Trump Hardliners Poisoning US-China Relations. Pompeo “Spreads Political Viruses”
In
its waning days in power, Trump regime hardliners are going all-out to
more greatly deteriorate US relations with China than already — Pompeo
leading the assault.
Rather than
seeing it as a blueprint for imminent conflict with China, a more benign

faux theatrical play.

The
ancient Greek philosopher, Aristotle, realised that persuasive speakers
can lead their audience into making unwise choices, and therefore
believed that the ‘art of influencing opinion’ should be widely taught.

The
painters of Mexico’s renaissance saw the potential of art to serve as a

turned was police brutality against unionized workers.
