Muslims are an unstable bunch. If we leave, you bitch and moan about us not being doers. If we're there, you complain that they're not loyal people... abd that's somehow on us too. Classic time of the month behavior.
Honestly you're putting China on a pedistal with your expectations. Terrorists and proxys are America's game because America doesn't have the inner power but it does have the post WWII connections. Growing is China's game because we have everything we need at home. Myanmar's relations are already much closer to China than the US. We keep beating up Filipino boats, taking islands and building them while the US just watches; it's not our fault they're too stupid to get it that they're hugging the wrong leg. You expect us to totally smoke the US even at their own game before we're done overtaking them? You know it takes decades, centuries in the old times for a large power to rise above another, right?
Trying what? You give these people anything and they throw it on the ground and run. There were no options there.
You're daydreaming that China's playing that game. We're not. We're in our lab making tech that no one else can contend with, not bleeding out trying to prop up people trying to commit suicide.
"Alternative facts" LOL Haven't heard that in a bit, huh? It's coming back!
What lives? Syrian lives. Not Chinese lives.
You are more easily scared than a mouse. The US has no chance at all of isolating China; the new Syrian government's first priority was declaring the China and Russia that everything we have there is safe. I don't really trust them, but you have clearly missed the global trend of China becoming more and more integral to the world economy.
Hasn't failed so far. What's your strategy? Making friends by couping/invading people? As the non-dominant superpower? Stupid and suicidal.
Oh, I guess then we should see Chinese trade declining, right? Right? Do we see that?
Pakistan being "all over the world?" Muslim countries are not safe; we knew that going in. And even so, we have recently began to fight against the terrorists there. The only crying is you on this forum.
When we have grown more powerful than NATO and are confident that we can not only win but win a decisive, none phyrric WWIII if it were to pass.
1. When they start building a massive and modern military... did it happen yet?
2. Trade and economics is the number one option. The EU/US wishes they could still use trade to boost their global power.
The US sometimes wins at its game of regime change but we always win at our game of becoming stronger. I'd bet on a growing young lion over a king of mice and roaches anyday.
Wowwww that is stupid. All your posts are stupid but this one wins. Wait... I remember someone saying China should stop churning out warships to invest more on the Olympics.... was that you?
What did you mention? Provide weapons to people known for throwing away weapons and running. Other than that, all you mentioned... was bitching...
That doesn't complicate anything for them; it complicates things for us. It overstretches our logistics, overstretches our military and puts them out there for things that do not align with China's national goal, which is to first wrest control of Asia from the US if conflict occurs.
