Sino-American entente

[dead0man]

On one side a country with a outdated millitary and a millitary budget of 40 billion, two-thirds of China's. This country has launched its first invasion in 20 years in a response to the invasion of a region inhabited mostly by Russian citizens, right next to its borders.

errr no Ossetia is 66% Osetian and 30% Georgian...all other groups total up to 5% (including Russians).  Abkhazia is even better, in 1990, before the Russians and Abkhazia killed 30,000 Georgians, Armenians and Greeks and forced another quarter of a million from their homes, it was mostly (46%) Georgian with less than 20% each of  Armenians, Abkhazians and Greeks.  Even today there are twice as many Georgians as Russians.

I'll give you Iraq, but we didn't have a good reason to invade Afghanastan?  Kuwait?

Were you being ironic when you said "peacekeepers"?  You really should have put that in quotes.  Or are you so blinded by bias that you think they really were there to keep the peace?

That link doesn't say what you claim it says (unless I missed it, if I did, feel free to point it out).

But honestly, your obvious hatred of America and her allies makes it seem like debating you on this is kind of pointless.

Look for the red marked word majority.

Thank you.

I'm pretty sure I did point out that some of our recent "acts of aggression" had very good and legit reasons.  I agree with you that America has a much better military than the Russians, that is clear.  What I don't agree with is that's clear that the US and her allies are a bigger threat to China than Russia is.  We certainly aren't historically, where as Russia and China have had issues for a century.  Some of our closer allies (Japan and Taiwan specifically) have some deep issues with the PRC of course, but I don't see how you can think we're in the wrong in defending those places of freedom against the obviously unfree Chinese.  We may very well be a bigger threat to the PRC in 2008 when compared to Russia in 2008, but that doesn't mean we're doing anything wrong.

Like Russians invading Georgia?

I agree, the American Govt is often very very wrong, but the Russian and Chinese govts are substantially worse in every aspect.
