China

Back in the day, before sports salaries got completely out of hand, many and perhaps even most sports writers took the side of the fans in most labor issues. But now all that has changed. All of them are now pro player in any labor dispute. They all knee jerk that way no matter the issue. It's an automated, robotic response. No one is allowed to think critically anymore. Siding with labor is woke and you will get run out of the business pretty quick if you challenge woke orthodoxy. It makes me sad.

Remember that sports journalists are journalists first and then they talk sports. They are all pretty much lefties just like the rest of the media. And they do all walk in lockstep on the issues as you point out. Can somebody point me to one sports journalist that thinks that college athletes should NOT be paid?
 
Well, our State GDP is probably greater than that of Vietnam, the Philippines, Taiwan, and some of the other useful nations we need to surround China (obviously Texas’ GDP does not exceed the GDP of Japan and maybe not S Korea).

Russia would be useful if they can be steered strongly against China. It’s a tough and even dangerous play with Putin in charge. Brezhnev was a dope. Putin is a master strongman diplomat—sort of like Bismarck. If we try to play Putin, Putin might end up playing us. Yeah, I know, if you lie down with the bear you’ll get mauled. Still, with China as the biggest baddest bad guy, I say we take a page from Nixon and try to triangulate Russia against them.

If done carefully, I could go along with some of this. The key is knowing when to stop. The biggest reason the triangulation with China and the Soviet Union ended badly is that we kept it going too long. I think the deals we made with China in the '70s were pretty defensible, because the Soviet Union was a bigger and more dangerous threat. However, instead of backing away from that after the fall of the USSR, we accelerated it to score some cheap labor in the 1990s and 2000s. That was the real screw-up, and it wasn't a partisan thing. Clinton and Bush both did it.
 
This was Jan 23 in Hongqiao -- they are capturing a man from Wuhan at the airport who had a fever

If you remember Max Baucus?
The ex-Senator and ex-Ambassador to China (whose wife was once arrested in DC for assault)
Max Baucus is now a bought and paid for Chinese asset
We have start pointing these people out

In the last week, he gave four interviews to Beijing-run media comparing the Trump Adm's rhetoric on China with McCarthyism and Nazi Germany. Baucus spends his post-political life advising Chinese businesses.

I think these people should be exposed for who they are
Even if you think there "is nothing wrong with it," I would argue the people have a right to know

Now that the virus has cleared the streets and activists have been arrested to never be seen again, China has changed their laws so they can lower the boom on Hong Kong.
I have no idea what the rest of the 21st century will look like, but the Chinese Commies destroying HK has to be one of the low points to date

And after they take over Hong Kong, you know what comes next, Taiwan, and then the stuff hits the fan (unless maybe Biden is President).
