After Krugman and Schumer, it is now ...

Ambrose Evans-Pritchard who gets it all wrong in his article:
"Is China's Politburo spoiling for a showdown with America?"
The long-simmering clash between the world's two great powers is coming to a head, with dangerous implications for the international system.

Comment: Ambrose is a hilarious writer. He suffers from the Churchillian disease of being consumed by the brilliant phrase. Half-baked thoughts in glamorous prose; as such they are always the attraction of the masses, well-educated and not-so-well educated. Yet like in real life, in politics, too, words are facts, and whole generation on all fronts were drawn into nihilation by the seduction of the sounds. I recommend to avoid reading Ambrose. His prose is dangerous and may be hazardous to your mind. In contrast to Ambrose, Krugman's writngs present no danger - on the contrary. The more one reads Krugman, the more any intelligent person will notice his garbage.
