US reputation in tatters with the Trumpvirus

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/apr/12/us-global-reputation-rock-bottom-donald-trump-coronavirus

No question about it, accepting aid from China and Russia is making America look weak...a propaganda bonanza for both China and Putin's Russia..

Also mystifying is why the Americans are advertising how their navy is weak ened with many warships affected by Corvod 19...you won;t hear Russia or China giving away how vulnerable their military is...

Brycy logic...

Mike Tyson's hamstring is stiff. I had better  sucker punch him now before the window of opportunity closes.

Good luck with that.

""" The furious reaction in Germany after 200,000 protective masks destined for Berlin mysteriously went missing in Thailand and were allegedly redirected to the US is a case in point. There is no solid proof Trump approved the heist. But it’s the sort of thing he would do – or so people believe."""

"Europeans were already outraged by Trump’s reported efforts to acquire monopoly rights to a coronavirus vaccine under development in Germany."

This really shows the type of person Trump is. First he steals masks from Germany by paying more money at the last moment, and then he tries to get a monopoly of the vaccine so he can sell it to countries around the world. 

He is not a capitalist that wants competition. He wants global US monopolies rife with corruption. 

Stop buying everything in China and start making it in the U.K. again.

Until of course they discover that the local product costs 2 bucks more than the Chinese one, then everyone buys China again.

The East is still much cheaper to manufacture. A smarter approach is to spread the risk across multiple suppliers/countries. 

 If you use one supplier you will always be constrained to their supply chain. Best to have multiple suppliers and play them off against each other. 

Allowing China to have a monopoly has given them too much control. 

My word can these clowns be more absurd I ask myself!!!!

Hahahahahaha. 

Look you dumbasses the USA has 20 aircraft carriers for example and China has two. 

The USA Navy is so superior  nobody is a threat. You clowns talking about US weakness have no clue whatsoever. The USA is the world's sole super power dunce. Bwahahahaha the drivel just keeps gushing out. 

The Guardian is a marxist globalist rag but should know its the Wuhan Virus. 

By the way those thinking the USA is doing so badly should look at the Worldometer and take a look at the Wuhan Virus deaths per million people column. Dispite being the world's greatest travel destination the deaths per million people is lower than a lot of countries.

Take out New York City run by Communist De Blouse io and it would be amongst the lowest in the world. 

Who knows how many US infections stem from New York. 

The Guardian being a communist rag will always support communist China and hate  America and Trump. 

They are also fascist bigots. After a mass killing in the UK I dared to criticize in a mild way the Muslim jihadists and was banned. The Guardian are open border globalists who hate Brexit. They are losers. 

Hence our board communist sharkredvirus  using them as a source. 

Nah....the US is fine. The country’s death rate per million pop excluding NY state is about the same as Germany. NY a portal to the world has done very badly....but the Democratic mayor is a mess and the Democratic governor is all talk and no action.

If I was the Guardian I would worry about the U.K. death rate per million pop which is 5 times higher than Germany....pluck the virus out of your own eye, before you show your concern for others as it were.

Chancellor to kick off week-long China tour

The Chancellor is to set out plans to foster a new era in UK-China relations as he launches a concerted bid to deepen ties with the world’s second largest economy.

Starting this weekend he will embark on a week-long tour that is set to encompass thousands of miles across China and comes after a period of turbulence in Asian stock markets.

The Chancellor will argue that far from backing away from China after the events of the summer, Britain aims to increase cooperation and understanding between the two countries and open up billions of pounds of potential opportunities between what remains the world’s fastest growing major economy and the UK.

It also continues the Chancellor’s longstanding drive to forge greater links with the Asia-Pacific region, which saw the UK become the first western member of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank only a few months ago.

Etc, etc, etc........ you are welcome to read the rest of the piece. 

Not Africa.....Mexico, Taiwan, S Korea, Vietnam, India etc. Walmart built China it could build India.

Shark, 

Holy shyte guy.

Just get Cera's email address and let him edit your posts before you put them up.

On second thoughts, I doubt there's enough red ink in the word...and backspace buttons are just not durable enough either.

There is another issue that SB and Brycy adores,  That is that China is a Communist Party Dictatorship with religious people being excluded form any Government functioning,   That makes China earning their full support.  

The fact is what makes the virus the Trumpvirus,   That comes straight from the fake news agencies they so adore.

