#1 Bolton is publicly checking off one of the China boxes and clarifying the murky for the brain-dead. Now a chip to play in the EU - China Arms Embargo game.

The acceleration of the polarization in major-player global politics is something to see. If the E3 countries maintain the current course regards the China Arms Embargo, the ramifications for future relations are clear: they're permanently poisoned.

The price tag that must be attached to selling sophisticated Western tech to a country we will face as deadly adversaries, not to mention that China turns around and resells it to the insane regimes of the world, is a situation that can never be rectified, once undertaken. France has lost all credibility and lives in utter delusion, so this is to be expected. But the UK and Germany? They are clearly committing a form of suicide - for purely transient mercenary reasons - and they are fully aware of it. This is some seriously ugly shit. Allies. Yeah, right.

#3 Admitting China to the WTO is looking dumber and dumber. We will need to reconstitute NATO and the WTO soon.
