yeah.

these missile "defense" systems are in truth offensive weapons systems, and the target is beijing.

we're starting to see a more coherent policy develop, and it's every bit as stupid as you'd expect. these high testosterone man-apes are rejecting anything resembling softpower (ex: the tpp) as effeminate, and instead opting to use the biggest, baddest guns they can find to threaten the chinese to do what they want, or else.

or else, what.

see, that's the reason why them book lerners always wanted to use the soft power. nobody really thinks they'll actually do it.

if the chinese focus on soft power in reaction, while the americans completely abandon it, it will be a superior strategy. i mean, consider the vietnamese capitalist. the chinese are offering free trade, while the americans are offering no trade at all. under those conditions, the vietnamese capitalist is simply not going to want american protection. protection from what? trade? it is in their interests to align with chinese softpower - and the bigger the guns the americans bring in, the larger the incentives are to side with the chinese.

it would be one thing to bring the guns in and utilize softpower. but, they're clearly being driven by the retarded idea that softpower is for unmanly fags. and, this is what happens when you elect somebody that thinks with his cock.

the chinese are not stupid. and, if this tactic takes four years or longer to get reversed then they're going to clean up.
