The Chinese are like the bugs in the Starship Troopers movie. I confess I haven't read the book, I hear it has important differences. They aren't going to stop. There's just going to be more of them. They're getting more technically sophisticated. It's not going to be a better time to smash their globalist ambitions tomorrow. One day it'll be too late though.

I agree with a lot of what you say about the right, but who cares why. China needs to be opposed.

I don't necessarily disagree with you, but I hate our own myopia and hypocrisy on the subject of "global ambitions".

We're not even sure how to run our own country, but we're certain about how everyone else should run theirs.

I read an article the other day about China thinking about establishing a naval base on the African west coast. Oh noes! A single Chinese naval base only a thousand miles from the US!!! What kind of country would do such a thing?!?!?!

We have literally over 50 military bases all over the planet. We still have a massive air force base in northern Greenland, just in case the Soviets think of invading. The extreme cold makes it extremely expensive to run and resupply. Several of our other bases are nearly within eyeshot of the Chinese mainland.

But we're using our military power for good? Right? That's why everyone loves us, right?

Please avoid name calling, it's against site wide rules.

know nothing bigot

China just disappeared a world famous Tennis player because she dared mention a party boss raped her. You want your women passed around by the politburo before your wedding night in feudal age fashion?

This is entirely too much like the beginning of WW2. Capitulation to expansionism is just going to bite us in the ass.

Oh, the hypocrisy of one of the site's most consistent rule violators saying that.

I'm pretty sure I hardly ever break the rules, I don't even make the list for the top 10 most reported users here.

Xi's China are the xenomorphs. American globalists and neocons are the Weyland-Yutani Company.

One is your enemy, the other was created by your enemy.

Sure, good analogy. So obviously, we side with the greedy humans instead of the aliens with acid blood.

Always on the side of the powerful.
