The Globe and Mail treats us to two Yellow Peril screeds today. On page A3 Robert Fife and Steven Chase display a little faux outrage over the fact that China claims the US and its allies were the aggressors in the Korean war. The reason I suggest their outrage is somewhat inauthentic is because these guys are smart enough to know better. Without the intervention of the US and her allies there would have been no Korean war. China and her people have every right to feel pride in the fact that they helped stymie Uncle Sam's plans for the Korean peninsula.
Then, on the opinion page, we get a China expert from McGill waxing wise about how important it is to stand with our allies, and poke Xi Jinping in the eye at every opportunity, because that's what the US and her satellites are doing.
Our expert, one Jerome Beaugrand-Champagne, gets right down to the nitty-gritty. PM Fluffy is way too timid around the commies for his liking. He'd like to see us ramp the belligerence to a level that'll get us a pat on the back from Pompeo. Let's recognize Taiwan and send soldiers to defend it!
Sure thing, Jerome - here's your rifle!
What kind of idiocy is this?
