It is no longer just “death and taxes”. You can add anti-American media to that.

Does the corrupt MSM ever miss an opportunity to bash America, to bash anything to do with any Republican. They absolutely sicken me.

May the Atlantic staff move to Wuhan.

Permanently.

No loss, and we’d have no regrets.

That’s a really “interesting” theory you’ve got there.

So how exactly, does the US bedding down with Communist China stick a needle in the globalist’s eye?

This guy is a leftist buffoon and a hack. I do not doubt China’s bribe money runs deep with this guy.

Beinart’s labored concern:

But a cold war with China threatens more than American competitiveness. It threatens American liberty. At the dawn of the Cold War with the Soviet Union, Harry Truman created the Federal Employee Loyalty Program, which authorized the FBI to expel leftists from the federal bureaucracy. Later that year, his attorney general published a list of “subversive” organizations, forcing many of them to close, and the FBI began deporting politically suspect immigrants.
Another cold war could again threaten the rights of Americans suspected of sympathy for the enemy. Except that this time, the victims will likely be of Chinese descent. From the 1885 massacre of Chinese railroad workers at Rock Springs, Wyoming, to the Japanese internment during World War II to the murder of Vincent Chin by a laid-off autoworker during the panic over Japanese economic competition in the 1980s, the United States has a long history of anti-Asian bigotry, especially during periods of conflict with Asian governments.

I can’t resist. From the Peter Beinart Wikipedia article:

“Beinart is the author of the book The Good Fight: Why Liberals—and Only Liberals—Can Win the War on Terror and Make America Great Again, published in 2006. Drawing upon the work of the mid-century American theologian Reinhold Niebuhr, Beinart argues that, paradoxically, the only way for America to distinguish itself from the predatory imperial powers of the past is to acknowledge its own capacity for evil.”

Why would we bother to read anything this idiot writes. He hates America. He has somehow managed to find the connection between the imperial powers of the past and today’s terrorists hiding in caves in the desert. Somehow I missed that. Such is the basis of his political philosophy.

No thanks.

The only thing I am getting is that the leftist author is taking the word of a Chinese American who works for the Rand Corporation, who spouts ridiculous Chinese government propaganda. I would bet, that you can find her bribed too.

They poisoned our kids with lead laden toys and we didn’t break with the PRCs.
They poisoned our families with poisoned sheet rock after Katrina and we didn’t break with the PRCs.
They poisoned our pets with poisoned pet food and we didn’t break with the PRCs.
NOW they have poisoned our entire nation with some bio weapon and we should still not break with the PRCs???
I guess the atlantic has never heard of Einstein!

"Chinese bribe money runs deep."

The abbreviation for Bat Soup is BS~

Novel coronavirus cases could have been reduced by 95 percent had China responded to the outbreak just three weeks earlier than it did, a March 13 study by the University of Southampton has found.

Neither will give her any info, so she notified the FBI. they have all been pretty apathetic to her. Amazing

They are too busy scouring the countryside for whistleblowers who claim Trump said something on a call with Ukrainians.

And his article is purely based on a China Stooge from the RAND Corp, which is a think tank that donates 91% to democrats. https://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2011/03/03/think-tank-employees-tend-to-support-democrats

China is sending contaminated (with Covid-19) test kits around the world, and used face masks.

Also, hand sanitizer bottles with cute pics of Panda bears and Chinese writing probably saying, “Use this and die Yankees!”
