    Beijing said Monday that it will impose sanctions on American companies — including Lockheed Martin, Boeing, and Raytheon — that have been involved in selling weapons to Taiwan.

    The exact details of the sanctions have yet to be announced, but Zhao said they will apply to "relevant US individuals and entities that played a negative role in the arms sales."
    Is this a joke? China isn't involved with those companies. Chinese can't buy those companies' products or have anything to do with producing them.
    Well maybe Boeing. A lot of what's in those things is expensive because it's top secret and nothing Chinese is in it. I.E. circuit boards n whatnot, that China has a virtual monopoly on.
    Idk about putting all that stuff over there with China's propensity for reverse-engineering things.

    Boeing is a joke of a company now.

    They remind me of America.

    A really bad bet.

    It's hard to see Boeing surviving without some wars to boost its weapons division.
    Many European companies too.

    What exactly that will entail & how they will enforce it is yet to be seen..
    "There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."

    Link? Or is that just a prediction? I can understand if Taiwan buckles, but I don't see Trump doing it.
