    Yeah, and this all just happened to come up now.

    The U.S. didn’t care about the consequences of installing many puppet regimes for our economic interests, so you’re pretty naive to think foreign actors will somehow be any more moral today.

    What could possibly go wrong?

    Then, again, it wouldn't surprise me if the liberals made sudden notable progress just before then.
    If not the MSM will insist they have.

    That was before we had someone in the White House who is at China's beck and call.

    Of course this wouldn't be a problem if Democrats hadn't spent the past couple of decades destroying our domestic manufacturing industry which has forced us to depend primarily on imports for a wide variety of goods.