Another fact is - what was Obama's biggest achievement when he was President?   The major achievement he orchestrated was to turn the FBI into the USA version of the KGB. It became an organization to be used to spy on potential opponents - which some members think is acceptable and according to the IG report there were 28 FISA cases without any justification whatsoever,   The situation is there is nothing preventing the FBI to spy on all Americans,   A few years ago there was an uproar when it came out that the CIA and FBI under Obama spied on everybody - inclusive of Western European leaders and most Americans and that remains the case even today.   That can only stop if the structures developed by the Obama FBI and CIA are changed to ensure that the two institutions function as protecting US citizens are  restored,  The FBI and CIA, as well as the Justice Department - like in SA  became protectors of the corrupt entities in Government and allowed them to get away with billions.             

Who gained from the Obama Trade deal - the monopolies that SB mentioned,  The fact is that the monopolies are in the main in the digital field and in the commercial field.  The Monopolies use cheap labour and lack of unionized industrial action to benefit themselves - while the people in America got poorer and poorer.

The third and fourth achievements were equally disastrous - no upgrading of infrastructure in the USA and no updating of the equipment t o the army to defend the USA - while forcing the country to remain in the wars started by Bush and his crony Obama,  Birds of a feather flock together,   They are both from the swamp - known in the USA as the political establishment in Washington.  There was no difference between the Republican and  Democrat Establishments - both groups were equally corrupt and licentious.             

That makes the present propaganda so crazy,  The fact is that the monopolists and some Billionaires have more in common with the Communist Regime in China than they have in the interests of and to the USA.   One can describe this as near to treason as possible  against Democracy.  That is what the Socialists wants in the USA - a Communist Socialist Dictatorship.  Once they have achieved that the EU will follow fast.

Mike,

The spying was planned during Clinton's era, implemented during Bush's time and brushed under the rug by Obama. Trump has been warned off and you won't see him touch the issue either.

But then, don't tell me China aren't/won't do the exact same or worse. Let's not forget, 5g is theirs atm. They are also leading the race in quantum computing.

In layman's terms, they'll have access to ALL the data as well as the type of hardware which renders all encryption, quantum encryption aside, useless.

Now doesn't that sound like a perfect storm. 

Almost as th ough the only way out is to kiss our freedom goodbye.

Convenient, no?

SB

If you cannot read English and understand what I wrote you are indeed a nutcase,  In the above I wrote not a word about religion.   I wrote about monopolies and how they operate in the USA.  I wrote about the Chinese issue and the extensive interests of the monopolists to co-operate with China.  

If you cannot understand how the issues I raised came through in the media and how the leftists and there billionaire masters handle things  there s nothing one can do to help you.

You know nothing about SA History and political development either,.   When the English in the Boer War destroyed the farms and sent the women and children into concentration camps the war ended with virtually all Afrikaans farmers being reduced to abject poverty.  They went into the cities like Johannesburg, Cape Town and in Durban to find menial work,  The fact is they mostly joined the Communist Run Trade Unions and violence erupted in 1914 and 1921 in Johannesbu rg that had nasty political consequences,   In the 1924 election the National Party and Labour Party formed an Alliance Government.  Many of the Communist Afrikaans speakers in the Labour Party was in their youth Communist Party members and became prominent in Politics of the National Party after 1924.   Some were Ministers and others in senior positions in the NP cabinet.   For instance in the Free State the Nationalists appointed Sand Du Plessis - a Communist from way back as Administrator,   Some remained as communists - like Bram Fischer.

Be is as it may the Nationalists never were a right wing capitalist party,  All their economic politics were left wing socialism and that is a fact.  I once had a long talk with Rolley Arenstein - a grandnephew of Marx - who was banned as a Communist for the longest time ever in SA,  He claimed that the USSR used communism as a cover for the fact that they were a dictatorship - he was a theoretical ardent Communists and he explained to me how  some Nationalist policies were developed within a framework laid down by the Communists in 1914 - even before they took power in Russia,   In dealing with it what became clear to me was that the Nationalists were indeed de facto leftist socialists - look at Eskom, Sasol, Iscor and about 700 other companies who were state mechanisms operating in SA.

When it comes to capitalism - they realized the danger for SA in the socialist environment they were leaving behind  and insisted on some safeguards to be provided for in the Constitution.  That left them as major socialists  and the ANC as slightly lesser so.

The National Party was much like the Democrats before the 1960's in the USA and were strictly racist in their approach.  

