In an online column denouncing President Trump’s “America First” policy that includes measures regarding Beijing, ex-Defense Secretary James Mattis did not disclose his affiliation with an organization that fosters international business deals with communist China.
As coauthor with three other writers in a Nov. 23 Foreign Affairs column, Mattis did not mention that he works for the The Cohen Group consulting firm. Nor did he challenge China’s tough talk against U.S. policies regarding Taiwan, nor the strict economic retaliation Beijing levied against Australia.
Instead, Mattis criticized Trump administration policies toward Beijing. Such policies, touted by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, are not in line with The Cohen Group’s approach toward international business dealings with Beijing.
“China is a market of enormous opportunity and complexity,” the group states on its website, adding that the group’s China Practice “has a solid record of success with professionals in offices in Beijing, Tianjin and Washington, DC.”

A MAD DOG has NO COMPASSION.. NO LOGIC it foams at the mouth snapping and has no way to think of loyalty in its rabid state. Which means Joe Biden will have a position for Mattis.
General Mattis needs to go back to generalling and get out of politics.
