Two men reinforcing each other's Americaness unabashedly!!
-
So called American exceptionalism 🤣🤣😂.
-
what a bunch of jokers
-
These guys worked and reported for the White House, so they basically regurgitated the same talking points, but in a book to make money
-
Sadly, I learnt very little from this predictable and shallow discussion.
-
"The US digs its own graves, and Russia hands them the shovels; the shovels were made in China." The other day, I read this YouTube comment and thought it was funny but true.
-
You were wrong Sanger, and you still are, no change there
-
After Congress passed that law recently, the incessantly asked question "why didn't China and Russia become democracies" should be rephrased as "how did China and Russia evade subjugation by a small foreign power"?
-
😯 focus on our homelessness. ✌️✌️✌️
-
Still maintaining the Chinese rhetoric? Hopelessly blind 😂😂😂
-
Sanger is one of those journalists at the Times, who acted like the PR department of the Whitehouse.
-
I call them traitors
-
You are still wrong!
-
This guy just mixes some truth with bunch of lies and nonsense.
-
Nothing new here, just the same old conventional cliches that pass for insight on the China-USA relationship
-
Now I understand why Americans have so many misjudgments on China, if the thought leaders think this way, there shall not be possible to have correct judgement. The only good thing is that they didn’t feel ashamed on their misjudgments, so they will continue to influence more people to be more biased.
-
Still preaching the same propaganda. Oy.
-
Man these guys are a piece of work aren’t they?
-
Lol, former white house reporters talking about world politics like they actually know how things work is beyond pathetic
-
Two characters so full of themselves living in an echo chamber of lies.
