Welcome to the Post-America World, folks. It's going to be a much more dangerous place.
Anyone who even listens to the Chinese thugs is an idiot. Is Hagel stupid enough to treat their comments as sincere?
Also the consequence of being debt over our ears.
From China’s US Ambassador:
At a seminar in New York, China’s ambassador to the United States Cui Tiankai said Washington needed to think hard about the purpose of its military presence in Asia and whether its political agenda and those of its Asian allies were the same.
He spoke of the need to move away from “outdated alliances” and warned against any attempt to create an Asian version of the NATO Western military alliance to contain China.
“If your mission there is to contain some other country, then you are back in the Cold War again, maybe,” he said. If your intention is to establish an Asian NATO, then we are back in the Cold War-era again. This is something that will serve nobody’s interest, it’s quite clear.”
China feeling Hagel out to see if he’s willing to sellout South Korea, Taiwan, and Japan to Chinese aggression.
Bet Hagel lost face in their eyes.
Idiot Hagel actually said we should not be put in a position where we have to choose between China and Japan!
Welcome to the Post-America World, folks. It's going to be a much more dangerous place.
And it will be the fault of the President that succeeds Obama.
Just you wait...

Maybe one of the contributing factors was this stupid ass idea to brief China on our cyber warfare capabilities and our roadmap going forward to thwart cyber attacks and thinking the Chicom's would reciprocate?
This simply cannot be! Doesn’t everyone love us, simply because we “elected” The One????
and China is invited to join this year’s RIMPAC.....
We have been slashing the military for 5 years. Morale is destroyed. Troop and retiree benefits are being cut or Hagel is threatening to cut them. The world will explode and we will have done ourselves in.
I would love to hear Rummy tee off on some ChiCom nitwit.
The next couple of decades are probably going to involve a military showdown with China over regional dominance. At the current time the PLA isn’t in a position to significantly deter or challenge U.S. intervention in Asia, but they’re busily toiling away in that eventual direction.
The only question is whether perpetual weakness from the U.S. and repeatedly unanswered challenges from China will encourage a few hotheads amongst the party to gamble on overt action before the PLA has sufficient resources to walk-the-walk.
Here’s the deal in China. All who look like Chinese are Chinese and must be citizens of China (nearly all of east Asia). Then, the West must pay for colonizing China. British Empire of yesterday, western culture nations—all the same.
Surely the chicoms know that when Hagel was in the Army, he didn’t have a good grip on Buck Private. Forrest Gump is a military genius compared to him.

The Chinese have this idea that they own the US now. I wonder why???
