Tom Cotten wants to boycott the Olympics coming up in China

[WTF]

I was watching CNBC Squawk Box when Cotten said this stupid statement.

Are my friends on the right or left for that matter really of this mindset?

It sounds WOKE AF to me.

Thoughts.

[NoirMan]

Didn’t we go to Germany in 36 and participate?

[Jacuzzme]

They do owe us 10 trillion or so, not sure if boycotting the Olympic would do anything. Maybe send a couple pipe hitters to kidnap Xi instead.

[Yssup Rider]

He’s just pissed that the IOC still won’t add hog calling to the event,

[WTF]

LOL....Cotten was on a program yesterday and he looked like a corpse

This is a prime example as to where the entire World, including the United States, stands on the issue of Totalitarian Thugocricies vs True Democratic governments.

We sent the team to Germany before WW-2 because Hitler had yet invaded anybody and had not committed mass genocide.

Communist China was founded by possibly the greatest mass murder in history, Mao. It still has exactly the same Government. This government can simply make you disappear. The population is at the total mercy of some of the most brutal thugs to ever be in power. If you stand up to them, they can simply put you against the wall.

But, they are also an economic giant. They have a ready made workforce of 1.5 billion slaves at their disposal. Through manufacturing might, they now have much of the Western Democracies beholding to them for everything from micro chips to toilet paper.

So we all are willing to look away. The China Man can do as he pleases with impunity. Invade other Countries? Look the other way. Unleash a weaponized virus on the world that kills millions and ruins economies.? Look the other way.

We should be ashamed. But we are not. We would rather have cheap cell phones.

So boycotting the Olympics fixes all that?

This boycott seems similar to a rapist calling for the cutting off of your balls, not his.

Tom Cotton and Jackie calk fot a total boycott of all Chinese trade if you feel that strongly about it.

He’s daft. They could dump the debt on the market and basically crash our economy. They’d likely come out of it better than us in the short run after a world wide depression.

There’s a bunch of idiots out there that believe we could always just stop paying on our debt to punish China. Wouldn’t work at all like they think.

[winn dixie]

biden will not upset xi and his commie comrades. The U.S. will be there . Whether we have any satellites left? Well ????
oh yeah marxist dpst and all that........

[rexdutchman]

Jackie S is correct in the them vs us very sad more people don't see the facts

Bullshit. China owns about a trillion in US debt, dumping it would certainly cause a hiccup and interest rate increase but would cause nothing close to a worldwide depression. Biden’s (and every other president in the last 50 years for that matter) wild spending causes far more damage to the US than China could ever dream of.

I'd like to see the research that backs up your claim. China would have to kill millions of people to put down the dissent that would occur when masses people can't earn a living.

Did the Uighurs build the ski slopes?

I think it is evident that our local Liberal Faction is all in for China.
