President Trump escalated the trade war yesterday, making a kamikaze attack on a vast armada of Chinese imports – $200 billion in total – headed for California.
The Chinese say they will retaliate.
Phony Wars
Last month,
we opined that the trade war wouldn’t go any better than Vietnam… or
Iraq… or any of the feds’ other phony wars – against drugs, poverty, or
terrorists.
It will be expensive, futile… and perhaps disastrous.
But that doesn’t mean it won’t be popular. Wars give
the spectators something to live for – us versus them… good guys against
bad guys… winners versus losers.
Their hat size swells as their champion wallops the
Chinese. Their girth shrinks as he challenges and taunts the Canadians.
Their manhood grows when the enemy gives in and admits defeat.
But while this puerile entertainment is taking place
in the arena, the real action is going on in the expensive skyboxes,
where the elite collude against the fans.
