'Don't worry, it's only mist'

And you're a bastion of democracy

These Olympics are.....odd this time around.

Why is it the US will trade with China, a communist country with a deplorable record in a lot of things. But won't trade with Cuba, a nation of rum and cigars, that has moved out of the limelight and caters to mostly tourists.

Because Cuba doesn't produce all the cheap consumer crap for Walmart and if Cuba had pollution like China it might drift to the U.S. and that's too close.

Because nobody in this government here has any common sense and everything is about politics and ego.

U S Trade

Trade policy has never had anything to do with morality or good sense.
It is just about money. We pick on Cuba because they have nothing to sell.
We buy oil from Venezuela even though they openly insult us. We bought oil from Iraq even though they openly insulted us. We spend billions to prop up Iraq because they have oil, and nothing on Africa.

Wait till China starts seriously doing airliners.

China is a military ally. Cuba allowed Russia to park their nukes at our back door. It was a long time ago, but to the guys who now run the U.S. there was never a time when the country was in more fear.

Actually Chinese air pollution has been drifting across the Pacific for some time already.
