| #9 Oh I may have forgotten to call BS on that article. Leadership means responsibility. Last thing I heard Xi is blaming everybody but himself for the greatest disaster of the 21st century. China rose... and failed. |

| #8 And the American Mr. Erlanger, the Times correspondent in question, is based in Brussels at the moment. But more importantly, the conclusion of the article does not match ithe title: “What will this mean in five years for great-power competition?” asked Ms. Major. “In 10 years will we say, ‘This is the moment that China rose and the U.S. declined,’ or will the U.S. rebound?” In the past, the United States has rebounded, even if slow out of the starting gate. That was true in both World Wars, when the country’s efforts to remain separated from the rest of the world by an ocean were replaced by strong commitments from the government and the society to win wars and become, as President Franklin Delano Roosevelt put it, “the arsenal of democracy.’’ Mr. Westmacott, the former British ambassador, sees a new seriousness in Mr. Trump over the last few days. “The tone seems to have changed, despite some unrealistic claims about the availability of new tests, with less bluster and a bit more leadership,’’ he said. And the capacity of the United States for medical research is unparalleled in the world. Stefano Stefanini, a former Italian diplomat, was struck by the size of the emergency funding that Congress was so quickly preparing. “For a country that struggled with Obamacare, it’s huge,’’ he said. “This is also part of the real American greatness, the capacity to act boldly when something happens.’’ |

| #6 Well every MO and Abdrool with a Cherman passport is referred to in the media as a Cherman. So the distinction is a bit thin... |

| #5 You do understand the difference between "Germany-based correspondent" and "German correspondent"? I'm getting a bit tired of these knee-jerk reactions. |

| #4 I didn't know that lying and trying to cover it up qualifies as 'leadership'. |

| #1 As long as they don't blame the Jews, they're not really serious. |
