China seeks military base in south America

[pknopp]

Population size is meaningless with today's technology. It it not like we would need to invade the country

The first Chinese bomb that hits an American city, we lose.

I think that might be the one action they could take that could overcome the partisan divide in this country

 

[Mac-7]

Exactly. We can't win.

Correct

No one wins a nuclear war

And no matter how evil you think America is, its not our goal to nuke anyone

Our nuclear weapons are for deterrence

And so far they have deterred china from starting a nuclear war because of our ability to destroy them in return

So if we go to war with china over taiwan it will be a conventional war

A war that will not happen either if we and our allies remain strong

 

[Mac-7]

India would love to help bring us down.

Where do libs come up with such crazy ideas?

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Equatorial Guinea is on the West Coast of Central Africa.

I wonder why the OP thought it was in South America. Even the article calls it a "small African nation"

China has nukes as a deterrence too...

Most countries who have nukes -- have it as a deterrence...

Which is why the only countries we tend to invade are countries whom we ALREADY KNOW has nukes......

Furthermore, these countries who have nukes have more reason to fear them being used on them than we do -- because we are the only country have used them on others

Where do libs come up with such crazy ideas?

Don't you folks always complain about how our jobs are being "outsourced" to 3rd world countries??

Do you honestly think India wouldn't want to see America come down a notch or two -- especially when the end result is them moving up a notch or two??

That is how competition in the marketplace works.....

India has a ton of people in poverty. They can't just print money like we can. They are going to be with China and other countries to undermine the dollar.

China and India are not really the best of buds. I suspect India would love to see the two big boys on the block hurt each other while they reap the rewards. They have nothing to gain by joining either side

We have no real allies any longer.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

We have no real allies any longer.

Are we a "real ally" to anyone?

 

[pknopp]

Are we a "real ally" to anyone?

No. Our only friend is $$$$.

In that case why are libs around here wetting their pants in fear of being nuked by china?

You all must think china has a death wish

And will use their nuclear weapons at the slightest provocation

I dont

If America and our allies show weakness or extreme fear of china that becomes the CCP’s invitation to invade taiwan

In fact there is growing support for the independence of taiwan

Which libs and globalists should not shirk away from

 

[Mac-7]

We have no real allies any longer.

For libs that hate America as much as ours do its easy to think that we have no allies with common interests to our own

Or if not a burning love for America that borders on friendship, you’d be amazed by how many nations fear the sinister intentions of china more than they do the US[/QUOTE]

Whether or not two countries at times have common interests does not really make them allies. We had common interests with Iraq for awhile.

Sinister intentions? As pointed out earlier, what wars has China started?

 

[Mr Natural]

And? The US has bases all over the world.

Yeah, but we’re the Good Guys.

China is evil (except for their cheap labor of course).

...you’d be amazed by how many nations fear the sinister intentions of china more than they do the US

Why would anyone be amazed at that?

Sinister intentions? As pointed out earlier, what wars has China started?

Ask Vietnam
Ask Tibet
Ask India
Ask Russia

Sinister intentions? As pointed out earlier, what wars has China started?

The conquest of Tibet

And Taiwan may be next

Over the past 4 centuries china has been too weak for foreign conquest

But thanks to globalist in the west china now has the power to bully other nations

 

[Mac-7]

Why would anyone be amazed at that?

Because many people are not informed
