West is not America, i'm italian and i don't like USA and their culture and i know quite well them (various travels and relatives there). Also americans are divided, you are talking about white america that is now a minority. China must operate like russia on a major scale to disrupt american politics and reset their system. If they want to emerge without a war they must act with intelligence to undermine rotten american politics act with intelligence like sun tzu said thousands of years ago.
Heh! Heh! yeah,enjoy your freedom,it was bought and paid for with English, Canadian, and American blood in WWII, we moved to defend those under attack by fascists lead by Hitler and Mussolini, two of the most famous murdering thugs in history....
There are a lot of proud Americans,who are proud of their Italian heritage, they introduced me to Polenta, they would disagree with you vehemently, that's why their parents immigrated here, for freedom and opportunity.
I ride a Pinarello, and I'm damn proud of that, I built it up from a very expensive frame, but it took a hell of a lot of finish machining to install the seat tube and bottom bracket, I'm proud to save I have an "Italian bottom bracket", manufactured with exquisite precision by Shimano!
Jens Stoltenburg is proud to have America supporting NATO, and thankful for Mr. Trumps help?? so Europe is divided too, isn't it, in fact we have a FACO for the F-35 in Italy, so you tell me, we built it there because of overwhelming Italian support....
