No Apology but Good Thinking

[Unkotare]

How so? I could teach you some basic Mandarin if I thought for one second you were capable of learning. But I've got to be honest about my degree of fluency which has deteriorated significantly over the past decade. or so.

LOL. Easy to see part of your problem. ....

What part?

....
Yes. Eventually they will need to expand. ......

Why do you say that?

Soooo many people? The need for resources? Am I wrong?

The "sooooo many people" problem is going to become the "not enough young people" problem sooner than the PRC would like. Resources can be obtained more easily than wars for territory.

Well, I hope they agree with you.

Evidence suggests so.

I'm AMERICAN, and my Mandarin has gotten pretty bad over the years.

Back-pedaling already? Interesting.

Still waiting to hear where the "back-pedaling" was...

"Still waiting to hear where the "back-pedaling" was...

"if I thought for one second you were capable of learning", I would tell you.

For someone who claims to know so much, I'm surprised you never heard of and/or understood the maxim "you can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar".

Where have I claimed that?

I watched a documentary this morning on the US vs China. Whole lot I didn't know. They are gearing up to take over.

Yes. Eventually they will need to expand. We've known that for a very long time. Unkotare should start offering lessons in Mandarin here.

Explain that. Why do they need to take over Taiwan for example?

They don't and they won't.

You get your intel from ...?

History, Political Science, International Relations, and personal experience.

That's a dodge, not an answer. The documentary I saw puts it into question.

Got a name of the documentary? Was it on television or streaming?

Obviously China is gearing up to expand their presence in the Western Pacific. That's been a trend ever since the Korean War.

idiotic move on the part of Obama-------the japs are LAUGHING

All things considered, what is it you think the "Japs" have to laugh about?

You remind me of a dog chasing its tail. I don't understand why dogs do that, but it's curious to watch.

When you show enough respect to answer questions honestly instead of constantly dodging them, please let me know. I know that's difficult for LW partisans, but I hope you will rise to the challenge of defeating your own biases.

No dodge at all. A very direct answer.

What would "LW partisans" mean to me?

Agreed. My short experience is that he uses that as a major tool.

 

[Divine Wind]

What would "LW partisans" mean to me?

People who lean left of center.

Are you denying being a Left Winger?

If so, what political persuasion to you favor? The IRA?

Of course you do.
