Bloomberg just had an interview with the Chinese Ambassador to the U.S., Cui Tiankai. Regardless of
how one views this situation, just the professionalism exhibited by the Chinese Ambassador in contrast to Trump, and those representing the U.S. is glaring. We are being led by a bunch of buffoons, with the head buffoon sitting in the WH.
Based on Rex Tillerson account of the interaction between Trump and Putin, to me it confirms what my impression is. This administration doesn't know WTF they are doing.
We are being led by very unstable people.
Just unilaterally walking away from the Iran Nuclear Agreement demonstrates what we are dealing with. In fact there was no evidence provided at the time that Iran wasn't complying with its obligations.
Our argument for withdrawal revolved around perceived defects in the deal itself, which involved that parts of the deal were not permanent, though the requirement of Iran NOT to build nuclear weapons was permanent, and that Iran's association with violent parties in the middle east should have been included in the deal.
So because of that, the U.S. trashed the entire deal, demanding that it had to be renegotiated or else.
Under this administration, this is the way we do business?
Is it really any surprise that the situation with NK, Iran, and trade wars up to now have been a complete failure.
The sad situation is, except for talking heads yelling at each other, the media has been extremely deficient reporting what has been happening in this regard. Primarily they summarize the events, but leave much of the details out, leaving it to partisans with obvious bias to push their propaganda and agenda, which doesn't inform, but confuse.
A perfect example of this was when Comey released the letter to the republicans in Congress in 2016. The media immediately paraded every right wing partisan across the various media outlets for days, pushing that lie, that the email investigation had been reopened. That was NOT true, and not only were the television outlets pushing this LIE, but outlets such as the NY Times followed suit.
This is exactly the same distortions that happened during those "wmds", which our illustrious media failed miserably in presenting the facts.
Yesterday, Nancy Pelosi was confronted by Kelly O'Donnell, who was putting the blame of the failure of the infrastructure talks on the Speaker and the Democrats. Pelosi in no uncertain terms put Ms. O'Donnell in her place, by effectively educating her that she was just parroting the administrations talking points, instead of being factual.
This is what we are up against, and it is dangerous and reckless.
