I don't suppose folks here give a rats ass about that minor detail but if we can't get our shyte together as a country, as China thinks we are in decline, that means that union will go about mucking up with Europe and Asia like China is doing as we speak making artificial islands near the Philippines and militarizing them.

One thing on our side, we deny electronics to Rus ...[text shortened]... r and work out differences peacefully like grownups
and show the entire world we are not declining.
China and Russia have a long relationship.
Like an old married couple, they are both,
at times, contentious, other times affable.

Yes and it means we as US citizens have to get our shyte together or we will be just another banana republic with a big military. What could POSSIBLY go wrong?

Amazing, the ultrarights here are foregoing their rabid defense of Trump.

@kevcvs57 - "In reality the Nation that has to worry most about China’s inevitable westward expansion is Russia. "

1. In what manner are you suggesting that China expands in the West and who specifically
will be expanded on (if you can be that specific)
2. Why will such Chinese expansion be detrimental to Russia? I see such a po ...[text shortened]... ese
as mitigating Russian bad intentions, thereby enabling Russia to expand in the West more easily
Scenario - Chinese firms begin to develop and settle the land on the other side of the border from Manzhouli.

Scenario 2 - China demands the revocation of the Amur Annexation:

"Republican Inquiry finds no wrongdoing by Biden

See that? Your own party found no wrongdoing by Biden. You lose again.
Don't they need 31 hearings to
establish no wrongdoing?
I mean, they had that many for BENGHAZI.

Seems like that would be a major war, fighting over Siberia.

If they do, it must have something to do with resources, can't imagine any battle over Siberia just for the land.

China is the kind of country that would do it out of principle and bragging rights but Siberia has timber, oil and minerals to feed China's endless factories.

@kevcvs57 - "I take you do not take an even cursory interest in history,"

You were doing fine up until that bullshyte.

See ya
No it’s you that’s full of it earl. Pretending to not know that empires have always been built when the opportunity arises because that fact doesn’t suit your infantile bs stance.
If you do read history and know the answer why ask the question, if you sincerely did not know that then you clearly do take any interest in history.
