Sounds like a reciprocal agreement is being worked on. Sell to Chi-na or sell to us, who helps you more?

Seems there is no limit to how low Trump will go. He clearly has a broken moral compass.

Sounds like, doesn't it?

Of course, you're totally unbiased on this one, Setanta.

You once had a Chinese meal, no?

Indeed.
If they want to sell to China then let China help them..

"We want your aid but we dont want your business". Bugger that.

There isn't. Sociopaths are like that.

He never had one to start with.

Can Americans do that?

African countries have long relied on US funding to support their health bills. Al Jazeera reported that African countries received $5.4bn in US assistance in 2024, spent largely on humanitarian, health and disaster needs.




China commonly funds the construction of infrastructure such as roads and railroads, dams, ports, and airports. Sometimes, Chinese state-owned firms build large-scale infrastructure in African countries in exchange for access to minerals or hydrocarbons, such as oil.

Amoral Chinese, eh, sprinty, ya mook?

Who cares? They're only Jigaboos.

If they want their AIDS patients cured, they'll have to sign away their mining rights, it's only fair.

Give us your poor, your tired, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, no?

Why?

Perhaps you misread our post, old chap. It describes the lives of the Jigaboos as tradable commodities to be bartered over with their tribal chiefs.

Jeremy Bentham posited the moral formula just so: the greatest good to the greatest number.

If the Ooga Boogas want their lepers cured, they should be signing a deal with Eric and Don Jnr.

Don't shoot the messenger, leftards. Those blood diamonds belong on the counter at Tiffany's, not perched precariously on the head-dress of some cannibal.

A most utilitarian summation, as I'm sure you'll concur. It maximises the happiness of DL's family, his donors and billionaire friends.

I trust I have made the moral position legible enough for you, dear boy.
