In June, the Obama administration persuaded frustrated Democratic legislators to postpone pushing ahead with a bill that would target China for its alleged currency undervaluation because the White House wanted China’s support for a UN resolution targeting Iran, which it received.Dvs. forudsigeligt nytteløse sanktioner for at afværge en teoretisk trussel (iransk atomvåben) mod et andet land (Israel) blev prioriteret højere end at sætte ind mod en merkantilistisk politik, som forgælder egen nation og undergraver samfundet. Hvorfor mon?
Passende citat fra den klassiske litteratur:
You know, Burke, I don't know which species is worse. You don't see them screwing each other over for a fucking percentage.
