The anti-CCP Regime Changers have been completely sidelined. Trump’s transactionalism has triumphed. Neither camp is capable of offering a human-centered approach to China. We need a coalition that puts morality at the core of foreign policy. Views my own: unexemptional.substack.com/p/trumps-red...

Donald Trump disgraces our country & those who created the UN after the devastation of WWII by promising an invasion of a sovereign nation, in clear violation of the UN charter. America should be the world leader in spreading peace & diplomacy, not unprovoked wars of choice.

The anti-communist president met with one communist yesterday and will host a state dinner for another communist president tomorrow. And his party is running against communism after it has given the government stakes in 30+ private companies.
