** 15-Aug-2019 World View: Thomas Friedman and 'Dell Theory'
The world-famous NY Times columnist Thomas Friedman was on CNBC this
morning, babbling about a lot of stuff, but one thing really caught my
attention.
He was talking about the US-China trade. He was babbling that we
should lift the sanctions a little, and then China will open their
markets a little, and the trade dispute will get resolved that way.
The guy's a complete idiot.
During the CNBC interview, he said the following:
This guy is supposed to be a respected journalist and worldwide expert
on the whole world. And he has no clue what Xi Jinping wants? Well,
at least his cluelessness "really concerns" him, so we can breathe a
sigh of relief.
I've said this before -- people my age have wondered throughout our
lives how Hitler could have so thoroughly fooled the British, when he
told Neville Chamberlain "peace in our time" as he was actively
building a war machine with plans to attack Britain. How is that
possible?
Listening to Thomas Friedman, we can see how it happened. It's
astonishing to see it happen again. Although Thomas Friedman is like
Neville Chamberlain, Donald Trump is like Winston Churchill, which is
fortunate for our country. The contrast between Thomas Friedman and
Donald Trump in terms of basic intelligence is mind-boggling.
Thomas Friedman is the author of what he calls "The Dell Theory of
Conflict Prevention," which states:
How can anyone be so stupid?
