The real stupidity of the USA is they will complain about China wanting world domination, when in fact, the USA has been obsessed with world domination for a long time, and, the end result has been a shift in China's and Russia's views, obviously they had no illusions about the USA's demeanor, it was not cooperation, it was a hell-bent, run down Russia and China with a tar flattener . . . . So obviously they were forced to respond to the US aggression, and don't tell me the US was NOT aggressive when we have military bases all over the world, have taken over what formerly were buffer zones, surrounded both Russia and China with military bases. The real end result came directly because of our run-away obsession with military dominance, idiot assholes in Washington becoming exceedingly rich via pandering to the weapons industry, and in the end these assholes may find out that all the money they made will be useless after the disaster they themselves are likely bringing to fruition. It has been proven time and time again that international cooperation, economic cooperation, intellectual cooperation bring about the greatest good for everyone, but the USA seems to want to get its nose bloodied . . . . Or far worse before it will do the right thing. If you start poking the bear, and taunting the dragon, don't be surprised when you get mauled or burned, it is simple. There is great beauty, intellectual stimulating potential, strength, infinite possibilities inherent in the exploration of other cultures and languages, but if we behave blind to that, close our minds, dream up nightmare scenarios and self-fulfilling prophesies, you can be damn sure, that is exactly what will happen. Unfortunately, everything seems to point toward none of the idiots in Washington waking the hell up from this self-induced nightmare that they have created for themselves and everyone else, so things are bound to get worse before they get better, barring we do not end by extincting ourselves from the planet.
