Being opposed to Islam is no more racist than being opposed to Communism. It's the political, moral and social philosophy which people oppose, regardless of the skin color or background of the followers.

Russia's Putin is in Beijing to confer with China's Schee. The two countries have been getting closer and closer over the years. Yesterday, North Korea's little fat man was greeted by Putin in Vladivostok. The Philippines' murderous Duarte has already expressed his admiration for China, which is slowly buying his country, while Turkey's new Sultan and Putin express mutual admiration for each other. The world's thugs are feeling very chummy towards each other. Meanwhile the West is in complete disarray, with nothing but weak leaders, shaky coalition governments, and rising anger from their electorates. They have all, except for the US, allowed their military forces to lapse into near obsolescence while they divert funds in desperate attempts to buy off angry, entitled electorates. France has riots in the streets every week, despite having one of the most generous (and unaffordable) welfare states in the world. Germany is consumed with its migrant crisis, while the UK is busy tearing itself apart over tearing itself apart from the EU, and could well elect the next thing to an outright Communist as its next prime minister. And there's us, consumed by virtue signalling and identity politics with a government determined to stop all economic development at any cost. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/world/article-putin-backs-xis-vision-of-a-new-world-order-as-russia-china-look-to/

Here's an interesting bit of data. 40% of Canadians think too many visible minority immigrants are coming to Canada. But visible minorities are MORE likely than white Canadians to think that. Non-white Canadians appear even more likely than most Canadians to say there are too many non-white immigrants coming to Canada. While 39.9 percent of respondents overall said there were too many “visible minorities” among Canada’s newly arriving immigrants, the percentage of “visible minority” respondents who agreed with the statement in the EKOS poll was 42.8 per cent. https://www.macleans.ca/news/canada/why-race-and-immigration-are-a-gathering-storm-in-canadian-politics/

Oh, yes....Canada's magic borders. I've heard of that.

No I'm not. I just don't think as many cling to it as long or wear it with the same sort of pride as more old stock immigrants.

Oooooh, you're one of those who believe immigrants never bring their own racism with them. Haha, that's funny.

My "screed" calls it as I sees it. If you have a problem with my screed rambling here then stop reading what I post and stop commenting or replying to my posts. It's that easy-peasy, lizzy.

Correct...except for the U.S. But this is not the first Sino-Russo seduction, as the first occurred many decades ago between Moscow (Soviets) and China. It did not end well for either. This time around, they may get it right. President Trump is giving the world what it has wished for after so much bitching about American foreign policies...a less engaged United States. Unlike Clinton, Bush, and Obama, no new shooting wars have been engaged by Trump. ...be careful what you wish for.

U.S. economy keeps on rolling with President Trump. Numbers include impact of government shutdown. Better than the EU...and better than Canada.

The whole story seems to have fallen out of the media news cycle rather quickly. Not a lot of tweets from democrats either.

Good for Trump....he can do things that the losers can't do. That's what WINNING gets you. "Elections have consequences" - President Barack Obama (2009)

Stop extrapolating to the absurd.

That doesn't absolve us of anything, we're still responsible for the governments we elect. By your token our grandchildren are not responsible for the national debt we're still wracking up.

I'm confused about what point you think you're defending.

So just tax the snot out of the rich. Problem solved.
