Elbridge Colby is pushing Republicans to forget Ukraine & focus on China, & they’re listening: Colby is Tucker’s New Favorite Foreign Policy Thinker

[basquebromance]

We invaded Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan, and each time we survived the consequences of the war because we had the global monetary reserve currency. Today's war with Russia and China is not like those wars

China is replicating Reagans approach of weakening and bankrupting the U.S by getting them to spend billions on this war. They are able to use Russia to achieve it, well played by them. This is why Europe has to be more committed to this fight.

Europe isn't getting involved in any stupid fight here. We blew any co-operation with all of our other useless wars.

Europe must get involved, their survival depends on a weakened Russia.

Stupid comment...

US is taking the second largest army in the world to its knees with 6 weeks worth of Iraq money.. Bang for buck this makes sense...

China are looking and they are backing the fuck up... China is far more interested in gutting a weakened Russia that looking at the US...

China's real fear with US is CPTPP... US signs that and China has a load more troubles...

If Trump didn't concede ground to China on his third day then US would be in a far better position...

Trump was the most pro China President in US history and they are the results of his actions...

China wants EVERYONE weakened. They enjoy this almost as much as when Bush went into the M.E and China was free to quietly steal U.S IP and expand their influence.

Of course the U.S must support Ukraine, but Europe must step up as well.

Ukraine is enjoying that money we send them....to bad none of it goes to their military

So Russia has been stalled in their efforts out of the goodness in their hearts?

It's certainly not going to the people. Commercials on people that have become impoverished including many elderly Jewish where donations are requested. The globalists have made the world more dangerous.

I think Americans should recognize china as the number one enemy of America

But why does that mean we have to ignore putin running roughshod over ukraine?

Brcause a win for russia is a win for china too

Ummmm Vietnam lead directly to the financial issues of the early 80s so…

China is flexing it's muscles over Taiwan and our (former) NATO allies like France don't seem interested in defending U.S. interests. Never mind what Colby is thinking, what the hell is Biden thinking.

CPTPP (formally TPP) was the way to go... It would have created the largest trading block in the world with US as the defacto head.
It would have squeezed not only China but all the BRIC countries.
The aim was to allow other lower worker cost countries like Vietnam and Indonesia to have free trade with US while US could impose equal worker rights, health and safety laws, environmental laws, competition laws... This would make the US worker have a far fairer playing field against these countries...

China at the moment not only abuse IP laws but also use their government resources to manipulate markets like they did with Steel... One of Hillary last jobs as SOS was to goto Australia to control the amount of Iron Ore sent from TPP to China (Probably to redirect to US steel mills)...

TPP was about playing chess, this why it had support from both sides of the house. TPP was actually set up by the Bush Admin. The biggest problem in the US was to keep the major US lobbyists from getting too much control.

Millions spent by 487 organizations to influence TPP outcome - OpenSecrets News

For interest groups that sought to influence Washington’s thinking on the massive trade package set to bind together 40 percent…

They were trying their best too influence it to suit corporations over the worker.

The basic idea was to have a kind of EU lite (ECC) fair trading block where US could invest freely and eventually build up markets in other countries as well. Think how Germany has flourished with the EU while Ireland (a poor entry initially) has also flourished... IT is the win win of good trade for both sides.

Trump unfortunally didn't see that when first came in and pulled out of it... He regretted that later...

Trump says he would rejoin TPP if offered better terms than Obama

The US president tweets confirmation that the US could rejoin the Pacific rim pact, a deal he has described as ‘horrible’
