#10  Given all this BS about who owns what I just want to know when the Mongols get Persia back.

#9  #8 IMO, while US elites contributed, they can't take ALL the credit. The potential has to have been there in the first place. Otherwise it'd work like nation building in ME/Afghanistan did.

#8  ...made so by the 'best and brightest' of Washington. See, you don't have to be an unwashed punk out to destroy the record of 4,000 years of history and human behavior. You can be a well placed denizen of the ruling caste to just ignore it, for the right price.

#7  Long past time to understand that China is not a Soviet Union with an epicanthic fold. China is a rogue nation like Iran or Nazi Germany - only more dangerous.

#6  hina is picking a fight with everybody! Seems the food shortage and the over abundance of males is really hurting China. So it appears that China is seeking a war to reduce the male populace and alleviate the food shortage as a result.

Waiting to see how this will backfire on the China communist party.

#3  The Koreans owned it first! See the ancient maps where Korea own a really large chunk of what is now northern China. The Chinese claim that the Koreans were vassals (China claims everybody on their borders was a vassal!) so the land is Chinese. Convenient, that...

#2  They apparently want as many distractions and/or opportunities for expansion as possible.