I never did anything you wrote above and your interpretation of what I wrote is scandalous BS. What I wrote was what happened.  I was for instance warned by a person about a bomb attack on the building where I was working and informed the Police through one of their Security Agents of the warning.   They did bugger all about it  and that is a fact - the bomb attack took place the next week.  I never conspired with anyone on anything - where you get that from is total BS.   One has to accept that your mind is totally pissed by now.                  

Shark, you should be paying school fees for this lesson that you are receiving.

Hahahaha. And shortly after I was telling Sharkbok about the Dems being in charge of the media complex, I read this following a tweet from John Solomon:

Should taxpayers bail out the news media?

Some Democrats want to use coronavirus bailout money to help news organizations. You weigh in.

A group of Democratic senators last week proposed using the next round of coronavirus stimulus money to help struggling local news outlets.

"Local news is in a state of crisis that has only been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic," the senators wrote in a letter to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer and the Senate Appropriations Committee. 

The audacity of these fckers knows no end. 

Geez, Ou Maaikie. That's all I can say.

I am not calling them Communists - I am calling them brainwashed idiots.   They are fed so much BS every day that they do not know what the end result would be.  In any event surveys in the USA indicated that 40% of the US voters are Commies anyway - years of brainwashing paid off.  

It is very unwise for you to express opinions on anything - you have  no idea about what really is going on and what is the object of the present brainwashing campaigns.   The people will find out too late what they are going to endure in future - and when they do they would be unable to do anything about it.

The fact is that the EU is a total wreck anyway and with the USA  taken over by the Commies - the EU will have two choices - go into alliance with Russia or go Communist themselves.   

I will not see the final outcome - but you will - so be careful what you wish for.

It is not raining, but it is raining? Uh?  Total gibberish...

Do you even have a brain, something, anything that could be brainwashed?

Like the US really cares what an ANC Comrade thinks... Or Europe concerned what a primitive "thinks" for that matter. These are some of the best places in the world.  The main issue is ensuring that the third-world is blocked at the borders to prevent them getting in. 

Happy Idiot Day to you.   I pointed out what brainwashing did  to you an millions others and I said what I believe is on the cards in future,   

Do you think that borders mean anything for the political BSter  you support?   They will import people into countries to help  them in taking over control,   The fact is they want to destroy the  western democratic culture and you will have to get you home on a lease basis from Government and if you show any discontent you will be kicked out - that apparently is the future you are looking out for,   It will be in within 10 years.   The  housing control officer that will allocate  homes will be from China.  

I will not be around - but you can enjoy the miserable conditions lying in wait in future.    

Folks we have to remember that Rooiarse, sharkvirus and that prick down on those little islands all have the following issues;

They are always incorrect.

They are always left of left.

They are always anti-PDT.

They are always sprouting BS.

They are always posting BS.

These folks just thrive in S..t.

These folks just live in it.

Have mercy for they know not what they do, say or post.

The shit that sharkvirus posts must be done while he is under his constant "FIX".

I just wanted to add the following about how cheap products made in China are possible.

A short while back we did a remodel of our kitchen and replaces all our cupboards and tops.

The company rep who did the measuring and design was a young lady from Hong Kong who works in Canada on contract to this company.

She had some great ideas and very experienced in her role.

On the due date, the crew arrived with the material to convert and complete the upgrade.

The guy in charge was the only person who was able to communicate in English and after the installation was completed and they were cleaning up we had a side chat and this is what he told us.

He loves Canada and wants to apply for permanent status because in Canada he was paid $7.50 an hour and only had to work 48 hours per week. Which is also below the minimum hourly wage paid in Canada and over the hour workweek allowed.

They are all contract workers for this company and are allowed to work in the country on a six-month contract.

In China, he worked in a factory hundreds of miles from his family that produced countertops in various materials. The staff were all housed in a camp type compound and worked long hours seven days a week with meals supplied.

A train ticket was supplied by the company to go home over the Chinese New Year for a period of 14 days.

For that work, he was paid $1.00 a day plus his family was paid the same back home.  $2.00 a day was his total income.

We were shocked to hear just how badly these workers are treated and reimbursed for their labor.

Now I am not suggesting that all Chinese companies operate the same but it sure is a glimpse of just how badly the situation is for many workers/families in China plus the level to which some or most are exploited. 

We have since done our best to avoid purchasing anything made in China even though we have to pay a higher price for whatever we are purchasing.

Needless to say no Apple products in our home.
