Haha. I believe in realistic diplomacy and engagement.
Badass behavior always backfires. Badass talk is even worse when there is no follow through. BTW, I still believe that Trump didn’t know who the president of the Republic of China was.
What has the US done to advance democracy in Asia?
The Chinese are pushing full speed ahead with Road and Belt, a massive project that the American public knows little about. And the Chinese love Trump because Hillary would be more troublesome for them. China is working on a second high speed rail to Tibet.
Tibet is gone, slow and steady genocide and assimilation have been in progress over the last 65 years.
Weep? This is raw human nature at its very best. The arrival of Homo Sapiens in Europe meant the complete extinction of the Neanderthals. The moment mankind shows up in Americas and Australia, mass extinction occurred. When the Europeans arrived in Americas, genocide and enslavement of the native population ensued. The Chinese are just doing what human beings do best. Brian, give your fellow brother a hearty slap on the back for a job well done.
