Where are you going with this? What are you suggesting?

It was a sarcastic play on words how Trump supporters are "supposedly" aligned with the Russians, when in effect FDR aligned with the Russians to defeat Hitler.

You kidding? All the talk about "BRICS" over the years?

The context of losing commercial/ industrial/ military secrets over the past couple of decades by Chinese espionage is well documented by any informed account. The F-35 was just an example and microcosmic of this effect.

Point being that digitization knows no boundries now.

I guess I obviously have concern about losing national defensive edge, but the F-35 program is a joke.

Now you've changed the topic. Are we talking about the known transfer of technology to the Chinese in the 1990's or the alleged theft of technology of the F-35?

What was alleged about F-35 design theft? It is documented to be "terabytes" of data.

Again an example of microcosm of theft by the Chinese for decades now.

Dumb article. You realize how negotiations work? Any dumb reality TV show will show u where in your initial proposals by each party where you could expect consensus. If true, Trump went extreme in initial offering.

You worry too much about this, like BRICS years ago. As long as average folk can purchase in this nation, companies bend over backwards. Look at the gymnastics corporations go thru to just establish market presence in China by giving majority ownership to Chinese control while they steal your secret sauce.

Russia SHUNS US dollar for trade as it joins Turkey in protest against Trump

Moscow declared it will decrease its holdings of US assets in retaliation against crippling tariffs imposed by US President Mr Trump on Russia and Turkey.

Chillingly, Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev said Russia would regard any US move to curb the activities of its banks as a “declaration of economic war” and added the country would retaliate.

Fresh sanctions against Russia has been threatened by President Trump who declared Moscow were responsible for the Salisbury Novichok nerve agent attack on former Russian spy Sergei Skripal, 66, and daughter Yulia, 33, back in March.

Mr Siluanov said the new sanctions were “unpleasant but not fatal” and used a TV interview to shed light on the drop in Russia’s holdings of US government bonds restricted as a result of the tariffs.

I thought Trump was a PutinPocket kinda guy. Now the Dims will surely be on board. Holding my breath.

You are correct. The provoker would be the responsible party. I 100% agree.

Is that any different than what you think?

only if the response is in the same vein as the provocation. Run your MOUTH =/= getting shot. Cutting of oil =/= war.

also curious about what you think of the Japanese sinking a river boat we had in china (loss of crew) and the assault/robbery of our embassy in Nanking while that was going down in the 30s?

*edit, its still early in the morning.
