Once upon a time there was the United States, with other Western countries, fighting a Cold War against the communists. Back then the Soviet Union was the most important adversary and trillions of dollars were used to finance an arms race. For decades the entire world lived under the threat of a nuclear apocalypse.

The reason the US and its allies fought the Cold War was to prevent the further spread of communism and to defend freedom. Two decades ago communism fell in East-Europe, soon followed by the collapse of the Soviet Union. The Cold War ended, but communism didn’t die. The US lost its appetite fighting communism, and slowly but surely the policies of the US changed. Now we know the policy of the Obama administration: there are good communists and bad communists…

Let’s start with the bad communists. According to the Obama administration you’ll find these mostly in North-Korea. The bad communists in this country have announced the launch of a satellite into orbit, but the US believes it’s actually a test of a long-range missile and it could reach Alaska, theoretically. Hillary Clinton, the US Secretary of State, has warned the bad communists she will take action if they continue with the launch.

Then the good communists. According to the Obama administration you’ll find these mostly in China. It was the first country Hillary Clinton visited as the new Secretary of State. The reason for this is simple, the first thing Timothy Geithner did, he is the new Treasury Secretary, was offending the good communists. He accused them of monetary manipulation, so Clinton rushed to China, repairing the relationship with the successors of Mao Zedong.

Driven by ideology, Mao Zedong was responsible for the deaths of more than 70 million people. His successors don’t value human life that much more. But, according to the Obama administration, they are good communists. Well, at least Obama wants them to be good for the US, because the communists are loaded with dollars and the US government needs those dollars desperately…
