For quite a while, everytime I've seen a story about Hillary Clinton and her latest excuse for losing in 2016 (I think the last one had something to do with extraterrestrials and mind control), my reaction has been to wonder why she doesn't just go away. I doubt that my thoughts had anything to do with it, but Hillary indeed has gone away. She's now in China speaking at a major conference in Beijing. Her main topic was North Korea.
First, let's start with the elephant in the room. I have yet to see an article discuss how much Mrs. Clinton got paid for her speech. No doubt, it was a big payday for her. I would put the over/under at $250,000 plus expenses.
Back to the speech. Hillary told the assemblage that the USA and even China were being too hard on North Korea. She called for a softer approach in order to avoid a war. Get it? The woman who ran foreign policy for four years during which America took no action against the North Korean and they, in turn, continued building nuclear weapons and missiles, thinks that going back to that policy would be a good thing. According to Hillary, we would all be better off just letting Kim Jung Un have nukes and missiles so that he could take out a few American cities if he ever felt the need.
What amazes me is not that Hillary holds this view. After all, right now Hillary's main point of reference is to oppose anything that President Trump is doing. If the President came out for a softer North Korean policy, Hillary would no doubt call for war. We know that Mrs. Clinton is not speaking from her own convictions. The only bedrock principle that Hillary holds is doing what is good for her no matter what is right. (And using conviction in a sentence with Hillary tends to make her nervous for obvious reasons.)
I am, however, surprised that Hillary would use a Chinese conference to confront the Chinese cooperation with President Trump to stop the North Korean missile program. After all, these days those high price speaking engagements for the Clintons don't grow on trees. I'm really surprised that she would jeopardize a return engagement by criticizing President Xi's policies.
