Deputy Sec. of State Wendy Sherman is an example of a dressed-up SJW.
Is the term glock-en-spiel related to ‘a glock gets you what you want faster than an endless spiel’?
That would be the opposite of Churchill’s ‘jaw jaw always better than war war’, no?
Wang this, wang that – these chinooks all look the same anyway. I read a term the other day that gets more fitting every day: this is a crash test dummy administration.
By the way: the chinese political administration is still organized according to confucian principles, with very hard exams one has to pass to get a job in the administration that guarantees a ” bowl full of rice” ( and a little more) every day. Pitching a lesser rank person versus a higher rank person is a grave insult in confucian thinking. That’s why the chinese insisted on that. Must be that cultural sensitivity thing. Maybe wendy can talk to Vicki Nuland and bring fortune cookies with her next time. The ones with those funny sayings inside. The chinese, i’m sure,… Read more »
Why obsessed with confucian principles? It seems to me to be a universally recognized protocol of diplomacy for representatives of equal ranking to meet and discuss issues of mutual interest.
Did not neocon Vicky Nuland meet with neofascist Andriy Parubiy to discuss their mutual interest in overthrowing the duly elected government and what level of violence to use in accomplishing it?
I rest my case.
Not in the rules-based international order, it’s not.
Vicky-poo was just upholding America’s democratic right to subvert democracy.
Oh, and tell the EU to F.O. when they deviate from the script. That’s pretty important too.
When you set hard exams and people pass them then you have your brightest. In the US they have watered down their education system so much to meet woke expectations you end up with people like Victoria Nuland.
We Americans have become the quintessential anti-Meritocracy.
I heard the term used today and fell in love with it, because it fits so well.
The lower ranked person was Wendy Sherman, not Wang Yi.
I’ll bet your tune would change if Wang Hung Lo would stoop to servicing you.
A billion and a half Chinese look-a-like robots tirelessly churning out finished goods for world consumption. Biden might as well just bite the bullet and surrender now.
PS: America sang the same tune in the 80’s about the Japanese look-a-like juggernaut with a tenth the population, so you do the math, if you still can. If not, ask a Chinese – they excel in math. 😉
This is clear racism!
Wendy Sherman is a long-time member of the globalist Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) and the Trilateral Commission, along with her boss Antony Blinken.
Most of the players on the “Biden team” are CFR members, including the secretaries of State, Treasury, Defense, Commerce and Homeland Security. Also the CIA director, Fed chairman, UN Ambassador, and dozens more — like Ned Price.
This is what happens when you send a mediocre person with a made up “studies” degree and oversized ego to do a diplomat’s job.
Education does not necessarily equate to intelligence.
It takes intelligence to truly absorb education, and it takes education for the intelligent to put their intelligence to best use. They need each other for best results. Standing alone, both are of limited use.
I’ve seen plenty of education without intelligence, and also plenty of intelligence without formal (as we know it) education.
“Intelligence appears to be the thing that enables a man to get along without education. Education enables a man to get along without the use of his intelligence”. (Albert Wiggin) Mark twain said that he never let schooling get in the way of his education
I agree with Wiggin and Twain..
Yale grads for one, are the proof of the pudding.
China should stop beating around the bush and call out the US for what it exactly is; an evil nation. The US is absolutely in no position what so ever to criticize China or others of genocide when you look back at its past and present history. A country that has massacred millions of civilians in its different wars around the world by also using chemical poison and atomic weapons.
China calling the US “an evil nation” would have no positive consequences, but might have negative consequences. The only thing that could lead to positive consequences is that a critical mass of the American people themselves start calling their own government an evil government that can and will lead to positive consequences.
It is reaching a point that China or Russia has more legitimacy than the US,A country can not be run by minorities, because they exist at the suffering of the majority. The current US is the penultimate example.
The point that China or Russia have more legitimacy than the US has been reached quite some time ago. The current regime controlling the US and its Western sycophants is supported by an estimated one-fourth of the US population and probably fewer than that by the non-US West. (rough estimate)

Off your meds again, Duh-wight?
Isn’t he one of Biden’s speech writers?
Alexander, I am a great fan of your efforts. Please change your camera angle higher. I’m getting vertigo watching you look down into the barrel. Make it higher.
I like it the way it is. Get to check for ceiling spiders.
Regarding a 2nd round of WHO inquiries; on the surface a perfectly reasonable request. However, 1) given the tendency within never ending US political turmoil to weaponize the issue for various reasons and 2) given an even more foreboding weaponization of organizations of similar allegedly ‘independent’ standing but in reality – compromised beyond salvation, such as the OPCW and others by the US and ‘its allies’, so to speak – is it any wonder that the Chinese would be rightfully suspicious of its true purpose and have none of it?
US ‘diplomacy’ works like this: Keep demanding inquiries until you get the answer you want and if denied or stymied, use the denial as proof of the pre-determined answer that you sought in the first place.
That technique is related to others, such as the ‘bait and switch’ of ‘international law’ vs ‘the intl rules-based order’ and ‘precedent vs whataboutism’.
Thank-you for decoding those few statements of the US government. Perhaps one V. Nuland wrote them – she is a proven charlatan in the field of international relations. And the first and second in command of the foreign affairs department – they are proven dilettantes – did not read or understand their significance before approving them.
It’s all very well, since it will hasten the decline of the empire.
That’s probably the only positive spin you can put on it at this point. Just get it over with. Who wants a slow death.
I wonder if she and Freeland are best buds and how they manage to stay away from such minor irritants like ‘did your grandpa slaughter my grandpa?’ You know, stuff like that.
As long as they’ve found common cause in who they both should be slaughtering today, I guess it doesn’t matter that much to them.
We know what they are and what they did.

Just one of thousands. RIP
Merkel, be sure to reward them with a few hundred million euros for starters. What’s that work out to, fifty thousand or so per head? Nice bounty. You should double it for the children.
Update, basically diversion was to upgrade a barren Tiger Preserve 1938 Tigrovaya Balka into enhanced capable Tigers Riverside and…but also Russians with (Woody) Wood Pecker- Duga into Babi with Missle abundant Phallus? Babi Bolting on the Doors of Heaven. Which with Putin, the Chinese want to play with new toy and try out Supernatural Aggression of Babi with talk of nuking Japan. I was diverted out of Primary Continuance so that upgrade of tiger Preserve became a full blown christian adventure- Corona, lockdowns, ect.
