“How is it that the entire capitalist economy can grind to a halt while trillions continue to be pumped into waging war abroad?”

There is always billions for the war machine but nothing for US citizens more billions for Israel but nothing for the poor in America.,

China and Cuba’s Medical Internationalism is a Shining Example of Global Solidarity
By Danny Haiphong


April 02, 2020 "Information Clearing House" - China sends medical equipment abroad, Cuba sends doctors and cutting-edge drugs, but the US fails to provide its people, doctors and nurses with basic tools and protection.

“How is it that the entire capitalist economy can grind to a halt while trillions continue to be pumped into waging war abroad?”

U.S. imperialism has loathed China and Cuba ever since the mid-20th century when both nations pursued a revolutionary path and replaced the yoke of imperialism with their own forms of socialism. Americans are constantly bombarded with anti-communist and racist talking points which depict China and Cuba as “authoritarian” states that kill, torture, and repress the so-called democratic aspirations of their own people. The corporate media portrays the people of Cuba and China as backward stereotypes worthy only of the imperial targets placed on their backs. Most people residing in the U.S. are either unaware of their government’s imperialist war crimes or find themselves too distracted to fight the U.S. sanctions against Cuba or the dangerous military provocations that successive U.S. presidential administrations have waged against China. The COVID-19 pandemic currently wreaking havoc on the U.S. and the West challenges the very legitimacy of the imperialist narrative against China and Cuba for the sheer fact that these maligned nations have been able to organize a heroic campaign of global solidarity to control the spread of the disease.

China was the first country to report an outbreak of COVID-19 in late December and the city of Wuhan has been under near total lockdown since January 23rd. After two months of aggressive measures to contain the virus, Wuhan and the rest of China are now reporting zero new domestic cases for consecutive days. This has allowed China to send its expertise and resources all over the world to fight the spread of the virus. Billionaire and Chinese Communist Party member Jack Ma has sent millions of masks, testing kits, and other medical supplies to every country in Africa as well several Asian nations such as Thailand, Malaysia, and the Philippines. He has also sent a comparable number of medical supplies , including one million masks, to the United States’ Center for Disease Control. However, Chinese aid hasn’t been limited to Jack Ma’s philanthropy. China’s central government has sent medical and technical assistance to Italy , Iran , Greece , and Venezuela .

“Billionaire and Chinese Communist Party member Jack Ma has sent millions of masks, testing kits, and other medical supplies to every country in Africa.”

Chinese solidarity abroad comes just two months after COVID-19 was infecting several thousand people per day with a mortality rate of around two to three percent. Once the outbreak was contained, China immediately shifted its focus to the world stage. Contrast this with the United States, which failed to make any preparations for COVID-19 despite the month and a half that China provided the rest of the world to ready itself for the virus’ spread. China is sending protective medical equipment abroad while massive shortages of the same equipment exists in the United States.

Thanks to idiots like Obama and Quomo that failed to order or restock supplies we see shortages everywhere. Notice the states with problems are all Democratic states.

As far as the war thing, you can thank Obama. Trump is trying to get us out of Obama's wars.
