I have argued for the past 20 years that it is pure insanity that the US never solidified relations with South America... they would rather keep it impoverished and use it as a Banana Republic of a sweat shop continent.
Now, China has already moved in and undercut us with South America just like they did in Africa.
Canada has essentially been sold out to China.
The current regime is clearly selling the US out to China.
I have also long understood that the actual reason that the upper level politico's called Trump "dangerous and stupid and so on" was genuine but not how they publicly portrayed it... the political "elite" had already taken it as a given that China would take power, they gave up without even a fight, and the danger was that Trump's attempts to change the balance would leave the US with worse terms of surrender.
