    There's a saying:

    'Fool me once, shame on you.' Fool me twice, shame on me'.

    I can't believe anything coming out of our government. Not once have they or Britain ever shown proof of what they accuse others of doing. Right now Trump is doing the same as Obama did before leaving office. Obama stole Russian embassy property to make sure that Trump would not better relations with Russia. Is Trump closing the consulate to make sure that if he loses the election, Biden wouldn't be able to better relations with China? Who knows?

    Maybe it's because China is buying oil and gas from Russia rather than from the US. Not that I trust China though, since they have stolen intellectual property even before all this demonizing started. Again, who knows?

    Another thing I can't understand is that according to what I read, China now has a vaccine. Is Trump trying to give the illusion that it was stolen from the US, in the same way Britain tried to blame Russia for the same thing? According to Russian news, they have four vaccines that have been tested without any side affects. Putin also said they will give out vaccines free of charge to foreign countries. Maybe China said the same thing - that would certainly freak out our pharmaceutical companies.

    Contacts with Russians during an election campaign is not unusual or illegal. Wikileaks contacted Roger Stone, to tell them that they were about to dump the hacked Hillary Clinton documents. This was not just a heads up. This was a request for the Trump Administration to support the issue of the hacking. The fact that the documents released were DNC's emails, and not the Hillary Clinton Campaign. After Stone refused to help them, they tried to get Donald Trump Jr to help they also wanted his father's tax records. Jr. refused. The proof is the fact that to date the missing Hillary Clinton emails have still not been published. Further, contrary to what the article tries to imply, there is no proven link between Russia and the Wikileaks. The organization that hacked the DNC server was in the US known as Crowdstrike. The strange thing is that Crowdstrike server ended up in Ukraine, and not Russia.

    So, you still have nothing. Additionally, the BBC backed the fake Steel dossier. They, like NYT has still not corrected the fake narrative. In other words, they are not credible on this issue.

    Let's guess what they were burning in the courtyard.....
    BLM pamphlets
    Stolen Intellectual property
    Stolen Covid Vaccine or other Scientific Research
    Biden's next speech

    Just heard on the news that the Chinese may not leave the consulate. This could get interesting.

    Trump is the only thing standing between the Deep State and its bloodlust for World War III.

    Well sure. But treating HK like the rest of China is a lot easier than starting a war.

    There wont be a war with China and the US over human rights violations but rather over minerals found only in Central Africa. That is the new Middle East.

    Ah but nuclear winter should balance global warming as the two nonsense worries busily compete in the chicken little marketplace.

    Seems correct

    https://www.yahoo.com/news/despite-u-demand-china-refuses-175823625.html

    OTOH, if somebody told me to get out of Houston during a pandemic in the heat of the summer, I'd jump at it...

    Today is the "deadline", but everybody knows Trump and deadlines don't really mean that much...

    The eighties worried about nuclear war too. One more terracide that never happened and the Chinese have no ICBMs of which I am aware.

    Death awaits all of us so live while you can and don’t waste it in fear and hiding. It dishonors life! And after life one may be called upon to answer how you invested it and I suspect hiding from c-19 will not be a good answer.

    they have plenty icbm search df41, df31, df5, they been launch satellite to space since 70s. however if tension is high, they likely build a thousand more nuke just in case. they had nuke since 62, currently their doctrine is min deterrence.
    also if there is nuclear war, likely russia will get involve too, its the idea that when two nuclear power go against each other, they must also destroy the 3rd power for fear of them become the dominate one. in this case if China-US go nuke, US wont leave russia unscathe to take over the power vaccum.

    By separate from China I mean completely separate. No trade. No immigration. No need for a cold war.
