Welcome to Buster's Blog

Irregular commentary on whatever's on my mind -- politics, sports, current events, and life in general. After twenty years of writing business and community newsletters, fifteen years of fantasy baseball newsletters, and two years of email "columns", this is, I suppose, the inevitable result: the awful conceit that someone might actually care to read what I have to say. Posts may be added often, rarely, or never again. As always, my mood and motivation are unpredictable.

China Losing Jobs? The Don Cares.


Don Frito Corleone has frequently flamed at China (JINA!) for its trade and monetary practices, saying, among other bon mots, that China has "raped our country.  It's the greatest theft in the history of the world!" and "China is an economic enemy.  They've taken our jobs."  So the Gaud-father had his Commerce Dept. punish ZTE, a Chinese phone maker and suspected cyber-security threat with a big fine and a ban on buying U.S. parts for their phones.  The move drove ZTE into financial distress.

So it blew everyone's mind when Adolf Twittler tweeted this on Sunday:












Huh?  WTF?  What happened to China (JINA!), the job-stealing, America-raping enemy?  We're now going to help a security-risk Chinese company "get back into business, fast"???

Well, yeah we are, because the Don hopes that doing a solid for China will make them be on our side when he has his nuclear chat with Lil Kim.  And he'd really like to look good after that meeting.  Any other repercussions, he simply doesn't give a shit about.

He's just winging it, blowing it out his ass.
