Donald Trump On China

[Khandro]

In office, out of office, the only man to consistently stand up to China. Do you agree they must pay for what they have done?

I agree. China should pay reparations.

[Khandro]

ah //What do you want them to 'pay' for?

What 'payment' would you see as appropriate? //

For deliberately producing a weapons-grade virus which they released into the world killing near four thousand million people, incredible misery & hardship, then trying to cover it up by lying that it was accidentally produced on an, adjacent to the laboratory, food market, the ten trillion dollars demanded by Trump seems a modest sum.

The Chinese owe my own family many thousands of pounds for starters.

"For deliberately producing a weapons-grade virus which they released into the world killing near four thousand million people"

Eh?

[ichkeria]

Hmm.

Anyway, in the real world, if the virus really did escape from one of their labs then they should certainly be held to account for it.
Properly. As opposed to the in keeping with the usual Trumperbolic rants.

I’ve always found lab accusation more reassuring somehow as it feels less random than something unexplained to do with food markets.

Corby //"For deliberately producing a weapons-grade virus which they released into the world killing near four thousand million people"

Eh?//

How should I interpret that "Eh" do you have a problem with my assertion?

[Llanfair]

Khandro - I think most people would have problem with that assertion, it is grade A1 nonsense.

[ichkeria]

Weapons grade nonsense perhaps

[naomi24]

AH, coughing up to reimburse all
the various governments the financial cost of covid would be a start.

[Ken4155]

Where do you get your "killing near four thousand million people" figure from?

[Atheist]

Khandro, your post is an unsubstantiuated assertion. Did you pick up this stuff from the dark web? Why would the Chinese deliberately start a plague in their own country? It would make more sense for a nation to do it to another nation, e.g. that the USA might do such a thing in China.
It all sounds like 'Fake news' to me; deliberately scary but without any evidence, aimed at sowing discord in the world. Just what we don't need when the planet should be working together.

[naomi24]

The planet working together is an idealist pipe dream that is never going to become s reality.

[Theland]

Until the Antichrist is revealed.

[Ellipsis]

Perhaps the USA should pay reparations to its own citizens for the complete hash that Trump made of leading them through the pandemic, and the huge number of deaths they saw as a result.

[naomi24]

For goodness sake shut up about religion, theland. This is the News section.

A nice idea.

Can you think about what you can either prove beyond doubt, or get the Chinese to admit, and then something that you are likely to have a hope in hell or receiving, and then post again.

[Khandro]

Sorry the total deaths are now 3,738,475 drop the word 'thousand' in 14:13 - mistype
Corby's 'eh' was valid.

Elipsis //complete hash that Trump made of leading them through the pandemic, and the huge number of deaths they saw as a result.//

In 2020, 40% of Americans thought Trump's handling of the virus was OK, nowhere did anyone think their governments were doing well, (pace perhaps the UK) consider the EU disaster for example & how can a "huge number of deaths be attributed to Donald Trump?

[ichkeria]

You are also suggesting they manufactured a killer virus as some sort of weapon and deliberately released it.
I don’t think even Trump is suggesting that.

[Khandro]

ichi ;//You are also suggesting they manufactured a killer virus as some sort of weapon and deliberately released it.//

No, I said they deliberately produced it (obviously) but I didn't say they deliberately released it, but released it they did (obviously).

[andy-hughes]

Khandro - // No, I said they deliberately produced it (obviously) but I didn't say they deliberately released it, but released it they did (obviously). //

Then if they released it by accident, you can't really expect them to 'pay for what they have done' can you?

[Ellipsis]

Khandro, you may remember small things like the Trump political rallies that completely ignored social distancing? Or the virus being described as nearly over when it had barely got started? Or ... tell you what, have a read of this select committee report, produced while Trump was still in office ...
