    As usual, your ranting is just for the ranting...

    What are the facts for you? You know it all without any source...

    Not enough facts to see nowadays?

    Breaking up the USSR was a long, expensive and bloody affair, while China will be more resistant to promises of democratic heaven.

    When the time comes I wonder how orderly the EU exits.

    I think the important question is:

    What are we going to do to stop the pangolin-gobbling chinkies spreading more diseases?

    You consider " . . which you will leave unsourced as usual" a rant? . Good God . . . you really are a bit dense.

    Here you go, remedial English 101:

    "rant/rant/
    ]verb: rant; 3rd person present: rants; past tense: ranted; past participle: ranted; gerund or present participle: ranting



    • speak or shout at length in an angry, impassioned way.
      "she was still ranting on about the unfairness of it all"

    https://www.google.com/search?q=definition+if+arant&oq=definition+if+aran t&aqs=chrome..69i57j0l7.2684j1j9&sourceid=chrome&i e=UTF-8

    The 'rant' seems far more apropos to your verbal vomit

    But again, you've obfuscated and deflected without addressing who these 'according to some observations' people of influence, knowledge and respect are.

    Qed . . .

    FOK

    Yes, but the important question is:

    What are we going to do to stop the civet-chewing chinkies spreading more diseases?

    Nothing, can't be done. It's ingrained in their culture and if the all-powerful communist party can't control it then it can't be controlled.

    Quite easy to answer your own question, just pretend you asked it during the SARS era.

    For those still stuck, the answer is posture and rhetoric sandwiched by thick slices of little consequence.

    There are different nations with their different "ingrained" cultures. There are also nations without any "ingrained" culture...

    Wondering how any govt - by whatever party it is controlled - can control the culture. Even if no culture...

    Tell a scorpion not to sting and even hope it doesn't, but don't be surprised when it does.

    Not their fault, and can't blame China for being what it is, though it's easy to blame our leaders for being weak and distracted. The ruling Communist Party have never pretended to be our friends or admired any part of democracy or capitalism, rights, freedoms or transparency, except when convenient for their own purposes; the party exists pure and simple to exploit the people who in turn exist to serve the party.

    So what did we do? - we brought them into the WTO (Clinton?), opened our markets and technologies to them in the name of diplomacy and good relations, transplanted our factories and businesses to give the most calculating ideology of recent times every tool it needs to make and keep us dependent over the long term, which is how it views the world, over the short term, where we are.

    Brilliant waffling and your usual crap, however we're talking about China specifically . . . but feel free to deflect and obfuscate as you always do.

    Is it really that difficult for you to follow?

    But if you didn't keep posting shit we wouldn't have to do it.

    And why isn't the monkey-munching chinkies spreading diseases and crippling the US economy not part of your imaginary "hybrid war"?
