China Halts All Boeing Deliveries (and More)

[Correll]

/----/ Yes, the Chinese Empire is dying

Oooooh, yeah, they are going down in flames. They really should have cut a deal in the first term, before Trump got really pissed off.


They gambled, on his being an one term fluke. They lost. Now they pay the price.

 

[gipper]

Actually, from what I have read in history, when empires are "dying" , they seek to avoid conflicts that they are not confident they can easily win.

Hence you see the romans cutting deals with tribes of barbarians, instead of crushing them.


Looking at maga, I see an attempt at retrenchment and rebirth.


Time will tell if we are successful or not.

No. Wrong again. Look up the Roman and British empires, to name just two.

How about this…

A brief history of the US Govt the last 35 years

Gulf War - "Killing 500,000 children was worth it"
- Madeline Albright.

Lies about WMDs in Iraq and attacks it, destroying the country.

Destroys Libya- "We came, we saw. he died"- Hillary

Spends trillions and 20 years in Afghanistan-Taliban regains control in one day.

Spends 10 years trying to remove Assad. Then replaces him He is replaces with a known terrorist.

Uses Ukraine in a losing proxy war against Russia causing hundreds of thousands of casualties for the benefit of a few big war corporations.

Helps Israel commit a genocide in Gaza resulting in total destruction and untold casualties.

Tell me about how evil other countries are again?

 

[my2¢]

China ups the ante by cutting off Boeing, rare Earth minerals, and slashing U.S. energy and agricultural goods meanwhile Trump backed off on Chinese tech imports. Winning?

We have chaos and war now.

The Empire is dying. As you must know, throughout history when an empire is dying it often seeks war, in an effort to limit its competitors. It would appear the US is doing exactly this.

Hilarious

The only thing that has died is the republic party.

/—-/ So democRATs won’t have to show up for the midterms to vote.

Do you mean the Republican Party? If so, we can only hope and take the D Party with it, since after all their pretty much the same.

Nations have conflict, YOu look at history that is normal. YOu blaming "the rich" for the normal state of affairs is just conspiracy theory.

And not one of the good kind, but the sad kind where you are trying to make sense of a confusing world, but instead of finding patterns in the chaos, you are fixating on one group you hate, and THEN assuming all patterns are based on that.

Not interesting at all.


THe "no real bird" people are more fun that that.

Rich people profit from wars they seldom fight in.
Why are so many conservatives blind to that history?
Societies that permit investors to profit from mass murder are not moral; they are self-destructive.

"CHAPTER ONE

"War Is A Racket

"WAR is a racket. It always has been.

"It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious.

"It is the only one
international in scope.

"It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the
losses in lives.

"A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of
the people.

"Only a small 'inside' group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit
of the very few, at the expense of the very many.

"Out of war a few people make huge
fortunes."

Why should anyone make a huge fortune from killing, maiming, and displacing millions of innocent human beings?

Interesting. You were tryign to make teh point that we were a "dying empire" and I responded to your point.

Instead of continuing that discussion, you pivot and now are trying to argue against a point that I didn't make, that "other country are evil".

That makes it look like you didn't really care about yoru previous point. Since you dropped it at the first hint of push back. Without comment. YOu didn't conceed, you just moved on to next attack.


That's shit talk. That's you just spamming negs.


Why are you doing that? Who do you hate that you want to just spam negs against them?


Looks like it is AMERICA.

Were you against it, when the Soviets supported with weapons and training, revolutionary movements all over the world?

No. Wrong again. I merely pointed out the many horrendous failures of the empire these past couple decades. As you may know or not, many Americans condemn other countries for atrocities while ignoring their own. Are you guilty of this?

How about this great quote from Carol Quigley?
“The argument that the two parties should represent opposed ideals and policies... is a foolish idea. Instead, the two parties should be almost identical, so that the American people can throw the rascals out at any election without leading to any profound or extensive shifts in policy. Then it should be possible to replace it, every four years if necessary, by the other party which will be none of these things but will still pursue, with new vigor, approximately the same basic policies.”
― Carroll Quigley

What do you think he was talking about?

.....

No, you completely dropped the point that you were discussing, without conceeding anything, and moved on to attack a strawman.

The only constant was that your posts were full of anti-American negs.

So, is that what this is all about to you? YOu here to fight your personal war against AMERICA? And AMERICANS?

Merely trying to help you get informed. I don’t think it’s working, nor do I care.

Nope. That's clearly bullshit.


YOu are here to spam anti-American negs. That's... not good.

What did I state that was anti-American?

HAHAHAHAHA, CLASSIC lefty dodge. Behave clearly one way and when called on it, demand to know when you STATED it.


That's damn close to an admission. You do realize that, right?


Why do you hate America?

So merely stating facts about the American empire makes me a lefty and one who hates America. Do you ever THINK before posting?

nope. I clearly explained that your specific choice of DODGE painted you as a lefty.

In addition, this bit were you refuse to engage seriously or honestly by avoiding my actual point and constantly spamming anti-American negs?


Also point to you being an anti-American lefty.


So, how do you identify, ideologically speaking?

of course not. The only question is what type of nonsense he will post, while continuing to spam anti-American negs.

I supported Soviet support for national liberation movements because Western imperialism was and still is a symptom of white supremacy.
