Or America’s wealthy shameful hypocrisy given the fact that FDR’s “buccaneer” grandfather’s opium fortune had allowed Roosevelt and his family to enjoy “to the utmost … luxury and riches derived from the degradation and wretchedness of the Chinese people.”

Many other affluent New England families made their fortunes from dealing opium as well. “The Cabot family of Boston endowed Harvard with opium money,” says Bradley, “while Yale’s famous Skull and Bones society was funded by the biggest American opium dealers of them all — the Russell family.”

Don't really care about the Nobel Peace Prize. But, I can say, drone strikes should increase by another 600% or beyond to strategically take ISIL out - cut the heads off the snakes everywhere across the middle east.

The Russians have done 10 times more to knock out ISIS and other radical groups than Obama has since the beginning of the Syrian war.

And yet the Liberal American media are saying that ISIS is getting pushed back thanks to the US, That's BS, it's mostly thanks to the Russians.

Once Trump comes in, ISIS and all those snakes in the Middle East, will run and hide like rats. Unfortunately they are gonna runto Europe where they will be welcomed by Angela Merkel and other idiots with "Refugees are Welcome" signs.

Wish we could clone a few Trumps and put him to run some countries here in Europe.

Or the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shanghai_International_Settlement

The Shanghai International Settlement (Chinese: 上海公共租界; pinyin: Shànghǎi Gōnggòng Zūjiè; Shanghainese: Zånhae Konkun Tsyga) originated from the 1863 merger of the British and American enclaves in Shanghai, parts of the Qing Empire held extraterritorially under the terms of a series of Unequal Treaties.

The settlements were established following the defeat of the Qing army by the British in the First Opium War (1839–1842). Under the terms of the Treaty of Nanking, the five treaty ports including Shanghai were opened to foreign merchants, overturning the monopoly then held by the southern port of Canton (Guangzhou) under the Canton System. The British also established a base on Hong Kong under an extensive lease. American and French involvement followed closely on the heels of the British and their enclaves were established north and south, respectively, of the British area.

Which left Chinese people in the area poor and starving...

It's not as if the USA (and South Africa, etc.) were built on the DNA of murderers and slave owners.

What are you... a descendant of slaves or slave owners?

Only someone with slave owner DNA would think like that, so we know what you are now.

The slaves were not really slaves, only to the slave owners that bullied them into it with violence and hate.

WOW... You know my DNA? You make absolutely no sense. So what are you... a descendant of slaves or slave owners? Or are you afraid to answer?

Why are there no lefties protesting China's annexing of Tibet?

Other fish to fry? I don't know, why don't you ask some? Tibet people themselves are still resisting, even after all they've been through - https://freetibet.org/about

But we were talking about the PE and China. Let's see how this plays out. People who have experience in foreign policy and know the issues and relationships in that part of the world (which our illustrious PE does not) don't think it will go well. Asia is a delicate balance and China holds most of the cards by far, pissing off the most influential country in the region makes you a fool, not a winner.

So it's about time Liberals and Progressive and even some Republican haters to accept the fact that Trump won the elections by the rules previously accepted by both parties.

Unless they were rigged. Trump said he thought they were rigged before he won, maybe they were rigged by his own people? Now, as it's looking more and more like most voters vehemently didn't want him, he's saying (with no proof) that "millions of illegals" voted so that's why he lost the popular vote..

He's at best a thin skinned little snowflake. Thin skinned people let their emotions rule and make stupid mistakes.

FWIW, I agree that Obama was a poor choice for the Nobel Peace Prize - there were better options.

Slave owners lost the right to force human beings into slavery. They didn't change their ways (i.e. DNA).

Idiots like En that make no sense are just not worth answering to.

The Chinese or for that matter, Asians admire tough leaders like Trump. They walk all over pussycats like Obama. Just look at Philippine President Duterte who called Barack Obama a "son of a whore" as he vowed not to be lectured by the US leader on human rights when they meet in Laos.

Or when Obama was snubbed on the tarmac when he arrived for the G20 summit in China? It shows they don't respect Obama., because he's a weak leader.

Give it a few months and you will see China and other countries show respect to the US thanks to Trump.

China needs the US a lot more than vice-versa.

You anticipate a disastrous Trump Presidency and I anticipate a fantastic Presidency. You will be proved wrong in a few years time.

As for the elections,,, yes they were rigged against Trump and if he hadn't made so much noise about it, it would have been even worse.

He made a brilliant campaign. He had to fight so many, virtually by himself. He fought against the DNC + the Clinton Machine + the powerful MSM + all of Hollywood + virtually all of the top singers and celebrities + all of the late night shows + a lot of powerful Republicans + he financed his campaign with mostly his own money and you call him THIN SKINNED?

Voter ID for everyone, just like all the countries in the world, except the US. That way no more dead people or illegals or people bused in from other parts of the country to vote 2x or more.

Democrats and MSM call that "voter suppression". That's BS. They obviously think everyone else are idiots to believe this voter suppression crap.

What do you expect, they are human too.

"Do not criticize others if you have similar weaknesses yourself."

Translates as, "do not challenge the almighty USA, or we will destroy your homeland."

BTW, that was exactly my point. The USA and Westerners are not morally superior.

Classic Westerner tactic from history, hang the guy and stick a "SAVAGE" sign around his neck.

The way you put it sounds like you're saying 2 wrongs make a right. Which probably means you have slave owner DNA also.
