Now Is Not The Time For Bashing China, Says Head Of Council On Foreign Relations

[johnswof]

President Putin has done an excellent job getting almost all the Western world lined up supporting the Ukrainians. NATO is united and both Sweden and Finland are hinting about wanting to join. May the sunflowers grow strong this summer in Ukraine.

:...countries we deeply offended by their actions in the past" 0:45

This is actually how Chinese people view US right now

[dividedconquered]

It's either Democracy or Fascism! Time for the USA to deciede! We are not the invader this time, will we be on the side of Democracy for ounce! FDR fought fascism with Democracy! 💙🌻💛

JOE stop interrupting her! Some younger readers/viewers may not know this. Mika is the daughter of Zbigniew Brzezinski former National Security Advisor to Jimmy Carter and often consulted by presidents and Congress during his career. Obviously accomplished in her own right, all of her siblings have demonstrated high levels of civic duty and accomplishment as well. Let her talk for god sakes.

[TroIIingThemSoftly]

DO NOT loosen our agreements with Taiwan! Taiwan is a free country and letting China become more aggressive with them will land you in the same situation as the one in Ukraine right now. I'm okay with making some economic concessions, but NOT with anything that threatens the sovereignty of another country.

[ZebraFacts]

I would never make an alliance with the Devil. You will only set yourself up for a greater failure...either now or sometime in the future and the next one is likely to be even greater. Oh look, the free world did that in WWI. Here we are less than one hundred years later dealing with the fall-out of that deal.

[Macfierce]

I agree. They may be our adversaries and do some unsavory things, but China is a rational country and (unfortunately) an essential one. It's an important world player that we need to work with within reason.

[gamearena]

the problem is that no one trust us any more

[TheUMIA]

Isn't China the same country that gave the Intel we gave them to Russia?

[enough]

Only bullies need to antagonize and taunt, wise men know when to calculate a plausible move!

[bobcharles]

Triangular diplomacy! That is what Nixon called it. But are you sure you can out do China on this! They have been doing triangular diplomacy for at least 2000 years. It is just that they call it the 'The three kingdoms'.

[jerrynadler]

Oh yes the head of the CFR.The most human, compassionate, and credible organizations. I remember when Alex Jones confronted this creep about Bohemian Grove.

[theoneman]

Joe is right on the money. fighting Putin is our main and urgent issue.

[stevemelvin]

I'm sure Jussie Smollett will be dropping the soap in the shower for the next 150 days

[DonCarter]

China simply saying NO to putin could possibly end this.

[eggsbenedict]

It's our job to tell people how to think. - Mika Brzezinski, MSNBC 😒

[scottkrater]

That was Churchill Joe not FDR. This wouldn't have happened with Chump because he wouldn't make his Kremlin handlers mad.

[kandi]

But people needs to understand Taiwan is NOT a country

[col]

To stop a long term challenge you got to start dealing with it now, not when the trouble starts dummies
