    Has China Won?

    It's terrible. Does the US have a strategy that will address it other than efforts to further deteriorate our relationship? Do you really think Trump cares about the Uighers? For years Trump continued to back Saudi Arabia's genocidal bombing civilians in Yemen which has produced even worse...

    Has China Won?

    The China haters here will get lots of red meat thrown to them next week as Trump tries to excuse his failures by blaming the Chinese, even for his killing so many American's by continuing to botch controlling the virus. Hyping foreign threats goes goes back millennia and leads to wars. Most...

    US elections?

    A democracy is more representative when more people vote. In states with mail in voting, more people vote. If a party is a minority party, then it will work hard to restrict voting from groups that might vote against them.

    US elections?

    Voting in Washington state is 100% by mail. Ballots are postage free or they can be dropped off in local ballot boxes. Each ballot is checked against a signature on file and other checks. Voter fraud is an unknown issue here even in very close races. What is worrisome is that some of the...

    US elections?

    Should we or could we get a foreign country to monitor our elections? It used to be that the US set the gold standard for honest, democratic elections. We helped monitor other countries. Since 2016, however, Trump has worked hard to undermine trust and honesty in US elections. The latest is...

    Has China Won?

    Agreed. The point of interest for me was how we deal with China when we do not have a strategy for doing so. There’s an interesting book, Destined for War, by the former head of Harvard's Kennedy School that examines how established powers deal with rising powers challenging them. More often...

    Has China Won?

    Before this gets out of hand....let's be clear about our views. Yes, China is not suppressing just Uighers, there's the Tibetans, Mongolians, Hong Kongers and perhaps a shot at the Taiwanese. It's ugly and I've seen if first hand in Kashgar, Hong Kong, and Tibet. At the same time China has...

    Here we go. The real fun starts this week. Trump is planning a massive ad buy just before the Dem's convention which will feature Kaisich and other Republicans supporting Biden. Yikes. Think of the ads we will be inundated with...

    Has China Won?

    Hardly a complete picture of China and few Chinese would agree with it. US history is one of genocide and periods of ugliness (even in Tulsa) but we focus on the good parts to outweigh them.

    Land hurricanes?

    Really? New phrase for me. No warning and massive damage in Iowa. https://www.usnews.com/news/news/articles/2020-08-15/forecasters-look-to-learn-from-deadly-midwest-wind-storm But with climate change expect more of them and a lot more damage to the food supply. Not addressing climate change...
