Wars of the future

Wise words my friend! WERY wise! However, the "new roman empire" may turn out to be a trojan one! I think, that before that happens, Europe and the US will be in a lot of trouble mostly because of internal affairs. It is true, that China should be afraid of the US, and try all shorts of nasty tricks to counter it! The US must be made to understand, than a potential war with China would seal it's own doom. There is only one way to defeat the US, wich isn't nessecarily throw war. The way is to simply prove, that you can take a possible war to there own doorstep! Surdenly for instanche Napoleon or Hitler would have ruled the world, if they would have been able to conquer britain, but they failed because of the english canal. The same is with the US. The US won the war with Japan for a wery simple reason;The Japanse didnt even try to invade US! BIG MIKSTAKE JAPAN! Later the US pressured the Soviets to draw there missiles from Cuda, and strated a multi million dollar project to protect them from there ICBM:s

China should try everthing and all the dirty tricks possible to prove, that it can hit America. If i was a chinese general, i would split my effors on for instanche emp and space weapons weakening a possible american missile shield. The other thing i would do, is to invest money on nano manufacturing. I think, that in the end this would do the trick. Think of a device about the size of an aple, but with the power of an atomic bomb! I think, that this really could be possible thanks to nanomanufacturing. Ofcouse if the americans would discover that they really couldnt "win" the armsrace(protect them selves from a possible Chinese retaliation strike)the hole united states would possible collapse just like the soviet union. It ofcoutse would have grave economical and political consequences, but i think the Chinese should take that risk. China should also ask help from India, and make an alliance with her. There should be a "core" China-India alliance, with possible for instanche Russia on the side. I think, that if the Chinese discover nanomanufacturing(being able to make things atom by atom)they will win. The american missile shield will become useless, and the USA will have to give up being a "hyper power" A dangerous game, but China has no choise. I personally think that the United States is so weak it would collapse even without a possible armsrace with China, but China dosent have the luxury of waiting that long! You are right;USA will not wait for another 20-years! The war could begin SOON! China must be ready, and get help from India and Russia. But in the end i think China will win. Not because of her weapons really, but because of Americas own weaknes. The "empire" spends billions and billions guarding eufrat and trying to protect it's airspace from possible Chinese-Russian missiles. But it's south border is wide open to almost anyone who wishes come If the American empire can be defeated i think, that the only alliance that will do it is acually a mexican-chinese one And that is why america will eventually fall anyway, with or without chinese help. The question only is, will america try a war with China before that ?

True. As I've said before, the main reason of the US's dominance today is luck. The US should firstly thank Germany & Japan for wrecking Europe & Asia, and secondly they should thank China & Russia for their crucial roles in the winning WWII.
Maybe they should also thank Zheng He for not conquering America So that the Europeans only had to contend with the native American Indians in their conquest of America.

Zheng He was a civilized human who believed in discovering the world
not in plundering it !

Yes, China has done its share of plundering too. No nation is innocent in that regards.

But others have been far worse. China never attempted to take over the world unlike the West.

US is blessed with non hostile countries within its immediate borders.
Canada and Mexico. I can't say the same for Russia and China.

Luck was not the only factor. The US became a superpower after WWII because of its strong economy and the hardwork of its people. How come Canada did not became one, it homeland was never attacked.

In WWII, US industrial output was greater than the rest of the world combined. Luck had nothing to do with that.

You're equating that with trying to take over the world? I didn't make that statement figuratively. IT WAS LITERALLY! The countries of the West are the only ones in the history of the world with a plan and acted to take over the world. Do we see Chinese influence and language in the Americas? Do we see it in Africa? Do we see it in Europe? Do we see it in the Middle East? Do we see it in India? Do we see it in Austrailia? You can only say the Far East and that ain't the world! And in many cases, it wasn't out force but of a diaspora.

The fact is if China wanted to take over the world it was very capable of doing yet it didn't! Unlike the West, China never had a religion that said the people who embrace this religion own the world and it's their duty to convert the world under its dominion.

Do you see in China's museums displaying its plunder of artifacts around the world like we see in Western museums? Do we see genetic mongoloid features in people around the world because of mass rape like what was practice by the West when they raped the entrie world... literally and figuratively? Do you see Chinese historical involvement in the global international slave trade of any kind selling other races into slavery all around the world? The only slaves in China were Chinese slaves and we know you don't care about them! Do we see China creating the first global drug cartel like the West did with opium? But unlike today's drug cartels that do it for money, the West's number one purpose in producing opium was to use it to destroy people so that their countries would be easier to take over. The answer is no to all of the above but the West certainly did those unique and notoriously horrid crimes upon humanity!

China never imposed a fine for every word of non-Chinese spoken on natives of other countries on their own land unlike the West. Out of the 156 years of British occupation of Hong Kong only the last 6 has any measure of democracy. And that only came because China was about take back Hong Kong under treaty. And it wasn't even a true democracy. The people of Hong Kong could never elect their own leader. That was decided in Great Britain where no Chinese of Hong Kong had representation. The governor chosen was always white and always male. The British use to imprison Chinese children that protested that the truth be taught in schools about how the British aquired Hong Kong because of the opium trade and colonial conquest and not the lie they were teaching in Hong Kong at the time. Interesting that the West cries for democracy in Hong Kong today yet didn't utter one complaint when the British imposed a dictatorship throughout their occupation. Same system yet somehow it's only bad when China is in control.

The West cries for a million Tibetans dead in 50 years, but in 1965 the US pressured the Indonesian government to "deal with its communist problem." So what did the Indonesians do? Since communism in that part of the world was more influence by China, the Indonesians decided to kill everyone Chinese even though the vast majority of them have had generations living there before communism ever started in Russia. Over 1 miilion dead in less than a month. I bet you don't cry for them!

Apparently, China is horrible when it comes to practicing genocide compared to the West. 75 million Native Americans... 200 million African slaves through the Middle Passage... And you think China is bad? Is this the Western mentality when the two same crimes are committed.. one by a white and the other by a black, the black is more likely to be convicted and sent to prison? But apparently in this case the lesser offender is more of a criminal in your eyes.

Who's bombings countries left and right based on lies? Not China. Look at how you turn a blind eye when the US invades Iraq to steal its oil. What hypocrisy! No wonder the world hates you because you are in complete denial of what your side committed onto the world.

True. When it comes to genocide, nothing comes close to the scale of the atrocities commited by Europeans against the natives in North America & Australia. The moment the Europeans gained the technologies & maps, originally drawn by Zheng He's voyages perhaps ?, they set out to conquer every corner of the world.
And the African slaves .... where would the US economy be today without the contribution from slavery in the early years of that young nation. It wouldn't be far fetched to say that the extermination of the natives & slavery laid the foundation to the birth & rise of US.

As for the part abt Indonesia. Although Indonesia is by no means an angel when it comes to treatment its Chinese minority, but it has to be seen in the context of the overall situation of the nation. Extreme violence were common in Acheh, Timor, Christian-Muslim violence in Ambon, Borneo etc. I've seen many independent studies by SE Asian institutions that the Chinese killed there in the 60s were in the thousands out of hundreds of thousands of Indonesians of all races killed in that turbulent period. The west was of course very eager to exaggerate the numbers to divide & conquer.
Don't forget Indonesia was screwed big time by the Dutch, creating tensions among the races.
