Agree with his post and opinion. I also agree with Ray, those are good links...

As an aside, Bill Moore, there has been discussion in this thread about China taking the Philippines (among other...

If that's based on US media and 'culture' as exported, that is totally understandable if erroneous. If it's based on what diplomats and politicians says, it is only slightly less so. If it is based...

We have a 'rule' of thirds and three. The thirds are 1/3 of Americans will agree with any given war; 1/3 will disagree with that war and the remaining 1/3 will support it if its going well and will...

Images mean little -- and the US has never worried overmuch about theirs (regardless of the occasional sniveling in our rather pathetic news media who must sell something)... ;)Economic cycles are...

Reading the entire article, I now see where you drew your inference...:wry:

There's no doubt we are in one of our many periods of decline. A few have been major, most were minor. How this one...

In reverse order, that may or may not be true; it's been predicted -- wrongly -- before but it's bound to happen sooner or later. :wry:

It has been my experience that Mr. Kaplan, his namesakes...

It's also notable that many Hispanic Americans can be equally passionate and gung ho. We're not nearly as populous as India but we have an amazing diversity and it is extremely difficult to...

That's partly true -- but, like many of your assertions regarding what you've read and 'discerned' of the US of A, Inc. it is far from totally so... :rolleyes:

True, I do -- but that wasn't an example. I do happen to agree with you on a great many things. There are a few, though, OTOH...:wry:Of course. ;)

Ad Hom it certainly was -- but not dirty IMO. I can get dirty but rarely do -- here. :wry:

As for something substantial, I thought I did provide that -- I simply said the Blogger's opinions were...

It's operated by a bunch of wannabe's whose greatest claim to fame is that they can rouse rabble...

That's merely one guys interpretation of the NMS / CJCS comments and his writings are not the...

Have to again agree with Wilf. The Chinese and most Asians are really pretty straightforward. They are just far more patient than westerners and they talk less than -- or do not think out loud like...

and a local China scholar -- and that's just two of whom I happen to be aware. With about six years in the Orient to bounce against my two in the ME, I'm pretty well convinced that in the ME, things...

Secret because they just found out about it? Threaten? How so, how does a base threaten? Seems like the Subs could but I'm unsure how a base does...
