Secretary of State Antony Blinken Comes to China

"The little worm is back." (All laugh.). "He's going to say
We shouldn't be so friendly with the Russians. He may
Threaten. Who knows? He may beg to get us to let
Russia be destroyed, so that his forces can be turned
On us. He'll whine about the state of trade between us.
Oh, we make too much. We ought to buy more things
From them, though they say we can't have the only
Ones we really want. He'll wag his finger at us,
And accuse us of mistreating the inhabitants of
Xinjiang, then bristle when we point out that he's
Paying for the genocide of Gaza's Palestinians. A worm
Whose only words are lies! A wretched thing, a waste
Of time." I see he's here. Let's welcome him."
(And everybody laughs.)
