Not as a parting shot, but food for thought: If you had to choose to trust the Russians or the Chinese, would you?
If I had to choose between the Russians, Chineese and Americans to trust. I would trust none….
I understand this triad of “semi- super power” to “superpower” is the crux for you. I don’t have an answer. I don’t think we need to be doing some of the things we are doing to deal with balance between the three and in fact I think we are probabaly raising the odds that we will find out how “untrustwothy” they are more than helping.
I will say this though. Clean fuel isn’t going to stop us form “protecting” the oil and gas in Iran and Iraq…not until China’s aquisition of those same resources would be a lot more irrelevant than it is today. This would be if the future follows the conventional path.
I am actually sometimes concerned about China and The U.S waging war, or at least some types of war, on the populations of both and other parts of the world, in cahoots. this is just an idea that occurs from time to time. It might be happening already.Anyway You understand where my trust level is at.
On that note I think I’ll go check out 1984 again.
