| Spengler: The Sino-American comedy of errors |
| 2014-11-13 |
| Everything in tragedy happens for a reason, and the result always is sad; most things in comedy happen by accident and the outcome typically is happy. Sino-American relations are not destined for conflict, although that is possible. The misunderstandings that bedevil relations between the world’s two most powerful countries remain comedic rather than tragic. That probably is as good as it gets, for no amount of explanation will enable Chinese and Americans to make sense of each other. |

| #2 Did you ever hear "Never attribute to malice what can be explained by stupidity"? Champ's foreign policy explained in ten words. |

| #1 Iff the US under Globalist POTUS Obama is now in a MSM-Net verified, de facto state of Detente' or "Mutual Co-Existence" wid fellow Globie-desired OWG "Co-Superpower" Iran, then its prolly safe to say ditto as per CHINA + PUTINIST RUSSIA, etc. Co-Superpowers to come. * Once again, TOPIX > CHINA HAS NOW ASSUMED "GREAT POWER" STATUS. Historically, newbie Great Powers often try to prove or validate their new status by engaging in various MilPol aggressive behaviors or actions, most notably via fighting Wars. China has several issues to permanently settle before she can feel comfortable being a new "Great Power" andor "Co-Superpower", namely strategic access into WESTPAC vee JAPAN = East China Sea, + Taiwan reunification; + SOPAC, vee South China Sea + ASEAN Nations. Can now also China's desire for access into the Indian Ocean Region [IOR] vee several land + ocean "bridges" or corridors. THE ABOVE BEING SAID, GLOBALISM = NO ONE HAS YET ANSWERED OR PRECRIBED HOW MUCH IS "TOO MUCH", OR HOW FAR IS "TOO FAR", ETC. FOR THE REMAINING COLD WAR "SOLE" SUPERPOWER USA TO UNILATER GIVE UP AROUND THE WORLD TO NEWBIE "CO-SUPERPOWERS" + OWG GLOBAL FED UNIONS, SO THAT THE LATTER CAN RISE TO GLOBIE-DESIRED "PARITY"??? Perhaps like good Politicos, we'll have to PCorrectly-Deniably wait until after the shooting wars begin to slowly but begrudgingly find out. |
