. Why do ALL of Chy-na's neighbors hate Chy-na except for North Korea? Why is even Vietnam now best pals with the USA and Australia when we use to kill each other?
Why is Vietnam today pretty much a US and Australian ally? Why do the Vietnamese hate Chy-na?
