I guess one good thing that may come out of this is that when China crushes the uprising, anyone who can think clearly will see China for the regime that it is. It will actually win support for Trump’s position on China.

Nazis? More recently, I've considered how it is that China become such an economic powerhouse, and the answer is quite simply, the USA. Or maybe it was Bill Clinton. Below is part of a post I made elsewhere, and edited it somewhat for this thread. In the early 90's China started welcoming American companies into China to build factories and set up manufacturing, and everybody involved made tons of money, and you had to ask yourself, why was China suddenly allowing this? And was Clinton a genius? Fast forward 20 years, and it becomes clear that China was allowing this so that they could appropriate all kinds of tech, manufacturing know-how, and industry for themselves without actually having to develop it out of nothing like the rest of the world did. Stealing tech, selling counterfeit products, supporting North Korea's nuclear ambitions, these were all warning signs that the rest of the world ignored until it started biting them in the ass, and at that point it was too late.Oh, and by the way, looks like they are going to get a "better grip" on Hong Kong, is Taiwan next? Also, in their tariff response to the US, they are specifically targeting swing states that Trump could lose. How's that for interfering in an election? If we didn't like Russian interference, we shouldn't like this, or else we are hypocrites. In reality, there is nothing that can be done about Hong Kong unless war is on the table, and it's not. The US has been scared of China since Viet Nam, and China has gotten slightly more dangerous since then. They are going to do whatever the hell they feel like now, and nobody will do anything about it. And you can thank Bill Clinton, George Bush and Obama for doing absolutely nothing about it as the storm clouds started forming. Trump is too late, but at least he's forced China to reveal some of their ambitions.

1) north korea would never, never, never take any role that the United States gave them or wanted them to perform and it's silly to suggest such a thing. north korea HATES the US like an islam terrorist. 2) You've mistakenly used the word "logic" in a sentence regarding north korea. One day you will realize that some types of people have no logic. None. That's because their cheese has slid off their cracker, if you know what I mean. So get some time in. Maybe read about how Britain's Chamberlain got Germany to sign a peace treaty and then proclaimed "peace in our time". Again, with some folks, there is only deception, lies, bullying and hate.

Churchill, a vampire? The internet is allowing sadly obsessed and deluded sick people to spread complete nonsense, and network with other obsessed sick people. I can only hope that one day the internet will have restricted access with a simple test built into all access points/software. Seriously.

The thread title is a shrieking platitude.

Hmm, I could have sworn that it was little nonsense only. Big nonsense would be reserved for the style of governments that allow them to kill their people at will or lock them up for speaking out against said government.

How quickly people forget. Obama threatened that Syria had crossed a red line when they gassed their own people. Syrian kids on the ground, like for real dude. Apart from stepping back from Israel, Obama decided to sign some kind of treaty allowing Iran to develop nuclear technology, and they'll have nukes within a couple of years, just like North Korea. The most immoral thing the US ever did was to sign a treaty with North Korea in which they gave them 2 nuclear reactors and 5 billion in return for a promise to not develop nuclear weapons. I simply hope that the two idiots that made this happen, Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter, both are alive when NK tries to nuke the US. Way to go fellas, thanks for the new terror threat.

Obama HAD the lead in Syria. He gave it up and let Russia begin bombing runs, etc. Russia then started bombing American interests in Syria. Obama decreasing American interests in the Mid East, and at the same time having a stormy relationship with Israel, their main ally in the Mid East, was a momentous change. Hopefully one can see that regardless of personal bias.

Yeah, I'm wondering if his life might be at risk for making this movie. My wife and I saw it too, and thought it was the best non-action movie this year. We laughed out loud on several occasions as well. The line, "We lost 19 of our best", was hilarious and standing up to bigotry at the same time. Which is a good approach to describing what this movie is. It's part drama. it's part witty comedy. it gives a glimpse of life in a muslim family, and the clash of cultures. Very original.

Gosh. Obama let Putin get away with invading the Ukraine, and taking the lead in Syria. For the love of pete, get some perspective, man.

Thanks, but she beat cancer. She also beat an aneurysm. She's one of those that just keeps on ticking!
