Trade between China and USA dwarfs Taiwan's. Taiwan is more important in terms of geopolitical strategy. And a destination for the sale of arms, you're right in that regard.
exactly, a "one china" is a national threat to the united state hegemony over the world. also, expect anti indian bashing to start soon within the next 15-20 years. i can guarantee it.

Pre WW2 hegemony was with England. Post WW2 hegemony was with USA. The cold and vietnam wars and the war on terrorism and afganistan was an attempt to re-establish it. The hegemony is shared between USA and china at the moment. U r right with india being the next power, but it has been overlooked by the rest of the world. But i don't think that it will have the power to over take china until another 30years. But do we expect that there will be a war between china and the USA over the worlds number one role, or how will it play out.

i agree completely with you, the most likely scenario is simply a continuation of these proxy wars, however unlikely though it is if the two nations did choose to obliterate each other the most likely vehicle would be arming a separatist or terrorist group with a WMD.

ITT moral relativism "human rights are a silly Western notion because the societal conformity of the Chinese population is more important than human lives!"

The motto of the Communist Government of Cambodia (Pol Pot), which Communist China supported, till Communist Vietnam obliterated such an affront to humanity: "To keep you is no benefit, to destroy you is no loss."

Yes, let us bask in the humanitarian glory of Motherland China!

In 2004, I read a book published in 1982 on Nostradamus. It stated that he predicted that these olympics would be the games of death. It also said something about Russia getting bombed by fusion bombs. Ill check the exact words on Monday. Creepy if anything worse happens.

When I was a kid I wrote hundreds of stories that could be read as an allegory to the 9/11 attacks and other world events. I must be a prophet!

Freaky...

Yeah let me know how that works out for you, what with fusion bombs not being used these days for anything other than a deterrent because conventional bombs are cleaner, more controllable and all, let alone Russia not being at war with anybody of consequence.

Russia can get the fuck out of Georgia, and China can get the fuck out of Taiwan.
The PRC doesn't have troops in the RoC smart guy. But if you are asking most of the population to get out of the RoC, I would say that won't happen as most of the population in Taiwan is Chinese as are the government. :)

Russia has mad balls man. :eek:
The Georgian's are attacking their citizens and they respond. They sent the tanks in. I remember when Australian and American citizens as far as Tripoli, Lebanon were being bombed by Israeli jets, we didn't get so much of a peep from Bush on the issue. Instead he implored countries he was hostile to, to find a solution for his problems, rather than condemn, or be as brazen as the Russians to retaliate and defend their people.

I'm not going to be overly critical. The government agencies did a wonderful job, and did everything they could to get them back home and safe. But politically, not a peep.

Either way, Russia is in the right here. Just as we in Australia would not accept the needless deaths of 2,000 of our citizens, the mighty Russia will not accept it either.

I'm so proud, proud to see this world may finally see justice once more. The glorious Russians and Chinese which erased Nationalism, and Nazism at great expense in the Second World War, one small conflict at a time is doing the same again. As they assert their dominance in the world and in their regions, one can only look on with admiration.

One World, seems to be the slogan of progressive people in the 21st Century.

Hey Sam, want romanticised revisionist history books do you read? Or in your case, blogs/websites/internet forums/youtube videos?

You just read my mind.


I read the exact same thing too.


I didn't think something like this would actually happen.

Russia is simply looking out for the ideals that we communists hold dear. Democracy is the greatest evil ever seen, and the superpowers must do all in their power to stop its cancerous spread.

Seems like USA won't just be mum about the situation. USA has vested interests in Georgia because the pipeline are said to run through Georgia to decrease dependency on Middle-East oil and bypass Russia.

But how far will USA go to protect its' interests? UN called for Russia to pull back troops yesterday, and Russia refused to.
