What should be done about China?

Post by bmw » Wed Jun 02, 2021 8:58 am

If the lab leak theory ends up being proven to a level of somewhere at least close to beyond a reasonable doubt, what should we do about it?

I'm surprised there isn't more outrage from the general US population at China. Covid is currently blamed for just over 3.5 million deaths worldwide. By this time next year, that number may well eclipse the number of Jewish people killed in the Holocaust. Then combine that with the devastation to the world economy and add to that the number of indirectly-caused deaths, and you're approaching something that ravaged the world like a major war would have.

Me personally, I think there needs to be SEVERE sanctions, and not levied by just the US. Your thoughts?

Nukes on the homes of their leadership. Send them listing into oblivion.

We are too beholden to China… crippling them would cripple us.

Even if there was no intentional, unintentional or nefarious leak of the virus, consider how much intel they've gathered on the ramifications of using something like this in warfare. I'm sure we've learned a bit too, but how will we take advantage of that knowledge, especially on the defensive side?

Wonder how much work has gone into a "create a vaccine first, then figure out how to make the virus" process?

The first thing we need to do is renegotiate the Trump trade deal. If they refuse, then we hit them with sanctions. They should be punished. Let's also not forget that they allowed a satellite to come crashing down to earth.

And side note: whether it came from the lab or not, China was sloppy in letting COVID spread in early December 2019. They insisted that the disease couldn't jump person to person.

The Chinese should be considered an enemy of the world as far as I am concerned. Reckless abandon!

FTR, the whole board was concerned about you.

Except Matt. He said "Good riddance! Never liked that pompous ass anyway".

BTW, lovinlife got banned in her 4th or 5th incarnation while you were gone.

What to do about china is quite perplexing. I mean, all the styles I really like aren't dishwasher safe.


New York and Chicago were all in with respect to their sanctuary status — until they were hit with the challenge of actually providing sanctuary. In other words, typical liberal hypocrisy.

And that's okay. Other than start a nuclear war, there aren't really bad answers.
