Your both are so wrong on so many fronts its hard to accommodate an answer to. Economically, geopolitically and what an empire, (as in economic power) is all about.

I don't feel Wayne its of any use to play ping pong with you as we have about the notion of evil Putin and his government and what the Ukrainian conflict is all about that is the real geopolitical truth. I've given more than enough factual account for what that is, with the help of those sources I use. That you can dismiss it with just personal experiences and relationships and articles written that reflect the manipulations of government to sway public opinion. It's about what is to be expected from anyone that with such a narrow framework of subjective feelings and our commercial journalism which does not do justice to their ethical standards.

China Bruce is an example of empire that has no ambitions of being a sole hegemonic sovereign state that our country has done. That they have literally pulled themselves out of abject poverty to the level they've attained just in our lifetimes is an accomplishment never realized before in human history. They interact with nations on a win win relationship. They do not bully, provoke or sanction or war monger as our country does historically and to this day. Taiwan to them is part of their territory just as Puerto Rico is to us. Maybe they should start arming that island and put their troops there. Or Cuba! Maybe they should start sending warships into the Gulf of (MEXICO) to antagonize our government. They had purchased the ports in Panama fair and square and had updated them. Why can't other nations branch out into the world as the United States has done with impunity?

The fact is you two is that this country of ours is a basket case of its own doing. Its our economic system that has financialized to the point that it is eating away at itself like a parasite. And we can't keep up in the world to the nations that we had tried to use their cheap labor to further enable our financial free lunch with our monopoly with the dollar that we use to punish with.

But we still have this Pollyanna notion we're the sole arbiter of freedom and democracy. We aren't! Either one. We are a war mongering, selfish and arrogant nation of wealthy elites that call the shots. We the people have no influence what-so-ever.
