But the U.S. is only focused on destroying others. That is all. 16 Jerzy - SilverSetFilms Jerzy - SilverSetFilms 3 days ago One thing is to throw insults, provocations and sanctions, another is to lose to China in every field and aspect. Now is coming out stupid with all US has ever said and done. I'm sure China would be thrilled with the idea of co-operation. 12 BenK BenK 1 day ago The return of investment of a trillion spent in Afghanistan is appallingly sad for a country takes pride in capitalism. Maybe the military should hire more economists than military strategists. 4 Debra Legorreta Debra Legorreta 4 days ago Sachs' calling Zbigniew Brzezinski's idea (starting at minute 2:02) of pushing the Russians into Afghanistan "a typical hairbrained CIA scheme..." was priceless. Not sure Mika will be very happy to see her dead dad disparaged. LOL. 12 Jon Snow Jon Snow 3 days ago Dr. Sachs is a true national treasure: someone who is kind, knowledgeable, wise and with conscience within. 👍 well said, Dr. Sachs! 23 Alex Puglise Alex Puglise 3 days ago To the dude talking about Xingxiang, I suggest that he reads Ajit Singh's article in the Grayzone 21 Debra Legorreta Debra Legorreta 4 days ago (edited) The way the money was divvied up in Afghanistan (starting at minute 3:31) is a lot like the way the "infrastructure bill," just passed by Congress, will be divvied up here in the US: less than 2% will go to infrastructure, the rest will go to a variety of pork, privatization projects, and graft . . . It's not just foreign policy that's a debacle; domestic policy is a debacle as well. 16 Fernando Esteban Fernando Esteban 1 day ago Perhaps the Chinese should lead all talks by asking the US about Detroit, wealth gap, and racial discord.... But they're too polite. 9 Leon Leon 4 days ago All different of drugs are made by China for different medical purpose, China government doesn't export the drugs officially, all of the drugs in US are imported by US citizens voluntarily.
