Well, as a citizen of this Doomed Country I will make sure to translate this fine article and demonstrate it to my fellow orcs of Mordor. It is good to know that elves of The West have such great concern for our future.

It’s good to see yet another expert of my country’s history and military strategy, mr. Moonshine.

Ask the expert anything. You might learn something useful.

It is. That’s one of the many reasons why this article is BS. Another is that their energy production is not declining. They are just starting to frack.

Might be better to say America is doomed.

Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Syria and other countries see who won and have all met with Russia recently and I don't blame them at all as Russia is now in Charge of the World.

Russia just gave Egypt 2 Billion in Military aid.

What a Obama world.

Harsh criticism of the president, whether it comes from Republicans or Democrats, only serves to comfort enemies of the United States, talk show host Joe Scarborough said Wednesday.

Russia doesn’t hava monoploy at throw bodies at the enemy. My father, a Korean War vet, said the Chinese would throw wave after wave to take a hill. The only thing that would save your units life was getting ammo to the machine gunners carried in buckets like water to a fire. It was a mass flow problem of lead vs. human flesh.

China hasn’t changed, except they’re becoming much, much better armed.

Americans cannot buy things in China. They can only “invest” as minority owners.

So in reality, Americans cannot invest in China.

Americans can only look for majority Chinese investors, then log on as minority users. Across the economy.

China is buying, and investing, we are selling out. Both parties are selling out America.

Yet we continue to sell off AMERICAN manufacturing, and further weaken America.

Both parties are selling America out.

Stand up and bring back American manufacturing.

Bring back American work.

That was then. Now, every dead Chinese soldier will have been the ONLY child of some Chinese couple. How long can the Chinese leadership do that before parents, with nothing left to lose, rise up in rebellion?

That policy has recently been repealed, to the best of my knowledge.

Just saying.

That’s why Russian claim to European descent is so ridiculous: they are Asians in every respect but appearance. Fortunately, their fertility rates are nowhere close :)

Kind of like the movie Red Dawn: “There WERE 1.3 billion Chinese.”
