India, China to dictate world order |
|
"The rule-based international system that we and like-minded countries have spent so much effort putting in place for the last century or so is not going to survive India and China's rise to superpower status. They will make their own rules and impose their own values." http://www.canada.com/saskatoonstarphoenix/news/forum/story.html?id=d2c69069-7409-42b1-9bf5-b33b34a0f515&p=1

They make their own rules. Isn't that what we have done?

3. If the US doesn't find a way to wean itself from foreign oil, America will be in real trouble |
|
This is a big reason why we have to drive out the corporatists and neo-aristocrats from our government.

4. Ummmm...Imperial Amerika has already begun disassembly of the int'l system |
|
So if this is true, and presuming the Royal Bushies and their Vassals don't finsih the job themselves, there won't be much left for India and China to tear down by then.
Face it. We are already reliving the Grand Chessboard of the 1890s again.
How'd that end twenty or so years later, I forget...?
