Thanks for the reply, Steven. We may be above the 50 percent in-agreement threshold at the moment!

IMO, U.S. follow-up to Soviet collapse was and continues to be inept. Really, really inept!

Re. Chinese meddling/spying (pick any country/any administration) -- what shocks me is that anyone finds this shocking. I do think strong measures should be taken when evidence is presented.

The Chinese are clever with money. Commerce on a grand scale is inevitable. I suspect lessons will be learned; not all of them beneficial to U.S. Emerging business class or not, money is not independent of government blessing in China, to the degree it is in the west.

FWIW, I was 100 percent against recent head-blowing-off episodes in Kosovo, Afghanistan, Sudan and Iraq (did I leave some out?). I absolutely hate the way Clinton defense team has fallen in love with cruise missile barrages. Sort of like chicken-shit hi-tech drive by shootings, if you ask me (or getting off with the less-than-divine Miss M without actually touching her).

Don't get the idea I'm going soft on the head-blowing-off option. Just hate to see it used senselessly. As for "others," we could both cite example after of example of attempts to blow our heads off. Sad. Fact of life.
