Re: [China]'s taunting an old, toothless bulldog. Which means that the US has to put China's name higher up on the Axis of Evil list for "regime change",...
Toothless maybe, but aggressive... Isn't it pathetic to see that, at the dawn of the XXIst century, all the US has to offer the world is one, big, messy, bloody, global chase after terrorist windmills? If anything, that alone marks the bankruptcy of the US leadership... Just take South America: all the US administration has to offer it is ever more IMF medicine and ever more DEA and military troops to mop up drug enclaves in Colombia, Peru, Bolivia, etc. and chase the so-called drug barons...
On the other hand, the Chinese are coming with a big wallet, a checkbook and a shopping list... who's gonna get the red carpet? Trigger-happy gringos on a crusade or Chinese suits? The Pentagon or the Chinese Chamber of Commerce?
And the same pattern repeats itself in Africa: the Pentagon is scrambling to set up more military bases, more military alliances to fight "al-qaeda" in the rain forests of Central Africa... while the Chinese are talking dollars and business...
As for "regime change": ROFL!! Let's get serious here: so far, the only regime that has "changed" --and for the worst-- is the US regime. As I put it, regime change is not flowing from the US towards the Middle East but rather the other way around --I dubbed it the Judeofascist feedback. The more the US messes around the world over, the more it foolishly and self-delusively attempts to change foreign regimes in the Middle East, Africa, South America, Asia, wherever... the faster it will sink into troubles AT HOME, the faster it will change its OWN regime, the sooner the US's gonna wind up as a monstruous, self-destructive, replica of Israel....
