Why is it anti-American? Being delusional on foreign policy is not pro-American. Not so long time ago Russia was like 90% pro-American. Guess what changed?

To think of all the blood spilt ,

only to have another Asian overlord on your islands.

What were they thinking asking China for help ?

Maybe they need more shell bomb craters , rusting armament and unexploded ordinance.

SMDH.

LOL. I expected this simplistic answer and had to preempt it because it exactly expresses the delusions I was talking about. What exactly is wrong with Putin and why exactly to you think a guy like him emerged?

This article is about China and the Pacific. Do you just generally want America destroyed by totalitarian enemies, or do you have a brain aneurysm that has you infatuated with Putin?

If you don’t want America to get destroyed then you should tell them to stop making enemies out of particularly friendly people.

What peaceful country had NATO invaded? Ukraine was not going to invade Russia and neither would NATO. Russia is a nuclear power nobody is going to invade them.

China on the other openly threatens to invade Taiwan, has been battling India over their border for decades, continues to build man made islands to gain territory, has a dispute with the Philippines over islands etc. China is not a peaceful nation and once again has zero need for a base on the Solomon islands.

By the way all though I am no expert I spent several years working the Chinese mission as an Intel analyst so I do know a little about the China threat.

You are framing people in a bad light.

Do I like it that China is settimg up a base?

No.

But people everywhere, of all political stripes, say “So tbe U.S. has hundreds of bases but freaks out over this?”

Do I like China having this base? Again, no.

But I don’t want WW3 over a base? H to the no.

And Solomon Islands undoubtedly will tell the U.S. that they don’t own them.

Yugoslavia, Libya to start with.
And if you think Ukraine is not a threat to Russia then you weren’t an intelligence analyst at all.

I’m an American what filth country are you aligned with?
You want me to tell “them” (America) something?
I’d tell America to rearm and not to rest until Putin is dead and rotting.
Is that what you had in mind, punk?

NATO bombed Libya, offensively, when Obomber got us into that mess over unproven allegations that Gaddafi was going to kill 10k of his own people.

LOL. It is getting funnier with each post. Did Putin bang your wife or what? I doubt if he can at this age.

I think some of you don’t identify as Americans. Libya, among other things, blew up an airliner full of Americans and others.

I don’t know how to tell you this subtly, but if you don’t understand that we have enemies and that they mean us harm, if you see moral equivalence with China, Russia, Libya, Syria- you have your head up your butt.

Watch it with the personal attacks. Settle down and stop beimg overemotional as it’s clouding your judgment.

1.) You have to get rid of all hypocrisy for starters on global affairs for starters. Ambiguity isn’t the problem, hypocrisy is.

2 ) The desire for world empire or world control, even by America, is totalotarian in nature and is anti-American.

3.) You are supporting Obummer by supportimg his invasion and you try to justify his lie by pointing to an airliner being blown up.

4.) Supporting lies and a bombing and hypocrisy oover NATO’s no offensive wars charter because of sonethimg else leads to more of the same anf makes you a moral relativist. That’s not conservative.

5.) Your last lines in your post don’t justify your hodgepodge of excuses beforehand.

You are clearly not a true conservative. But have a good day, Obama defender.

Their actions right now are pretty clear in what they’re telling us all.

Amd bad as it is you don’t get to tell Solomon Islands what to do either.

See ya around...
