Obama's Moral Lapse In Vietnam

Correction: China has 20.75% of the foreign holdings. But most of the bonds are not held by foreign entities. Of the total $19 Trillion, China has mere 6.6%.

Whoops. I stand corrected. [emoji30]

Uhm, the article actually supports the sale of weapons. It criticizes what is seen as a lack of conviction on the human rights issues.

Then the reference to Saudi Arabia still applies.
It's a bit ridiculous to criticize any American administration for dealing with foreign regimes that have bad human rights records, as ridiculous as it is to pretend that any action taken internationally is driven by human rights considerations.

We are debtors to China, because they hold most of the federal debt.

Ally is not the right word. :)

Actually the US and Us citizens hold a majority of US debt, China only holds a small fraction of it. The US also holds a lot of Chinese debt.
 
Something tells me Hamm is not long for this forum.

I too stand corrected. Thanks to you and the other posters. China holds about 7% of US debt.

Still, we are in a debtor/creditor relationship with them, and we do trade with them.

That said, we are not really an ally of China. For South China Sea and the Spratley Islands, we are becoming somewhat adversarial. Obama's overtures to Vietnam regarding weapons sales plays into that adversarial relationship.
 
There can't be a moral lapse if there are no morals to start. Obama is amoral and his values only reflect Marxist principles. All other principles are subject to political winds.

Obama is beyond amoral. He is immoral, killing unknown innocents with his drones, and daily violating his oath of office.
