#1 Take with a ton of salt from a Chinese source and a report like this has been around from 2002.

#2 Misleading title. The warning is that if our allies surrender, we might lose.

Well, no shit.g

#3 Any sign of a slow down in the number of Saudis volunteering to direct bombs 'cos they are tired of masturbating?

#4 ...Well, there are allies and there are Allies. Frankly, I think there are maybe about a half-dozen capital A Allies who will be beside us no matter what, and everybody else comes under the lower case group. What everybody should keep in mind is this: if the rest of the world goes down in screaming Dhimmitude, we are not going to roll over without a fight. (Our government and leaders might want to, but the vast majority of the American people will have something else to say about it.) The thing to keep in mind is this - until around 1992, we had contingency plans to use nuclear weapons on NATO territory that had been occupied by the Soviets.
And the Soviets were rational compared to what we face now.

#5 Aside from Oz, I can't think of a single country that would be behind us "no matter what." Nor should they. Nations have permanent interests, not permanent allies. Our interests are generally consonent with those of several other countries, but we would be fools to think they would go anywhere with us.

#6 Fuck off, bk, ya little dipshit. GTFO

It ain't "grain of salt" if The Washington Times reported the same too, just a different source on that original post link. Hell, Robert Crawford got it right.

#10 Besoeker, don't keep pushing, okay?

You're trolling for a permanent ban and frankly the mods aren't in a mood to play escalation games with you today.

And yes, I know you changed IPs and are coming through a RIPE server at the moment.

#11 And, bk just got TROLLed for his racist comment above, which I just noticed.

Come on folks, I know it's a tense time. Lots is going on, lots is at stake. But we do not need - and will not tolerate - that kind of thing here at the Burg.

period.
