No Brains In Washington — Paul Craig Roberts
Washington’s IQ follows the Fed’s interest rate — it is negative.
Washington is a black hole into which all sanity is sucked out of
government deliberations.
Washington’s failures are everywhere visible. We can see the
failures in Washington’s wars and in Washington’s approach to China and
Russia.
The visit of Chinese President Xi Jinping, was scheduled for the
week-end following the Pope’s visit to Washington. Was this
Washington’s way of demoting China’s status by having its president play
second fiddle to the Pope? The President of China is here for week-end
news coverage? Why didn’t Obama just tell him to go to hell?
Washington’s cyber incompetence and inability to maintain cyber
security is being blamed on China. The day before Xi Jinping’s arrival
in Washington, the White House press secretary warmed up President
Jinping’s visit by announcing that Obama might threaten China with
financial sanctions.
And not to miss an opportunity to threaten or insult the President of
China, the US Secretary of Commerce fired off a warning that the Obama
regime was too unhappy with China’s business practices for the Chinese
president to expect a smooth meeting in Washington.
