America Surrendered: Do You Speak Chinese?

[nicholasstanko]

Why the fuck is it that every single foreign affairs debate in the US always ends up talking about war, and who would beat who in a battle. You guys completely miss the point.

How did i miss any point? Pisshead showed an article that specifically cites military interests and capabilities of the chinese government. I hate how it always comes down to war too but...damn man...lookit what's going on. Talking about war is inevitable.

This thread is starting to sound like a playground conversation:

"My big brother can beat up your big brother"

"Oh yeah, well my big brother is learning karate and will be able to beat your brother up real soon"

"Nu uh, my big brother will still be stronger"..................

Funny thing, neither big brother has any intention of fighting the other.

you cant be that crazy though...not crazier than who's in charge.

I'm not crazy. My point isn't that each country isn't ready to go to war if it were to happen. Sure every country has its spies and all kinds of plans for what it would do if the shit were to hit the fan. My point is that neither country wants to go to war. We in the U.S tend to think of China as this crazy, evil communist regime that's just waiting for the opportunity to turn the world commie. Hell, Pisshead seems to believe that they're already doing it covertly. That's just not true. No more true than England having plans to turn the entire world into tea drinkers with bad teeth. Like most countries China is focused on internal matters: it's economy, healthcare, crime, etc. Not world domination.
