Muammar Gaddafi plan designed to provide the Francophone African Countries with an alternative to the French franc (CFA) was his downfall...he was alone tho.
He declared himself King of Africa and that itself a threat. no one reveal internal lobbies but certain things like FIFA easy to observe. Arab consensus against his antics was firm.

Roughly 10 years ago, there was a big stink in the American media about lead contaminated Jewelry from Claire's, lead contaminated toys, Formaldehyde floor boards from Lumber Liquidators, H2S-off gassing Katrina rebuilding drywall etc.

This was all heralded as "proof" of crap Chinese quality, or "China trying to kill us". etc.

The whole time I thought, "This is just passing the buck!" 90% of the blame should go to the American companies. You are telling me that executives of these big companies are so naive and stupid to think that products they buy a the lowest absolute cost does not have the highest risk of having cut corners somewhere?

Now we have an update on the eye drops situation and the terrible state of the factory in India

So likely there are some forged quality checks here (and in the above examples too), but even then, there needs to be an honest assessment of what you are doing Stateside to protect people.

At the risk of continuing this forum's pastime of dogpiling onto India:

This article was from 2014! So even then it is known that India does not have the best practices when it comes to drug manufacturing. However, I think you have to cut them some slack. They are a poor country, If they don't cut corners, the people get no drugs at all. They don't get the drugs, they will die anyway in some cases.

So the US government, knowing full well of this issue, has this as a solution:

Truly this is a sad state of affairs. These elected officials, supposedly serving your interests, do nothing but make the situation worse and then blame others. Absolutely no accountability. It is disgusting.
In China, the CEO of the company or the quality control team would have been executed and I do think heads should roll. Imagine going blind because some idiot in an Indian factory uses the same hand he wipes his ass with, to handle eye drops.
The Australian Intel Chief is now pounding about this lmao.

He has given 2 potential solutions.

1) US must pool resources with UK/AUS to defeat China in Tech.

2) Start mass hiring of Chinese and Russian scientists to stifle China.

The only way Australia is going to able to do that is when it becomes a Chinese autonomous region where Asians aren’t treated as second class citizens and where the society doesn’t impose an “all of society” war against Chinese.

It’s easy to say shit but to do it is not so easy, especially against nations that are United and trust me when I say, these 5eyes are far from United and quite frankly far from ready to actually fight

Why? And how come? Is Ferrari still owns by FIAT and under the stewardship of Luca something, the person who ran Ferrari during the heydays of Michael Shumachers dominance in Formula 1?

Extrenely spicy. Unfortunately, can't trust the le French.

Anyways, always funny seeing Noah losing his marbles over the EU not being a 100% US lapdog

Noah Barkin is probably just a CIA shrill and not a real reporter.

A journalist would just report the news. Noah Barkin seems more interested in reporting his own views about things, which happen to read like boilerplate US foreign diplomatic service bs.

When you say, can't trust the French, what do you mean by that?

Do you mean the Americans cannot trust the French, or the Chinese cannot trust the French?

Personally speaking, I do no believe foreign relations should be based on cynicism.

For if it is, then sooner or later, gotta blow up them pipelines!!

:D
