  • Antisemitic

    Accusing Israel of genocide or ethnic cleansing shows an ignorance of the meaning of those terms. Or they use over the top rhetoric to express their antisemitism. That would fit with CFR’s routine antisemitism

  • Tune in to the American foreign policy council

    CFR is comprised of antisemites who can’t bother to research the subject before they mouth off

    CFR represents the Davos elites leftist agenda. The American Foriegn Policy Council represents the honest American interest. I have been going through the last couple of years podcasts and they have proven far more accurate in their predictions than has CFR.

  • CFR is an anti American hate group.

    CFR is an anti American hate group. They lie and deceive in order to advance the leftist elites that feel entitled to rule and impose their will on the world.

  • Taiwan:

    If there is any question what would happen to Taiwan after a Chinese takeover, just look at what the Chinese Government is trying to do in Hong Kong. Xi Jinping lied as to how Hong Kong would be governed and he will lie on any, so called, agreement on the disposition of Taiwan after Chinese takeover.
