I am sure you are right.
Is astonishing how many people on here, have extreme views. The need to certainty, the need to have polarized views is typical of people with childhood traumas. I know this, because I am one and I studies psychology.
In "gergo" this is called black and white mentality.
Unfortunately though, often the true is gray, neither black or white.
All I say is that, nobody asked China to mass produce cheap goods, for the rich billionaire of the west to get even richer. Nobody asked China to mass produce cheaper goods, for us to buy them like crazy in other to feel good.
Don't you realise? We in the west, are all more or less psychoparts, we need China for our consumption addictions, and we need Russia because our energy sector is obsolete.
Is pathetic the way Trump and his followers and sympathizer are behaving, if I have to go down, I rather go down with honour, not with shame. But before that, I rather be honest with myself, be objective, and if I have to bow when I realise that someone or something is beyond my power or comprehension, I hope will bow.
Bowing is not a sign or weakness, is a sign of respect. My issue with USA and the west, is not about who is right or who is wrong, is the way they go about...their foreign politics is shameful and destructive, their hypocrisy, and frankly their outlow behaviours is beyond comprehension.
They are the terrorist of the world, and I can not associate myself to those criminals, you can come up with all the numbers, facts of or information you like, to justify your egos....to have the illusion that all is well, to keep feeling good about yourself.
But you don't need to associate yourself with these criminals, just because you are born in a specific country.
We are free to think and believe what we like, is this not a democracy? Or maybe the meaning of democracy is lost in translation with consumerism?
I am not saying that China or Russia are nice countries, as I said the truth is in the middle.
But what gets me is that, the west needed China/Russia when it suited them and now, they are behaving shamefully. Time will tell how is going to win this stupid battle of egos.
