Nick, Nothing you say below or said in the original post is false. All are true. Trump could not have written what you wrote, he lacks the literacy as well as the ability to avoid "hyperisms" in his speech. However ... each of your points about the Chinese in both posts have been stated by Tru

As an erstwhile tennis player, I have to say "spin matters"... when the ball comes over the net and I set my feet and body to return it, swing my racket with optimal trajectory to intercept it, all that would seem to matter is "Is my perception of the trajectory of the ball true, and will my ra

We were in Taiwan during their first truly democratic election. The U.S. media was filled with dire predictions of imminent war. The reality was that no one in Taiwan was worried about an attack. China and Taiwan, in spite of the rhetoric, were deeply coupled economically and war would be disast
