Now I Get It...

China. UAE. Kingdom of Saud. The WH isn't blind or tone deaf or stupid (unbelievable, I know) in selling our ports to the UAE and China. They simply have no choice but to give away the country and its security to the world's rich elite. After all, that same rich elite already own much of it, at least on paper, by virtue of the loans they have made in the form of bond purchases and so on that prop up this bastion of the market. If those oligarchies wanted to, any one of them could probably bankrupt the USA in a moment, by cashing in their chips, so to speak. So the WH, to save their precious economy for their own rich pals, has to cowtow. This is a delicious irony. You thought tax breaks for the rich were heinous. How about 'tax breaks' for the rich countries?
