Well the Chinese are quickly on their way to becoming the #1 consumer of raghead oil.
And lemme tell ya Abu-buddy, they ain’t gonna treat you like we do.
Their “media” doesn’t worry about wars for oil and they got 100x the number of trained killers you do.
The Chinese are exceedingly shrewd and very willing to just wait. Wait for the US and Russia to fight it out, while quietly ensconcing themselves financially in the region (like they are doing in the African nations now). Soon, the entire west will be buying our fuel from their corporations which while we are distracted militarily, they will be establishing and supplanting ours with theirs in the region.
As far as dealing with the locals, they have been playing the “smile in your face while stabbing you in the back” game far longer than the Muzzies. They will crush them at that game, while we and Russia play the “who’s got a bigger military” pissing contest.
The Chinese aren’t interested in military conquest. Theirs is a strategy of attrition.
