The muzzies would be well advised not to piss off the Chinese, unlike the US, they don’t give a damn about Amnesty Intl or the UN.

Yeah, they really "showed the love" in Afghanistan.

Take anything you read out of Russia, especially Pravda, with a mountainous grain of salt. Apparently the old commie propoganda minister is sending out orders from the grave...

High IQ's and low IQ's don't mix well.

I read an article recently how the African's have already begun to resent the Chinese.

It will be interesting to see how China reacts to having it’s people killed, and their faces pushed into sh*t
by these “bandits”.

The Chinese are not nearly as squeamish about killing people as the Americans, they are going to find out.

Russia, as usual, chooses poorly. Whenever they approach greatness, Russia prefers to self-destruct.

I guess the white rider will now morph into a dark horseman.

Well, the Chinese won't be tollerent if their oil supply is interupted. However, they've shown again and again that they don't give a crap about their people. If there is any outrage at all it'll be because of oil, not because of the deaths of the 9 Chinese souls.....
