Funny.
China will reassert it’s claim to siberia in 20 years.p
Naval bases in the Crimea ( river) are easily controlled by Turkey.
The world is a lot better off when he plays golf (or visits that bath house).
In a multi polar world (US, EU, China, India, Russia, Brazil) the first two powers fight will lose. The US can learn from China. When the US petitioned the UN to invade Iraq for the second time, Russia protested vehemently, but China response was muted. She declared that peace was preferred over invasion and all parties should seek a political solution. The US thought China did not care about Iraq, in reality she set a political tone so the US would leap into Iraq because China figure it would become a quagmire for the US. It turned out to be true. IED, ROE and repeated deployments sapped the US forces, and treasury. China is repeating the strategy today. Let the US and Russia fight. If Russia loses she would be forced to be more dependent on China for cash. If Russia wins, the US is weakened and China is in a much better position to expand her claims in Asia. Do not forget, China and Russia are natural enemies. Today they need each other to balance against US dominance. If US is diminished, both will re align themselves. Right now China chose the “monkey on the rock watching two lions fight” approach to world conflict.
Yeah, that’ll work. Full-on idiots.
Is this SOB really that stupid to believe that China will listen to his worthless drivel? This man child has got to be the biggest dumb M EFFER ever to hold any office in the Noor Loch, and that is saying a lot, since there are tons of dumb asses there.
Putin needs to be able to “Sanctions Bust”. If he has his puppet states and his allies take a neutral stance, it is far less likely that we will target them with similar “revolutions”, sanctions, or other direct actions. It also allows Putin to bypass any sanctions put on his country. Remember that Putin plays chess while Obama plays marbles.
Actually Obama may indeed have some leverage.
China is currently running a (massive) trade surplus with the United States.
318 billion I believe, in 2013.
That is some serious leverage. Just saying.
Is that that Hopey Changey Thingy again?
If Hussein made a comment about a checkers game, I’d check the official rules; Hussein doesn’t know jack s**t about anything.
I would just love see the Dalai Lama whack Obama upside the head
Like Russia really cares what the Red Chinese think...
So Obama is going to rely on China now? Goodbye Taiwan
Russian Chinese relationship will be very interesting to watch in the next six months.
