I think it's funny that the first requirement for the proposal is to write a law to bypass any British veto through majority vote. EU heavyweights call for radical foreign and defence policy overhaul | World news | guardian.co.uk Britain's the EU's greatest internal enemy after Greece...

It actually reminds me of a Thriller book I read where Indonesia invades Australia with thousands of decoy refugee ships, overwhelming the hi-tech Australian Navy.

The JMSDF has to resort to non-violent means to expel the ships. They'll never get rid of all of them!! Every ship they force back another two takes its place. So the Chinese shipbuilding industry does have a use after all. Overwhelm their Coast Guard with sheer numbers! :lol:

Hey bro, are you advertising Battleship 2 the Movie? The story's pretty cool if it was true :laugh: But only if we win. I don't want to be enslaved yet.

Yes, China's economy is slowing down as many predicted, but still not on the scale some of the 'bears' are claiming. I still see figures of 3%, 0% or even a negative growth forecast for China flying around online. I think some of those estimates are just overcompensating for when China's...

Was there evidence beyond all doubt that the attack on the Israeli diplomat is orchestrated by Iran? The actions of the Indian government indicates they have doubts onto the true origins of the attack, and hence are reluctant to cut ties with Iran, which would be economically disadvantageous.

Actually, going nuclear would only happen if there was an immediate existential threat to India. A repeat of the 1962 war would still imply a low intensity conflict in the lightly populated frontier regions of both nations. China or India can still press a victory without actually escalating...

"Mobocracy" is the most pure form of democracy. Mob rule like in Revolutionary France! But really, after the first day of protests, everyone is stuck in a mob mentality, and that is disastrous for China.

Japan invading China. Their constitution doesn't even allow their SDF to be used for offensive purposes. At most, it'll be a sea skirmish. Nothing more.

I can see the next war between India and China to be very bloody. This time around, a clear winner would impose harsh terms on the loser if it ever escalates beyond a simple border skirmish. And of course, if a large-scale nuclear exchange is avoided. Given the amount of strategic depth of...

And that is how the Japanese **** industry became so successful. Maybe because of the atrocities, the Chinese deserve receiving those islands back from the Japanese, as those islands are the only piece of territory that the Japanese managed to keep from its expansion in Asia, only to keep...

Obviously he doesn't speak for Taiwan. Think about what would of happened if he said it while he was in office. :rofl: Do you seriously see any Chinese cheering for him in the background, waving the ROC flag?

Sadly, America and the First Amendment says yes. But there's also a twisted rationale. Freedom of speech allows aggrieved parties to vent out their frustration at the target of their hate. If sites like Stormfront were forcibly closed down, the members won't gather neatly and be tracked and...

Ultra right-wing nationalists are the biggest threat to East Asian nations. I'll say that.

Koreans might support the US, but they sure don't support Japan. Even the children are taught to hate Japan. And this..

The author's right. The small number of trouble-makers came prepared with balaclavas to cover their faces. Of course, the flip side of the story, Australia's Muslim extremists constitute only a slim fraction of the Muslim population. It was the majority who reported to police of attempts to...

I sympathised with the protesters, only until I saw that some of the idiots were attacking restaurants for having Japanese names and characters. :hitwall: They're only attacking the livelihood of Chinese anyway, which makes it even more sad. Fervent nationalism is just as bad as religion in...

Inaction would make the US look even weaker. Opposing the revolutions would make everyone hate the US even more. Especially if the narrative is people rising in revolt against dictatorships. The hypocrisy would be so thick you can walk across it. So both of these choices are much worse...

It's a backlash against the American/Western presence and influence. That's understandable seeing as it happens in cycles. Combine political instability, poverty and religion and all you need is a spark to set it all off.

If you look at the reaction online, you'll think America will turn the Middle East to glass tomorrow. Luckily, governments don't act on emotions but on realpolitik. Obama's other option is to support the dictatorships from start to end, and Egypt, Tunisia, Libya all become like Syria. Not...
