Guest Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 USA's rivalry with China is going to continue to grow and we in Western Europe will be encouraged by USA to take their side in that rivalry. Whether we should do that or not and the merits of each side is an interesting discussion, I think. So aye, I gave it a read. It's only loosely related to the Russian slaughter in Ukraine, though, so I'm not saying lets have another 10 pages of it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The false equivalence between Taiwan and Algeria, Ethiopia and Kaliningrad is laughable. You also never specified you were only talking about international courts that deal with marine issues rather than international courts writ large. Also, what does this have to do with Russia? I never claimed China should be able to what it wants with regards to the South China Sea. As for “tossing the toys out the pram”, you seem to be the only doing so because America is being criticised. The fact the occupation of Hawaii and Guam started before international courts existed doesn’t matter considering the occupations continue to this day. I doubt people in the region ,Vietnam and Indonesia especially, think that it’s “better the devil you know” when it comes to the US. Maybe if Pelosi didn’t visit Taiwan and if Blinken hadn’t cancelled a trip to China because of a balloon the situation between the US and China wouldn’t be so intense. Both sides have done things to provoke these tensions but you would have to be very biased to suggest it’s China that is the party mainly at fault, considering the trade war was started by the US and the almost constant anti Chinese sentiment put out by the US media. I shouldn’t bother responding but, Indonesia have clearly stated they do not want to be party to any of the shit between China and US and have been the only country to really take a military stand against China. Vietnam have been much closer to the US for years. Chinas actions in the region have been going on for a long time now and pre-date any of the more recent trade war. It’s not as simple nor recent as you wish to paint it. And again, the US are a huge problem, but you should be a little more concerned about China. Look at them like the arse cheeks of the Old firm. They are both detestable. Anyway. Back to the Russia/Ukraine thingy or much more importantly figuring out what constitutes a tank! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
