A Chinese Embassy spokesman said his country would investigate the U.S. charges.

Maybe the USSA could take a lesson from this. China doesn’t care what the UN says, it just does what it thinks is in its best interest.

Maybe if we actually had leaders in this country that were concerned about the best long-term interests of this country, we would stop caring what the UN says, too.

US out of the UN and UN out of the US.

I don’t hold out much hope. Americans have decided that national suicide is the path to tread. At least my ammunition has value for the coming fun times.

Attention China: Prepare for a merciless telepromptering.


Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
