Open letter to Charlie Hodge:
I hope Tez enjoys herself down in (the US). You are probably not going. Not when you dis the United States like you have. I hope some bureaucrat puts you on that no-go list. The United States has good reason to be paranoid about their borders. Both for security reasons and economic reasons. LetÏ㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™s go thru your list:
China: There is such a trade imbalance between the two countries that it is ridiculous. ChinaÏ㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™s policy to fix the yuan at a low rate doesnÏ㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™t get you any brownie points.
I do applaud their actions on sanctions on North Korea (as long as they apply them to the letter) Maybe now they realize that the North Koreans can hit Beijing.
North Korea: These heavy (or heavier) sanctions should have been applied long ago. Due to an ostrich approach by successive (and do nothing) presidents, which included a massive monetary payment, we are now in the mess we (as the world) are in now.
Russia: Would we tolerate interference in our national and provincial electionsÏ㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥¦.Hmmmmm guess Russia doesnÏ㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥™t have toÏ㽶ÊÓƵֱ²¥¦.we have lucky PT (reincarnated as JT) governing Canada and an NDP provincial government.
