PattyO is a special kind of stupid isn’t he. It isn’t about being ‘friends’, it is about the much greater implication on us if a regional war breaks out there. It is cheaper and easier on us to remain that firewall.
it is about the much greater implication on us if a regional war breaks out there. It is cheaper and easier on us to remain that firewall.Why should we spend borrow from China billions of dollars to provide for South Korea's defense?
If North Korea invades South Korea, how does that threaten the U.S.?
Why is there an implication that the U.S. must be involved in that war?
What is stupid is the assumption that America must expend blood and treasure on behalf of other countries.
Never mind the claim that Maos China gave up world revolution for state capitalism . . . pure ignorance. China is all over Africa and South America trying to spread communism (Monroe Doctrine long dead), and state capital(ism) is a
fundamental part of communism per the Manifesto (Plank 5 clearly
dictates the (c)entralization of credit in the hands of the state by means of a national bank with
state capital and an exclusive monopolyso anyone claiming that what China is practicing in terms of economy really deviates from the Manifesto is either ignorant or deluding oneself).
Playing nice with China is why we still have North Korea. Pulling the wool over Nixons eyes by making him believe there was some sort of rift between Mao and the USSR was one of the most transparent diversionary tactics by the communist bloc, yet the man fell for it hook, line and sinker. As Sun Tzus book
The Art Of War clearly
states, All war is based on
deception . . . yet if you read the Manifesto, the tactics are blatantly visible for anyone to see and the efforts at deception were not very elaborate. Furthermore, the worst thing to happen during the Korean War was the firing of General MacArthurhe was following one of the chief precepts of
The Art Of War, that being the fact that (i)f fighting is sure to result in victory,
then you must fight, even though the ruler forbid it . . . even worse, it was Red China who attacked
us, and it made us seem utterly gutless to curtail our retaliation, never mind completely against George Washingtons admonition that it must be known that we are at all times ready for
war (lest anyone forget Washingtons special designation not merely as a prominent Founding Father but indeed the Father Of Our Country).
It is cheaper and easier on us to remain that firewall. You've got a point. But as a nation we have gone way, way beyond bankrupt. So perhaps old Frederick has a point also.
