Let me teach you guys about diplomacy...
If you want to open a Gold Mine in Mexico, then you are going to be blocked, but if you go in and build roads and bridges and if you bring in telephones and running water and television and radio, etc, etc, etc, then they invite you in. If you spread the wealth and if you help the people, then they will let you open Gold Mines in Mexico.
That is the way the world works. You need to share the wealth.
When I first moved into this apartment in Anaheim almost 20 years ago, the first thing that I did was to pass out a truck load of free ice cream to the whole neighborhood, it was a hot summer evening and I was a hero for passing out free ice cream to the neighborhood. And with that, a trucker just pulled up and asked me if I wanted to pass out free ice cream to my neighborhood, and I just agreed to do it and passed out the free ice cream with my Uncle Dennis. We were instantly welcome in this neighborhood. That is how you do diplomacy, you go in and pass out a truck load of free ice cream, and then you are a hero.
And then later I threw a mahi mahi taco party here at the complex with free tacos and pizza and with a live band by the swimming pool. That is diplomacy, I am a legend here after that party.
If we go into China and send them Mimosas, and McDonald's restaurants, etc, then China will love us, and we can work together on issues that we agree on such as curing Cancer and going to Mars, etc.
Salute,
