LMAO...nice try though.
I didn't say that. Nice try though.

But again, ask the Kurds if Iraq had WMD's.

The Iraqis used chemical weapons against the Kurds. You find that reprehensible or something?

Why? The Iraqis used them against Iran too...we supplied the Iraqis with the stuff. The United States had no issue with it THEN!

The two incidents probably came from the same stockpile.

Chemical weapons are WMD by definition. Seems they did exist

So why didn’t we protest when they used the chemical weapons against the Iranians OR the Kurds?

We all of a sudden got religion in 2003?

You mean if our government helped cover up illegal gun shipments to China by issuing them fake shipping manifests and then when caught that we finally admitted we did it?

Nah, any complaints if we were to do something like that would be completely unfair.

I also worked in Europe (and of course China).

I have no interest in communism but I fight against all intentional anti China propaganda, because China is my country.
Do you even understand what communism means? What's so communist in contemporary China?
You are correct. Communism is dead except for the label which is like a brand for those politically connected. What you have there is sort of an Oligarchy that has begun shifting towards a dictatorship in recent years.

Considering that the news out of China is almost entirely propaganda, how are you able to fairly discern which foreign information is good and which is "propaganda"?

Look for lots of Chinese money to flow into the Biden campaign to head off any potential investigation. Got to protect Hunter Biden.

Nope. What if China just decided they thought America should do a better job of dealing with gun violence. They should be allowed to conduct their investigation on our domestic policies, right?
