About Foreign Affairs
Since its founding in 1922, Foreign Affairs has been the leading forum for serious discussion of American foreign policy and global affairs. It is now a multiplatform media organization with a print magazine, a website, a mobile site, various apps and social media feeds, an event business, and more. Foreign Affairs is published by the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), a non-profit and nonpartisan membership organization dedicated to improving the understanding of U.S. foreign policy and international affairs through the free exchange of ideas. ...

"The ultimate aim of the CFR (Council on Foreign Relations) is to create a one-world socialist system, and to make the U.S. an official part of it."

It is proper to take alarm at the first experiment on our liberties. The freeman of America did not wait till usurped power had strengthened itself by exercise, and entangled the question in precedents. James Madison
Live as free people, yet without employing your freedom as a pretext for wickedness; but live at all times as servants of God. 1 Peter 2:16
As it's always been. Funny thing, the State Department and related agencies hire folks that studied these issues and other countries/cultures. Some are better than others. When it comes to reading, I don't feel I have problems with discernment. Thanks for the warning. You might want to apply same to some of your sources.

What are we to make of the CFR as it relates to the discussion re: US and China potential hostilities?

I'm just presenting information.
Not saying it's "definitive" or all there is to know.
Never called anyone silly.
But it's not smart for me or you to ignore info just because you don't like the way... you think ... it's presented.
I'm not really going to argue the points anymore at DP, I'm just post ing info for folks to consider... or not.
There's info available out there to confirm or deny or give different takes. I'm just posting info thats not considered in the original article posted here.
How pertinent you think it is or isn't is up to u & others.
I'm not a China expert, but to me the broader history & relationships bear some consideration. Among many other factors I'm sure others are more familiar with than I am.
Concerning context of the earlier post.
The topic is war with China from a CFR article. I posted other Info about the CFR and its historical relationship and POV of China.

Some of us do care about history and how it seems to be repeating itself.
If the freedom of speech is taken away
then dumb and silent we may be led,

Well .. for starters a new variant of a pandemic is trying to get leverage right before an election.

But this topic should probably be in another thread.
