    Tripping over pennies to lose dollars. These turds do not understand soft power and international trade.

      Yup. And by the end of the week China will step in and replace all of that funding.

        And then we’ll be left wondering why we’re being kicked out of all our overseas bases. And then why the SEA countries are acquiescing to everything China wants and then why Taiwan gives up major concessions like allotting high quality computer parts to China.

        It’s all connected.

      It’s such an easy concept. I can’t figure out if they actually don’t get it because they are so narcissistic and why would anyone appreciate a few million in aid or if they are just playing stupid to posture to their base and be able to do even worse while everyone is distracted.

      I think the later might be more accurate and I’m really curious what else I am missing.
