KW: According to the Am Show news this morning Pence has requested that our Prime Minister Jacinda Adern be seated at his table for dinner tonight at the East Asia Summit Gala Dinner  in Singapore. Watch out for the snake attack is what I say as his mission is to destroy our relationship with our largest trading partner. Meanwhile our media speakers on the Am Show ,the speed talking Duncan Garner,  the self promoting egotist and National Party die hard Mark Richardson and the dazzled woman Amanda Gillies completely ignore what this is all about and repeat ignorant rhetoric about how New Zealand has to get along with the U.S. What the table request is about is to destroy our relationship with China while at the same time not offering any changes to New Zealand industries being tarrifed by the Trump administration. There will be no pleasntries exchanged at dinner as we are seen as fringe allies by the U.S. possibly heading the same way as when we stood up against nuclear ship visits when David Lange was in charge. The dinner is to bludgeon her back into line with unmasked threats.
