bsrsharma, Of course China wants to achieve it’s ends, any sovereign nation does and is expected to do so, the exception of course is the U.S. . What was really said?
Is it along the lines of we(China, India, Soviets, Japan etc.) are not your true ally, we are not your friend, we shall cripple you and impose our will upon you when we can do so with minimal risk to ourselves?
It’s possible that in the interest of brevity, that so many critical aspects of the Chinese economy, government and their tenuous positions are unadressed in opinions here. I surmise however, that they are not even taken into consideration.
Criticizing the U.S. how completely unoriginal.
You have a low view of America and it’s citizenry – warranted on some counts but undeserved on so many more. Critical thought however, is often mistaken for original and/or creative which it’s not, its more indicative of the true “sheeple” mentality (I saw that term on another thread here, it’s appropriate).
Your comment, how did a people so stupid as Americans get so full of hubris shows quite a lot into your mindset. Honestly, what is stupid is to tell the people that you have no respect for exactly that. Perhaps you suffer from the same flaw.
In any case the “nuclear option” comment, in my opinion, is an empty threat (while I never dismiss any “threat” there is a deeper psychology to them that has to be considered again, I see as ignored here). I can’t help but view this as ham-handed and almost juvenile.
Paul Craig Roberts well….. I’ll be crass, my opinion of him is along the lines of a popular Monty Python quip ” I **** in his general direction” or something to that effect.
Bush and his “cronies”, Clinton and his/her “cronies”, bob007 and his “cronies” to those who continuously bleat along these lines, I suggest that you “kick the dog” one last time and move on, nothing of any value will come of it.
And ultimately validates bsrsharmas opinion of us.
