China has become like one of the Axis countries of the 1940's, except they are going about their expansionism in slower fashion so as not to alarm the rest of the world.

Ongoing for generations now.

I could well imagine a President Clinton returning from a last minute diplomatic mission, touting peace in our time and waving around a piece of paper.

Here is a thought, let China become entangled with India, then the US attacks North Korea, driving all the way to the border and holding.

NOw now, don’t listen to those Bhutanese, they
aren’t the real ones, just ask the Chinese Bhutanese.
Heck, just ask the Chinese Tibetians...

China has been planning this move for a long time
and the first move is always to provide for your logistics.

China just wants to build a road. It doesn’t matter what the other country wants,

It just a road. Honest.

I really believe that India could take China or hurt them so bad that they would surrender. China does a lot of talking and parades but that is about all.. The nuke problem is equal with India who has nukes also. But the difference is that India fighters are fierce.

I had to look that up as I had no idea where that was.

"In addition to 'talking to l'il Kim', We Chinese backed down against India for you Americans, so now in return YOU have to 'understand' our needs in the far west Pacific. Fair is fair, right..? You're always harping about DEALS, right..? You Hamburger Eaters have to tool around no more west than Guam, the rest of the west Pacific is OURS"

Get it...? I'll betchya.

It's all a Chinese scam, AS USUAL.

Still, this is back door pressure on China. Puts their skin in the game — having a nuclear neighbor who’s willing to skirmish and escalate with them.

Perhaps president Trump will announce that we will support india if China strikes first or disproportionately.

Just as Putin’s actions in Ukraine were to cover actions in the Crimea, the Chinese actions against India are to cover the debacle that is north Korea.
