Whether under Democrat or Republican leadership, it is far from altruistic in its aims

Of cos, but was there a power holding so much that was better?

I'd say never before. 

And there's no one who can take over by a long shot.

And make no mistake, the US doesn’t send its carriers or its fighting men if it sees no benefit. 

It actually often does. 

It can cut a deal with Russia China... or anyone... anytime and suffer no consequences. 

It often acts on ideals at it own disadvantage.

F2 is a jap copy of the F16, if cannot get the real thing, then this is just as good.

Mitsubishi not just built F2.

Also built F15J and F15DJ.

Think also built some ammunition for these aircraft.

But dunno why their flagship SUV is still Outlander .......😅

At least their Starmex is popular.

Now tit-for-tat, PRC also claims to conduct "freedom of navigation" ops near alaska , in international waters but well within USA EEZ.

Didn't know why they waited so long to do this .

Cos its super expensive wayang for no actual benefit?

And also because PLAN is still building up the logistics capacity to sustain FONOPs far away from the Chinese mainland, even relying on Russian bases in the Far East, its still a long way to sail a few navy ships to prove a point, especially when it is not an important trade route the the Malacca and Taiwan Straits are.

Hot off the press.

I always tot NEH looked and spoke like LKY. Ideologically too. Never understood why he seem so low profile in PAP.

It is clear where Singapore stands. 

Really can't imagine CCS speaking like that.

Like in the office...intelligent, clever, smart, hardworking etc but must also know not to overshine the boss...even when the latter is...especially is less intelligent, less clever, less smart, not as hardworking, yet stupiak with words or policies...a master will always be the master in some circles...jedi knight no same as jedi master...even some are virtually there just to fill the seats...😂

Thing with Tiongs is that in country they are taught to be tough and resilient to outside influence.

chinamen are rude and uncouth, they just jammed themselves into the elevator with their luggage bags disregarding hobbit size children without so much as an excuse me. Tsk tsk.

what the party does to ensure their survival. Once again I iterate, China is NOT ccp, and ccp is very ccb with fatty liver.

those that know war will never allow little girls to crawl through corpses to look for food. That is war. All the aku buats please knock head harder on the ground. 
 

neh neh is much lower profile post erection euphoria. Literally stealth fighter is neh neh.

its unfair to compare neh neh with siasuay, one is an actual experienced knife fighter with a solid education, one is solidly educated for theoretical knife fighting.

in a pinch, neh neh can butcher a pig for us, siasuay would most likely send himself, his son and the pig to a&e.

and the problem, cannot renew coe for neh neh. Tiagong he go jimjilbang look for ivy. Bad boy what are you gonna do when they come for you? 😙🤭

basically mersayfatvader is trying to say is between the ground and mini🌠 is a lot of people seeking to keep their celery and accumulative rot and rubbish surfacing up.

I see it at my workplace. MCs taking over sg jobs in the name of meritocracy. A stop gap solution giving more problems.

back to Taiwan. Technology yes but it is still the humans that do the killing and dying.

all three SK, J and T use 繁体字，the big idiot tossed it for 简体字.

use what was already paid for in blood back in the day lah, why create new bill of blood?

and the yanks were rightly terrified of Asia yatgor, they knew how empty they were against a determined enemy. lock up all the issei,nisei and even yongsei.

what saved USA was luck and their immense natural strength to absorb and come back. The Sherman tanks were crap but enough of them could overwhelm Tigers. And sending B17s to overwhelm German air defences like high stakes poker game.

kamikazes b17 crews hoping to do it enough times to survive the war.

japan is tiny and going at 100% versus a behemoth. And why do the Japanese need to apologize to every loser in Asia? They accept that if they were to lose, it would be their fate as well. Very Chinese no?

The question is how would an invasion of China play out? If Prc shake too much, they won’t stop at Yalu river.

It's all about resource. 

If we look at resource put in, it goes far far deeper than that. Today's world is basically still built on post WW2 results. 

Direct US fighting forces and aid to allies (include ussr) was what kept Europe afloat against hitler.

Japan was basically defeated solely by the US navy.  Conveniently also saving China in the process.

When WW2 ended,  as the sole undamaged economy,  it directly/ indirectly bankrolled the reconstruction of Europe... including former enemies Germany,  Italy,  Japan. 

After that,  it repeated for South Korea.

Little of any of those was ever repaid. Cos of the US belief in a "free world"... kinda idealistic.  But there was NEVER a super power that behaved that way.

But more importantly,  the US navy ensured that freedom of navigation in the oceans was real for the first time in history. It made possible the global trade that ensured unknown before prosperity for most EVERYONE,  even Russian ships, while countries like Singapore are alive only because of it.... Lky knew and built a carrier berth.

It's undeniable many countries took advantage and were frankly parasitic in this equation. This includes Europe too.

Things are changing,  in fact it already started since several presidents ago. Thrump is just the most vocal. 

Can't really blame them,  they want everyone to pay a fair share. The US increasingly no longer has the will nor ability to do it alone. 

There US could revert to pre WW2 isolationism,  and people who are cheering it have no bloody idea of the consequences of what they are talking about.

 

The United Nations formed following the failure of its former counterpart, the league of nations

By not giving sufficient voice to economic and military superpowers, conflicts break out inevitably 

For the past 70 years, UN, though its shortcomings, has been relatively effective in preventing major wars between nuclear powers from breaking out

I would say, though I may not have lived through then, the 60s through 80s to be effective spread of US influence through “globalisation” where the US citizenry is confident, and economic “co-prosperity” is spread through 3rd world countries

Post 2000s created a series of bubbles originating from US causing contagion through the world and economic suffering was co-paid by the world

Since 2010s with Obama’s “return to US” call for manufacturing, it turned its back on economic textbooks 

The US now is no longer the same as then

 

I’ll link a fireside chat with Ng Eng Hen just this week on SG’s view on US 

It will be good to understand, especially the vague and unspoken answers to the moderator

Now, if Sg could run the property known as China, would sg NOT do it?

PRC has absolutely no intention of helping the Koreas unite and alleviating Japan elderly problem, ergo absorbing 2 more provinces…Kiv the third province known as Vietnam.

too much work, easier to go military method.

Now if prc is able to charm and smiling tiger neh neh level (notice he channel his turbo and ecu known as IVY) then USA would need diapers.

we need people who can get their hands dirty , trained to be responsible , and able to manage the truth such as you are going to die with you thanking and paying them.

It’s funny, 2 Asians sprecken English in Aspen. SNL at its finest. Comedy hour.

you see la Trump eyeing the gold of China liao. I hope his ear recovers. Acerbic.

WTF does this honkie want? 

The right to protest? The right to slander leaders?

Under LKY and QE, both are not allowed, and hence are successful.

HKgers are 2nd class citizens on their own land from birth under the British
