Hadn't seen this:

Washington is needlessly provoking the Chinese at a point in time when we need Chinese good will:

The US refuses to return Chinese gold. China strikes back, — Sohu Several hundred tons of China's gold reserves were transferred to the US for storage.

Now China has asked the USGOV to return it to China, but the US has repeatedly rejected China's request on various pretexts.

The Trump Administration has now precipitated a response from Beijing:

China is selling off its US Treasury bonds.

China is one of the largest foreign holders of US government debt, and the more it sells these assets, the greater the risk to the US economy.

Have you ever noticed how for decades now Hollywood always made Russia the bad guy in their movies? It’s like Americans have been programmed to believe Russia must be the enemy at all times.

And now after years of sending billions and billions of dollars to Ukraine and supporting a proxy war with Russia, all that it has led to is over 1 million dead and slaughtered Ukrainians and Russians, and also many economic sanctions that has driven inflation all over the world.

It’s time for diplomacy and time for peace. It’s time to restore good relations and lift the sanctions and develop good trading partners with not only Ukraine, but with Russia as well.

This will lead to world, peace, and prosperity for all.
