Attention! A war between two world-powers is about to sparkle!

If we start a war with China who is going to make all our cheap crap!? China is our manufacturing bitch, why do we need to send troops over there? To make them sew up our Nikes faster???

Besides, the United States couldn't even afford another war - even if it were
with a small two-men-army country.

I do like Avay's use of the word "sparkle". Makes me think of sequin dresses and birthday crowns for little girls.

Thanks, but I've already had my dosage of pure malarkey for the day. US and China are joined at the hip for the forseeable future. Are you are aware that there was an election that happened in the US and the direction is decidedly in favor of extracting US from senseless wars? Just who are these hawks you are referring to and where is this proof that Washington is preparing for a new war in the Orient?

This joker ranks low even among the goofball propagandists we've seen at this site. The quality of the English is low even given the very low expectation we naturally entertain for this type of rant.

oh, and just like USA...China is also now in a financial contraction...exports are down there, too. They are closing factories left and right. So your info is totally incorrect in so many areas.

Avay has been listening to the anti-America crap his/her government (whichever government that happens to be) has been dishing out and actually believing it. Sad. Sounds like maybe No. Korea or perhaps Cuba or Venezuela. I think that many foreign observers in such countries don't realize or understand that there is no such thing as an "American agenda." When an administration changes (particularly if a party different from the previously ruling party comes to power), foreign policy changes as well. Whatever President Bush and his minions may or may not have wanted, is irrelevant after Jan. 21. (And, no, I don't mean to imply that they ever wanted a war with China, either.)

The US wants a war with China like it wants to be swept by an incurable plague. The focus of President-elect Obama is to wind down military operations in Iraq and to secure the sovereignty of Afghanistan.

I love this guy.

Agreed. On far too many levels this is one highly illogical rant to say the least. One might call this Rama-esque.

Bad as that sounds, I wonder if Chinese accounting is up to the standards of their milk. I think we might be looking at a big problem, here.

We can't even provide the troops needed in Iraq and Afghanistan, and for anyone to suggest we're going to have another war - is insane. China is laughable.

Hey, whatever happed to good old Rama-lama anyway?
Did he fail to make the transmigration?

No, he's been here, alrighty. Difference being that we now have an ignore button, rama likely being the most highly ignored post on the board.

In a fleeting moment of goodwill, I toggled all my ignorandi.
But I still can't recall seeing his stuff lately.

I think he finally took the hint after he was excoriated a few times.

Hint-taking never seemed his strong suit.

Yeah, too true, but this particular session of excoriating sunk in. He hasn't been around since. I could provide the link to what i think did the trick. It had the faint smell of RAID!
