Yeah. I guess Kissinger would definitely be watching the current events in dismay, with WTF all over his big head. In the US, nobody actually listens to old men like him now. But in China, senior statesmen like them would always be respected or even revered, no matter how old they become. Sigh......

Pretty sure they can mount Kissingers’ eyes on a starlink satellite or something to keep up with the times.

In a not-so-subtle Telegram post, Medvedev calls the US "the last refuge for senile people":

He is right. The US is ruled by a bunch of senile people: Biden is 79 yo, Pelosi is 81, McConnell is 80, Schumer is 71.

By its own account, the US congress is getting older and older:

I feel sad, I truly do. No, really.

I regularly quoted Madeline Albright regarding Iraqi children who died as a result of America sanctions, that it was "worth it." I feel like we'll one day look back at the devastation and carnage Ukraine is suffering and echo Madeline Albright's words.

They're desperately trying to ease rampant inflation.

Honestly, time for China to hike tariffs against US for no other reason than as the ultimate "f*ck you" move

Chinese decision makers are not like Blinken. They don't do "f-u moves" for the sake of screwing with people. They weigh costs and benefits.

To me, stuff like this is a way more effective way of saying "f-u" than paltry sanctions or tariffs. It is pretty much saying that your admin is so pitiful at creating jobs that its supposed arch nemesis is willing to help out.
