Lou Dobbs Urges Going To War Against China (To Distract From Trump’s Coronavirus Failures)

Posted by Ellen -7859.80pc on April 17, 2020 · Flag

Lou Dobbs added to Fox’s pro-death agenda last night when he tried to blame the Chinese for the U.S. coronavirus pandemic, ignored Donald Trump’s colossally failed response and then, for even more death and destruction, urged Fan-in-Chief Trump to go to war against China.

Last night, Media Matters caught this pro-death conversation between Dobbs and K.T. McFarland (a former Trump national security adviser implicated in the Trump/Russia scandal):

MCFARLAND: We particularly need to send a strong message to the Chinese. … I would make sure that U.S. military and U.S. Navy forces are in the South China Sea making clear that we are not leaving the South China Sea. We are not leaving the western Pacific. …

DOBBS: If this turns out to be a biological weapon, KT, if this happens to be a conscious and overt act on the part of the Chinese military and we know that biological warfare is part of their military doctrine, a significant part just as cyber warfare or any other. If this were to turn out to be that, what should be the response? Because I'm not interested in two and three-year programs, as I said to former congressman Jason Chaffetz. This country is not operating in the 21st century if we think we’ve got time to retool, reposition, repurpose. We have to have an answer now.

What Dobbs wants is a war against China. Because what could go wrong, especially with Trump at the helm? Dobbs’ concern for 31,000 dead Americans is laughable given that Trump’s failed response is not only responsible for some of them, he threatens more each day.

But Dobbs' war mongering is no joke, given that Trump is a big fan who gets advice from Dobbs. So here's Dobbs urging Trump to cause more American deaths in the name of blaming China (and avoiding any responsibility for himself).

DOBBS: If we don’t go to war over the loss of 31,000 now and certainly more to come – 31,000 American lives – what do we go to war over? When do we quit sending strong letters and talking tough? At what point are there consequences for this kind of behavior because whether they did it intentionally or not, we do know this: that that virus was unleashed on the world and they lied and that is the same as making it an intentional and conscious act of warfare, as far as I’m concerned.

Watch Dobbs' pro-death agenda below, from the April 16, 2020 Lou Dobbs Tonight, via Media Matters.

NONE of the origins of the Coronavirus have been proven! Suggesting going to war with China is not only absurd, it is outright stupid. And get a load of this…READ it and literally weep. The White House was briefed on the virus last year!! https://thehill.com/policy/national-security/intelligence/491712-us-intelligence-warned-in-november-that-virus-spreading

Wannabet that the administration will use the Defence Protection Act for a nice little (they hope) war where the military can use up its toys? That’s a lot more fun (to them) than fighting an invisible enemy.

Nice post, Anonymous. Really nice and neat.

I’ve been thinking about that too, Thx4 Fish*. Through the unbridled greed of corporations, both in America and elsewhere, aided and abetted by governments that couldn’t give a flying fig, we have rendered ourselves helpless to manufacture our way out of a paper bag. China has already won WW3.
  • What would the great Douglas Adams have made of all this? Even the most creative mind in the universe could never have imagined an America ruled by such a confederacy of dunces.

I can just see our soldiers trying to engage in war when their uniform shipments haven’t arrived from Indonesia yet; their boots are stuck in port in India; and their Vietnamese drones are mistakenly put on a ship to Ukraine.

Ok, so I don’t know where all those things are made, but this crisis has shown that this country’s basic needs can’t be met by our own hands anymore. A war right now would be devastating in many, many ways. I don’t think its crazy to say that Fox News apparently wants to kill us all with insanely bad advice!

Thanks Bemused, but I have to admit to plagiarism from a long forgotten source on that one. I heard someone say it way back in my callow youth and it tickled me, just as I’m pleased to see it tickled you in turn. Goes to show that it’s not just viruses that can be spread person-to-person :)

That said, I’m terrified that Trump might actually launch a war in hope of being re-elected. Bush Jr. did that on trumped-up charges and early signs are that Trump will try to lay blame elsewhere, anywhere, anybody.

The professional fact-checkers seem to agree that there’s no evidence that China did anything deliberately and I defy any country to act any faster than they did. According to Politifact, the first cases were identified mid November 2019 and that discovery was smothered by over-zealous local officials with no respect for science. And yet, China had released the warning by end January along with the data needed to identify the beast as early as possible. Mistrust of China might (or might not) be warranted but I wouldn’t trust the Trump administration on most topics either.

I agree 100% with chickenhawk Lou. Start a war with China immediately….IF…Lou agrees to lead the assault, preferably with him leading the assault Slim Pickens style, atop a big fat nuke with his Dear Leader’s portrait emblazoned across it.

A round of applause for John McKee!

Hey Herr Dobbs:

If you’re so gung-ho about going to war with China, WHY DON’T YOU SHOW US THE WAY BY MARCHING THE FAT PERENNIALLY PAMPERED ASSES OF YOUR MILITARY AGED LOVED ONES DOWN TO YOUR NEAREST ARMED FORCES RECRUITING CENTER RIGHT THIS INSTANT? I’m sure the lines there are not long. It’s time for PFCs (Privileged Fascist Chickenhawks) like you to PUT UP OR SHUT THE F**K UP!!

FOX must be put out of business – forever.

Great minds*, Eyes. I have been imagining Dobbs in a mask like Hannibal Lecter’s, with a tennis ball in his gob for good measure.

I’ll just repeat what I said when I saw this on Twitter:

“At what point does @FoxNews muzzle @LouDobbs? He’s downright irresponsible and dangerous. 🤔”

Dobbs: “that that virus was unleashed on the world and they lied and that is the same as making it an intentional and conscious act of warfare, as far as I’m concerned.” But when tRump lies – no problem!
