"FOX and TRUMP Building Blame against China.
Should China apply the Bush Doctrine?
......................
The Bush Doctrine
Pre-emptive strikes
Bush addressed the cadets at the U.S. Military Academy (West Point) on June 1, 2002, and made clear the role pre-emptive war would play in the future of American foreign policy and national defense:
We cannot defend America and our friends by hoping for the best. We cannot put our faith in the word of tyrants, who solemnly sign non-proliferation treaties, and then systemically break them. If we wait for threats to fully materialize, we will have waited too long—Our security will require transforming the military you will lead—a military that must be ready to strike at a moment's notice in any dark corner of the world. And our security will require all Americans to be forward-looking and resolute, to be ready for preemptive action when necessary to defend our liberty and to defend our lives.
The stance of the Bush administration was that the harsh measures to spread the democracy worldwide are inevitable and efficacious, in which for instance, liberating Iraq will plant democracy in the area and enable it to flourish in the rest of the Middle East.[36]
Two distinct schools of thought arose in the Bush Administration regarding how to handle countries such as Iraq, Iran, and North Korea (the so-called "Axis of Evil"[37] states). Secretary of State Colin Powell and National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice, as well as U.S. Department of State specialists, argued for what was essentially the continuation of existing U.S. foreign policy. These policies, developed after the Cold War, sought to establish a multilateral consensus for action (which would likely take the form of increasingly harsh sanctions against the problem states, summarized as the policy of containment). The opposing view, argued by Vice President Dick Cheney, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, and a number of influential Department of Defense policy makers like Paul Wolfowitz and Richard Perle, held that direct and unilateral action was both possible and justified and that America should embrace the opportunities for democracy and security offered by its position as sole remaining superpower.
Say, China levels Vegas, Tel Aviv and Seattle in first strike?

If they get UN or NATO approval have at 'er, China's economy will come crashing down and change of Chinese Government would be about a month after invasion.

I see, Trump is trying to pass the buck for his sorry excuse for a response to the Covid debacle. Typical. And the Trumpkins think this is just fine. Stupid is as stupid does, eh.

Trump Tells Governors They Can Open States Before May 1
https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-tells-governors-they-can-open-states-before-may-1

Let's hope most do.






Oh what a TANGLED WEBB WE WEAVE when we try to navigate between Trump and others!


Even as some states are defying social distancing orders - other states are making plans TO KEEP CLOSED UP!


Till the rate of Wuhan Pestilence FLATTENS MUCH FURTHER!


Just because "we are flattening the curve" as our media whores like to put it - DOES NOT MEAN WE ARE SAFE YET!


Flattening the curve MERELY MEANS the RATE THE INFECTION IS SPREADING THROUGH SOCIETY IS NOT SPEEDING

UP! THIS DOES NOT equal / NOR IS IT AS GOOD as having the disease GO AWAY!


Having a thousand people per day catch the Wuhan Virus IS MUCH BETTER than having ten thousand people per day catch it


BUT at a THOUSAND PEOPLE INFECTED PER DAY - WE STILL AINT SAFE!

So, its ultimately up to the individual states as to what they do and when they do it.




AND THAT IS THE POINT THAT LIE-beral news media HAS BEEN TRYING TO AVOID!


States rights are ill defined and pen to interpretation as far as LIE-berals are concerned!



This is why individual states CAN IGNORE OR EVEN DEFY FEDERAL ORDERS related to immigration issues!


Short of re-fighting Gettysburg - Trump Washington has LITTLE REAL AUTHORITY over the state governors!


LIE-beral news media KNOWS THIS and is hiding he truth - that NOTHING TRUMP COULD HAVE DONE would have minimized the



scale and extent of the Pestilence!



LIE-beral media whores want to MOCK Trump for not acting even though they know very well HIS HANDS ARE TIED!


Such is the INSANE LIE-beral desperation of our times!


LIE-berals know that their policies ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE to the majority and they KNOW that such support as they have from



civil service union HOGS and assorted radical pressure groups IS HIGHLY DEPENDENT on reliable supplies of gvot gravy


THAT HAVE NOW DRIED UP as our entire world GOES BANKRUPT!


LIE-berals have RUN OUT OF GRAVY and are now turning to their last resort - MUD SLINGING AND CHARACTER


ASSASSINATION AND FAKE NEWS!

Say what.....

Fox News host attacks Michigan governor for calling out swastikas at yesterday's protest against social distancing, saying that they were being displayed ironically.
