China treating Uighur Muslims like Tibetans?
#19
RE: China treating Uighur Muslims like Tibetans?
We didn't have that economy when we started out down that road though (and a huge part of the reason that we had an economy whereas others did not is that we'd been busily destroying their infrastructure for a few years). Again history offers us a shitty glimpse of the difference between our ideals and our reality. What you're talking about would be a bit like a new cold war, eh? That didn't go well for the soviets, and I have to say, in some way we didn't exactly let their system work out, did we? Subversion is part of our arsenal, after all. Granted, the boot could always find itself on the other foot.

I hope you don't think that anything regarding a nuclear strike has anything to do with what I want, I'm just reminding you that it's something that we can do. If we found ourselves in a position where we were trying to force an engagement on our own terms some future state of world affairs would likely be back boiler stuff. Just like last time. If we're trying to engineer that situation - we're already in trouble.

I've always wondered if the strategists of other nations actually think that our nukes aren't a threat, or if that's just us projecting our (as in you and I) own best intentions where they don't belong. If China thought it was in their best interests to match us, they would have by now. They went another route. I don't think that anyone has such a high opinion of our brass and politicians that they've ruled out the possibility of a repeat performance. Every time someone we don't like tries to build a nuke we go schizoid on their ass. I think that the world at large knows that we hold that particular item as a bargaining/bullying piece. The threat is implied, at all times, as it was to the soviets during the cold war. How do you think the US would respond if China started upping their arsenal this very minute?
