China is the one with a real game plan. They actually build things when they choose to exploit another nation's resources...sort of like we used to do.

as well as ham-fisted.

Theres an article called "The world, by China" that was recently put out. Its a very interesting read.

21st century geopolitics is about securing access to diminishing resources and secure living space...sound familiar? There's going to be a couple of billion people dispaced by global warming and rising sea levels in the next thirty or fourty years.

Thats life. We cant stop the other two from trying to dominate, so we're stuck trying to do the same.

China envisions a vast global network of trade, investment and infrastructure that will reshape financial and geopolitical ties — and bring the rest of the world closer to Beijing.

It is a modern-day version of the Marshall Plan, America’s reconstruction effort after World War II, which created a foundation for enduring military and diplomatic alliances. China’s strategy is bolder, more expensive and far riskier.

Its money doesn’t necessarily come with the usual rules. And the cost, for China and its borrowers alike, can sometimes be too high.

We examined nearly 600 projects that China helped finance in the last decade, through billions of dollars in grants, loans and investments. Taken together, they show the scope and motivation of China’s strategy.

Thanks for mentioning this article os.

nematode occupying the White House is "failing to counter Moscow's efforts to undermine democracy and cast doubt on U.S. alliances".

There are 3 countries in this world that most of the OTHER countries will align themselves with; The US, russia & China. If we pull out of everywhere, the other two will fill the void. And when THEY have the most control, then they will also control US

That illegitimate person in the WH prefers dictators and killers.

It seems everybody except this grade school excuse for a President can see the effects of Russia’s meddling in the world. Brexit, Catalonia, South America.....

This treasonous occupant of the Oval Office is letting them run rampant to the point where Putin can state that liberalism is dead. Why? Because he’s got enough dirt on Trump to move with ease and no fear of repercussion.

Underestimating? Wrong choice of words.

Remove Trump from the equation and the problem still persists.

republicans are the jerks who put a five-time draft-dodging casino hustler in charge. Stupid. Very stupid.

And a plastic facsimile of a Nobel Prize swinging on a chain from his neck.

:gag:

The 21st century will belong to the Chinese, with Russia riding their coattails.

then russia...

then......THE WORLD!!!....

I wish other countries would realize stumpy is a bs artist..the worthless handjob
is all talk and no walk...
