China's military warns of risk of armed confrontation over seas Personally, I think that if the Philippines hadn't had Amercian Forces removed then this wouldn't have cropped up. |

China's military warns of risk of armed confrontation over seas Oh well, best we dig them old spits up pretty dam quickly, might start needing them again soon. Kor!! might be able to expand our Empire again and take back Hong Kong. Nar, me thinks the Japs might wont that as part and parcel in having to get involved with any fracas with the Chinese. The Japs are rather good at given the Chinese a spanking....Russia to the right of them, Japan to the left of them and America, "straight down the middle - straight down the middle", whilst we sit back and flog 'em all as many arms as we can build. ..and for those who don't know what British satire is, well, you've just read some...

Ah Sirius, I never knew you for a pro-colonial position. And the Brits should never have left Singapore, Hong Kong, or the south of Ireland too, right? China's military warns of risk of armed confrontation over seas |

When I was a kid and most of the map was coloured pink, we had relative peace in the world, and by that I mean in peacetime not counting the WWI & WWII conflicts. The days of the Victorian Empire had gone, and we had the Elizabethan Commonwealth. But in almost every case, and certainly in Africa, when the Brits moved out and left the locals to get on with it, their country went rapidly downhill. ...That's it in a nut shell... What did the Romans ever do for us, taught us how to run an Empire and make it work...at least we never fed anyone to the lions though. The world is in a mess, badly in-need of the British influence but can't see it ever happening again though.

...and look how quickly the U.S.A. collapsed after British occupation left. ;-o just sayin... (Then again, it could be argued that British ownership of the US ensued long after that point in history) #resist |

But, on topic here, I'd hate to see that large lady get frisky with anyone. She could probably roll over and squash any of us... #resist |

but we have a moral duty in doing so to ensure that the country will not be significantly worse off by that move. Ah, the White Man's Burden. What a pile of crock. If they choose to be tribal and have tribal warfare, why is it your concern? You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink. |

Tell that to the President of the United States of America....he would be most interested.
