Visiting with British officials, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo denied that the US had ordered Britain to cut ties with China’s Huawei corporation, but now says that “the entire world” needs to unite against China over Hong Kong, the Uighurs, and the coronavirus.
Pompeo claimed that China exploited coronavirus and had covered up the “preventable” pandemic by using their control over the World Health Organization. Pompeo and other US officials have threatened to make China “pay” over the pandemic.
Pompeo went on to say that unity against China is “the right thing to do” and that Britain was one of the first to accept that as the US position. British officials conceded the Huawei ban was because of US sanctions.
US hostility toward China is cropping up on several issues, including Chinese claims in the South China Sea. Pompeo singled that out as well, saying China is not behaving in keeping with international norms.
We just blame China, we just hate them so much……..but not racist at all.
Nothing exposes the racism, hypocrisy, arrogance and selfishness of capitalism and its backers like a major threat or catastrophe. US oligarchy and the American people are unhinged from reality.
A haplotype is a group of genes within an organism that was inherited together from a single parent. There have been 5 separate haplotypes identified around the world in Covid19. The only country where these 5 haplotypes are present is the USA.
This means that the virus marker can prove where the virus came from. China/Japan is saying the US.
This worldwide pandemic will allow us all to compare how different political systems, countries and cultures reacted to the threat. In a year or so, we shall all know how free-market capitalism compares with social-democracies or socialist countries.
Its completely obscene that millions of everyday workers are being laid off by corporations which are in turn receiving trillions in taxpayer funds. Many of these corporations have stashed trillions of dollars away in tax havens and have contributed nothing to the public good. Yet they are being bailed out by corrupt bought and paid for politicians, total abuse of power and completely beyond the law.
Arrest them all and throw them in jail where they belong, if the legal system wont deal with them then we will have too.
Piss off you pompous belligerent hypocrite.
Mr. we lie, we cheat, we steal now demands the world to get behind the heavy leaking U.S.S empire….again…… in its crusade…..this time against a great and 5K old civilization.
The usual tactics, arm twisting, threats, possible sanction, exclusion and sabotage will be used against those friends and allies who not right away jump on board.
The 5 and 7 eyes group will be the first to have to go on board, yesterday it was the Brits ( 5 ), today it is Denmark ( 7 )
Make no mistake about it, the US has declared war on China, we are still in foreplay ( preparation ) mode, it started with Obama and accelerates with Trump.
American lying, cheating, stealing is not new–it practically started from when the good “Pilgrims” stepped out on Plymouth rock. And it ain’t gonna stop because its what makes America the Exceptional Nation.
i agree, the tendency goes al the way back to the Conquistador and the Pilgrims.
i can recommend Howard Zinn, A peoples history of the USA.
Columbus diary tells it all, “he was greeted by the natives with open arms and gifts, the natives where very warm, smiling, cheerful and happy to share, the natives showed no hostility”.
Columbus first thoughts where, how few of his men he will need to exploit and take the natives in possession.
Lying, cheating and stealing is what they call culture, and there are a few other countries that claim to share this with the US.
The dollar is collapsing, the country is bankrupt, you know what happens next….
US in Ukraine declared war on Russia, they funded neo Nazi’s in Kiev to overthrow a freely elected government and then went about blaming Russia for the destabilisation. As we know from past experience, Washington will pursue its strategy relentlessly while shrugging off public opinion, international law or the condemnation of adversaries and allies alike.
The pattern, of course, is unmistakable. It begins with sanctimonious finger-wagging, economic sanctions and incendiary rhetoric, and quickly escalates into stealth bombings, drone attacks, unlawful detention and torture, massive destruction of civilian infrastructure, millions of fleeing refugees, decimated towns and cities, death squads, wholesale human carnage, vast environmental devastation, and the steady slide into failed state anarchy; all of which is accompanied by the repetition of state propaganda spewed from every corporate bullhorn in the western media.
After all isnt this how it happened in Iraq, Libya, Afganistan, Syria etc etc etc And how it is happening in China.
The world needs to unite against Pompeo!
